  • You can double-click on a symbol image to add the shape. If the Text field is empty, a blank shape is added.

Options

  • Auto-detect shape type: If checked, as you type the entry in the Text field, FlowBreeze will select the shape type from the gallery above. Supports Keywords and Prefixes.
  • Add connector from previous shape: If checked, will add a flow line connector from the last shape added (if one exists and can be detected).
  • Override default styles: When checked, you can customize the shape style and font.
