Using Shapes

Keynote provides a variety of predrawn shapes you can add to slides. You can also
create your own custom shapes.

Adding a Predrawn Shape

You can insert predrawn shapes, such as triangles, arrows, circles, and rectangles, to use
as simple graphics.

Here are ways to add a predrawn shape:

You can also create one of the included shapes from the shape’s center. Option-click
Shapes in the toolbar, choose a shape, and then drag the crosshair pointer. To constrain
the shape (for example, to keep triangles equal on all sides), press the Shift key as you
drag.
