Rectangle tool - curved edges

Good morning everyone. I have researched this question online and can’t seem to solve the issue. When using the rectangle tool my corners are rounded. How do I remove this option?

Thank you for your help.

You do that by adjusting the settings in tool options before creating the shape.

With a raster layer, you can use the brush editor to create a suitable brushtip:


(It’s not perfect.)

With vectors, you can edit the join style:

@sooz: That Round parameter only works with a suitable brushtip. It’s confusing.

Thanks, @AhabGreybeard - I didn’t know that.

I’ve only just found that out, by playing with it for a while :slight_smile:

The Round settings are for the Fill, which the brush Outline is then painted around. So if you use a round brush and a rounded fill, the results will be compounded.

The results are compounded in a way that seems confusing. Using the Basic-2 Opacity:

The good news is that you can get a perfect rectangle by using a very small brush with a Filled rectangle and Foreground/Background set to the same colour.

Or you could use No Outline.

interesting conversation I noticed this same problem a couple days ago. Even with a Tools option setting of zero there was still some roundness. One would think Zero means Zero. Maybe a little tweaking to the code? :wink:
