This example illustrates how to interactively draw shapes and connections. Rulers, gridlines, and snapping options are enabled to assist with drawing. The InteractionController property is used to enable drawing, with DrawOnce or ContinuousDraw options for drawing modes. The DrawingObject property defines the shape or connector to be drawn.

Templates for various shapes and connectors are available in the palette. Click on a template to start drawing basic shapes and connectors. With each left-click, a corner or point is added to reshape polygons, and the drawing completes with a right-click or double-click.
