Download the file you need. Open it in OpenOffice. Copy the desired shape using Ctrl+C, and paste into your own drawing. That's all! (If you need additional help, see the tutorial.)
To resize a shape, click it, hold down the Shift key, and drag one of the handles.
If you need a shape, or a shape in a different color or with more glue points, please contact me.
If you notice something good or bad about these images, let me know.
