1.5 and 1.6

In 1.6 a shape is drawn into an image:

• the line is solid, or absent with line type 1; dashed and dotted lines become solid;
• the inside is filled only with fill type 7; any other fill type leaves it empty, hatching included;
• rounded corners are square;
• types 1 and 2 are drawn as ellipses, the others as rectangles; types 1, 5 and 6 shrink the box to a square, centred in it;
• a thick line is drawn inside the box, off-centre by half its width, as EasyUO 1.6 did;
• being an image, the shape can be drawn on with the menu Image commands;
• a negative width, height, shape type, line type, line width or fill type is refused.
