Highlighting Players with Shapes
These features draw polygons, polylines, ovals, and rectangles fitted to players, so you can highlight players and how they are arranged.
Drawing shapes from selected players
When you select players, buttons for drawing shapes appear in the header.
| No. | Button | Action | Shown when |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Places a circle behind each player. The size is the oval default diameter | One or more players | |
| 2 | Connects the selected players with a polyline | Two or more players | |
| 3 | Surrounds the selected players with a polygon | Three or more players | |
| 4 | Surrounds the selected objects with a rectangle | Two or more objects |
With two players selected, a button for an oval around the two and a button that swaps their positions also appear.
Shapes linked to players
Polygons and polylines stay linked to the players they were made from (Basic plan). Moving a player reshapes the shape, and moving the shape moves the players with it.
To unlink a shape, select it and press Unlink.
Drawing by clicking players in order
With the polygon tool or the polyline tool chosen, click a player to start adding players one at a time.
- Click the players to include, in order. Vertices are connected in the order you click, and the shape so far is shown as a line. The number of players chosen appears at the top of the screen.
- Click the first player again, or press "Done" at the top of the screen, to create the shape. Clicking somewhere other than a player also ends the mode.
- A polyline needs at least two players and a polygon at least three. Ending with fewer cancels the shape.
Shapes made this way are linked to the players, just like shapes made from a selection. The line showing the shape so far uses the shape's stroke settings, so it is invisible while the stroke width is 0.
Using the oval tool on players
With the oval tool chosen, you can also add circles based on players. → Highlighting players with the oval tool
- Click a player to place a circle with the default diameter behind that player.
- Drag from one player to another to place an oval around the two players.
