Netrix Shapes Elements - NetRix Shapes component comes with a full User Interface, PropertyGrid support and additional controls (ColorPicker, FontPicker, StyleEditor) in nine languages. The component supports MS Word table editing, Drag & Drop etc. In addition to the pre-defined shapes offered by Netrix Shapes, programmers can also create custom shapes using the shape element. Predefined shapes serve two purposes - they provide a more compact representation of a small number of very frequently encountered drawing operations (particularly rectangles and circles).

Netrix Shapes Drawing Capability - Shape elements represent shapes: rectangles, ovals, circles, triangles. Each shape is described as a path formed from a series of connected lines and curves. Netrix Shapes uses elements and attributes to describe the outline, fill, position and other properties of each shape. Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) styles are used to position the individual shape elements on the Web page, alongside the usual HTML elements such as P and IMG.
