Rectangle Shape: Not Rounded, but 2 white dots are not in Upper Right Corner
i'm doing the Tutorial Shapes.and I'm working on the blue rectangle. it's a perfect angular rectangle. A white dot appears in the upper right corner. I drag it down. The rectangle 's corners get rounded.We now can see another white dot in upper right corner. I drag it to the left. Rectangle's shape changes further. I drag this same dot (on the top part of rectangle) back to the corner. And i'm surprised to see that it has become a prefect rectangle again i thought it could only be a perfect (angular) rectangle if the two white dots are in the upper-right corner. It gets even stranger. I play around with the up-and-down white dot (the dot on the right side of the rectangle). Dragging it up or down doesn't change the shape of the now not-rounded rectangle.
hi ubunt2,
no worries, sounds like everything is working ok.
if you start dragging the second dot around then you can have different curvature on the horizontal and vertical planes. if you then put the horizontal dot to the far right then the horizontal width of the curve becomes zero, at which point it's not a curve anymore and is the same shape as the original rectangle. at this point the vertical dot is irrelevant and just sits there waiting for the horizontal dot to be moved again.
good move on doing the tutorials. i started playing with stuff at random and subsequently know some parts of inkscape pretty well and have gaping holes in other areas. at some point i plan to work through the tutorials to get a better understanding.
