makeshape 2.1 (25 January 2013) The makeshape package simplifies writing PGF shapes. Declaring custom shapes with correct anchor borders can be difficult. Complex shapes often need complicated calculations to find the touching point of a connecting line. This package only requires that a developer write a PGF path describing the anchor border. It also provides macros that help with the management of shape parameters, and the definition of anchor points. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's documentation files are makeshape.pdf - The package's user guide sampleshape.tex - A sample shape. testsample.tex - Source for a document that tests the sample shape. testsample.pdf - The outcome of the tests. ontesting.pdf - A report on the various tests used in testsample.tex The package's installation files are makeshape.sty - The package's style file makeshape.ins - The package's installation file. makeshape.dtx - Source for the package's user documentation and code. ontesting.dtx - Source for a report on testing and code for the test document.

makeshape – Declare new PGF shapes
The package simplifies production of custom shapes with correct anchor borders, in PGF/TikZ; the only requirement is a PGF path describing the anchor border.
The package also provides macros that help with the management of shape parameters, and the definition of anchor points.
