Importing a Shape Library. To import a shape library, choose Import Shape Library. From the action button to the right of the library popup. Alternatively, you can simply double click your shape library document. Changing the extension of a Graphic document from 'idraw' to 'idshapes' will turn that document into a shape library. The base class for all types of shapes that can be drawn on a ShapeView. This class maintains all of the properties that are common to every type of shape, such as its bounds (position and size on the canvas), visibility, color (though some subclasses define multiple kinds of colors), and rotation. Animation support is also provided through.
Any custom shape library can have a custom background color — both when creating it (by clicking the color well in the naming dialog), and when using the Rename… option from the action button to the right of the library popup.

The Shape Library panel manages libraries of reusable shapes. You can create your own libraries, save shapes, and reuse them throughout multiple projects.
Graphic includes a few built-in example libraries to help you get started. The included shapes can be used to add symbols or annotations to an existing design, create floor plan layouts, and even design iPhone app mockups.
