Thanks Christine, I wanted people to explore and discover as you have done. A Rectangle is a forced 4-sided QuickShape.
I was trying to point out all the solid drawing shapes we have in Xara are created from the same proto-shape. Once you realise this, you can aspire to other manipulations.
Where the concept breaks down is loading an image (clearly a rectangle) and then giving it a flat fill. You then just have a "Shape".
Equally, using the Shape tool to create a rectangle also results in a "Shape".
Ultimately, I was hoping to convince Xara that a flat-fill rectangle (from a picture or drawing tool) ought to be morphed into a QuickShape to add he available functionality the QuickShape has.
