Bug Description

Can there be more basic shapes to choose from, maybe all grouped in on one
extra shape button?

Because there are lots of common shapes that would take a long time (or at
least some time) to make well: smiley faces, arrows, cylinders, cubes,
spheres, thinking bubbles, text bubbles, banners, and so forth. The drawing
tools in Microsoft Word have a lot of these auto shapes.

The clip art has shapes with variable elements? Because...

What about a heart shape? You could change the hight of the upper-middle
point.
What about a no/cross sign? (A circle with a line going diagonally
across). You could change the width of the middle line or the angle it
comes in at.
Smiley face? Change the hight and distance of the eyes... and so on

I look forward to more default shapes being added, like arrows with fill and without fill (just thin stroke arrows) and so on. It's such a kerfuffle having to make my own arrow every time.
