Origin's Tools Toolbar provides you with the ability to create 9 different objects:

1. arrows
2. curved arrows
3. lines
4. rectangles (squares)
5. ellipses (circles)
6. polygons
7. curved regions
8. poly-lines (straight lines connected together)
9. free-form lines

Each of these objects have four edit states: Select/Move/Resize, Rotate, Skew, and Point-by-Point edit. These objects improve the ability to annotate graphs and layout pages, allowing you to create freeform objects much as you would with a sophisticated drawing program. With Origin, there's no need to go to another program to finish creating your graphical presentation!

Object attributes can be changed using the new Style and Format toolbars. You can select multiple objects and apply a common format to those objects with the click of a button.

For instance, here you see how easy it is to change both rectangle border color and line color simultaneously using the Style Toolbar.
