=head2 scale_x, scale_y

Scale factor in x and y dimension, for scaling the shape width and height. The default value is 1.

Scaling may be set on the shape object or via C<insert_shape()>.

=head2 adjustments

Adjustment of shape vertices. Most shapes do not use this. For some shapes, there is a single adjustment to modify the geometry. For instance, the plus shape has one adjustment to control the width of the spokes.

Connectors can have a number of adjustments to control the shape routing. Typically, a connector will have 3 to 5 handles for routing the shape. The adjustment is in percent of the distance from the starting shape to the ending shape, alternating bet...

=head2 stencil

Shapes work in stencil mode by default. That is, once a shape is inserted, its connection is separated from its master. The master shape may be modified after an instance is inserted, and only subsequent insertions will show the modifications.

This is helpful for Org charts, where an employee shape may be created once, and then the text of the shape is modified for each employee.

The C<insert_shape()> method returns a reference to the inserted shape (the child).

Stencil mode can be turned off, allowing for shape(s) to be modified after insertion. In this case the C<insert_shape()> method returns a reference to the inserted shape (the master). This is not very useful for inserting multiple shapes, since the x...
