Set the radius of rounded rectangles

You can specify the radius, in pixels, of the corners of rounded rectangles. The radius determines their "roundness". You can:

• Enlarge or reduce the radius of the rounded rectangle on the fly. The easiest way to do this is with the keyboard.

• Set the radius of the rounded rectangle to a specific value using the Properties Editor.

  

Rounded rectangles maintain their radius when their size is changed. If the graphic containing rounded rectangles is embedded into a window and resized, the radius is not affected. This can have adverse affects on the graphic representation of your graphic.
