PCC2 can draw four kinds of items into the starchart:
- Polygons, sequences of lines
- Rectangles
- Circles
- Markers, little symbols
If you want to draw a marker, PCC2 will prompt you for shape and color, and draw that marker into the starchart. For the other types, you'll be dropped back in the starchart, and a new shape starting here will be begun.
Regular starchart movement keys are accepted.
