Adding shapes to a report

When designing report formats in Seagate Crystal Reports, you can insert a variety of shapes such as circles, eclipses, and boxes with rounded corners, as part of your report. This is especially useful for formatting reports in languages that require these shapes to effectively communicate.

To add shapes to a report

1. Add a box to your report.

   See Adding and editing boxes.

2. Right-click the box to bring up the shortcut menu.
3. On the shortcut menu, click Format Box.
4. In the Format Editor that appears, click the Rounding tab.

   

5. Move the slider to the right to increase the curvature of the box corners.

   The box that you started with gradually changes to an ellipse or circle, depending on how far you move the slider to the right.

6. Once the appropriate shape is created, click OK to save your changes.
