Regular Shapes

Example of some Regular Shape styles.

This example shows how several regular shapes or symbols (representing x, cross, star, triangle, square and stacked) can be created. A rectangle is produced by scaling a square created without rotation. Style stacked represents possility to stack multiple shapes with offset
