### Shape frames context menu

If you click on a selected shape frame while pressing [Control] (or right-click) to open a context menu, you will see the following context menu:

However, most functions which are offered in this context menu, are also available in the menu bar of iCalamus. The only menu item of interest here for simple shapes is Path, which offers the following options:

Open Path

  This function opens the vector path in a shape frame. The menu entry then changes to Close Path (see below).

Close Path

  This function closes the vector path in a shape frame. When you choose this function, an additional vector line will be drawn from the current end point to the start point. This way you will quickly get a closed vector path.

Reverse Path

  This function reverses the path direction of a vector path. A shape frame contains a shape which is represented by at least one vector path. This shape can look different or be used in different ways depending on the path direction.

If you have selected a frame with a dynamic shape, a Shape submenu will be offered instead, with the following options:

Edit Shape Parameters

  This function is described in detail in the Shapes chapter of the Objects menu.

Convert to Editable Path

  This function is described in detail in the Shapes chapter of the Objects menu.
