To make objects with aspect ratio of 1:1, move the mouse while holding down the Shift key when drawing / transforming. For rectangles / ellipses / rounded rectangles, set the AspectRatio property to False before using the mouse to draw the object.
For PasteImage objects, set the AspectRatio property to False when drawing and the SelectedObjectAspectRatio property when transforming. For Text and Stamp objects, set the WordWrap property to False when drawing and the SelectedObjectWordWrap property to False when transforming.
Example Code
Draws or transforms images, background fill texts, and stamps with squares, perfect circles, rounded squares, and an aspect ratio of 1: 1.
Drawing and transforming using the mouse
[When drawing / pasting]
Square / Round / Rounded Square
(1) Set the ImageKit1.Edit.EditKind property to
Newtone.ImageKit.Win.KindOfEdit.Rectangle / Ellipse /
RoundRectangle (* For ellipses and rectangles, the value of the
AspectRatio property is irrelevant)
(2) Draw while holding down the Shift key
Square image》
(1) Set the ImageKit1.Edit.EditKind property to
Newtone.ImageKit.Win.KindOfEdit.Image2) Set the
ImageKit1.Edit.AspectRatio property to False
(3) Specify the pasting range while holding down the Shift key.
(4) Select and paste (4) Select and paste the image file in the
dialog box
Text stamp with 1: 1 aspect ratio (background fill)
(1) Set the ImageKit1.Edit.EditKind property to
Newtone.ImageKit.Win.KindOfEdit.Text / StampgeKit1.Edit.WordWrap
property to False
(* Set the Newtone.ImageKit.Win.KindOfEdit.Fill property to True
for background fill with text)
(3) Specify the drawing range while holding down the Shift key (*
Press the Shift key before mouse down to specify the range.)
(4) Enter text and click outside the range to confirm
(* After specifying the drawing / pasting range, release the Shift
key after mouse-up.)

Falsendependently, grab o(2) Select the drawn object independently,
grab one of the blocks at the four corners, and hold down the Shift
key while transforming.
Square image
(1) Select the pasted image object independently and set the
ImageKit1.Edit.SelectedObjectAspectRatio property to False.hold
down the Shift (2) Grab one of the four corner blocks and hold down
the Shift key while transforming.
Text stamp with 1: 1 aspect ratio (background fill)
(1) Select the pasted text / stamp object independently and set the
ImageKit1.Edit.SelectedObjectWordWrap property to False.Shift key
while transforming.
(* This operation is possible even if it is not a square / circle /
rounded square when drawing / pasting. Conversely, even if it is
drawn / pasted as a square / circle / rounded square, press the
Shift key when transforming. If you do not press it, the aspect
ratio will not be 1: 1.
You can also change the behavior by pressing and releasing the
Shift key even during mouse operation. )
(* After transforming, release the Shift key after mouse-up.)
