Richard. Intersting stuff.
When one first drags a roundRect from the toolbar, the PI has a field to enter a value for the “roundRadius” property. But after a rotation, where the graphic is now defined solely by its “points” property, the ability to get or set that property disappears. I suppose this makes sense. And if one sets the roundRadius property to a value greater than the geometry of the graphic will allow, that is, the radius of the corners is greater than that which will ‘fit” onto the graphic itself, one gets a circle, though defined by points as opposed to the usual startAngle and arcAngle.
