The ShapeDesigner component implements a vector-drawing canvas where Shape definitions can be created interactively. Call the ImportShape method to open a shape for editing. Call the ExportShape method to create a Shape with specified Id from current content of the designer canvas.

ShapeDesigner shows a palette with two kinds of elements: Primitives which when dropped on the canvas add a single curve or line segment, and Templates which when dropped on canvas add a closed path of several graphic primitives. It supports the following drag-and-drop operations:

• dropping a primitive over existing element of a shape outline replaces the element.
• dropping a primitive over the joint of two outline elements inserts the element between them.
• dropping a primitive on an empty area of the canvas adds a decoration to the Shape.
• dropping a template over the shape outline replaces all elements of the outline with ones from the template.
• dropping a template on an empty area of the canvas adds a filled ShapeDecoration to the Shape.
• dropping a template over a ShapeDecoration replaces its elements.
