General shapes
Use the General shapes section to create a diagram with icons such as arrow, circle, text box.
You can add a shape to the canvas by either selecting the shape or by dragging the shape from the Shapes palette to the canvas.
You can also adjust the size of shapes by selecting a shape and then drag any of its edges or corner handles. Pulling outward increases the shape's dimensions, while dragging inward reduces its size.
