Shapes 4.0

Shapes is a drawing utility for Mac that comes in handy whenever you need to design diagrams or charts with ease. This program is filled with numerous geometrical shapes, each with individual configurations, provides you with plenty of text settings, and lets you export your results to various image formats.

On the left side of the screen you can see a list containing the offered geometrical shapes which you can drag-and-drop onto your drawing. For every attached item you have access to a long list of settings. For example, when adding a rectangular shape to your painting, you can adjust its opacity level, change the resolution of the item, fill it with any desired color, and much more.

I like the fact that the app provides you with a built-in search tool to help you find the geometrical shapes you wish to add to your chart or diagram.

Once you finish your drawing you can export the result to various image formats, such as GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and PDF. You can also print the diagrams directly from the program's interface.

To conclude, Shapes is a simple and helpful diagramming utility for Mac. Nevertheless, you can easily find similar apps that are cheaper and with extra features for designing charts or diagrams (for instance, GIMP).
