  This application replaces "NTK Shapes," an earlier
version of "ShapeRus."  Name change to be cute :-).

  This is version 0.9.5, it never seems quite ready
for 1.0.0  ;-) .
  
  While developing NewtonGOLF(TM) I found the need to
experiment with different foreground and background
fill pattern combinations to see what "looked" good
on a Newton MP screen.  So I put together this
utility program.  If you find it useful, drop me a
line via Email.  If you have suggestions, I'll take
them under advisement.  If you what to see the code
(it ain't pretty :-( ) drop me a line and let
me know "what for" and I may be willing to send it
to you.

  This utility allows a developer to see the
visual appearance of the various NTK Drawing
shape attribute choices & their combinations.

- You can choose what NTK Shape primitive to draw.
- You can choose its foreground fill pattern.
- You can choose its foreground pen pattern.
- You can choose its background fill pattern.
- You can choose the mode of fg/bg pixel interaction.
- You can define your own pattern and use it
  for fg fill, fg pen, or bg fill pattern.  It
  also shows you the HEX pattern value needed
  for NTK.  Tap in input grid to toggle on or off
  the 8x8 pixel location.
- You can define your own polygon shape to replace
  the default polygon (pentagon) shape.  Polygon
  input supports snap to grid option.  Tap (not
  stroke) in input area to define polygon points.
  Close the last point to the first point when
  done.

  The result of all these options and choices
appears in the canvas located above the menu
buttons.
