Must the PtButton widget be rectangular? Is there a easy way to change
the shape of this button (ie. a triangle or a circle) without creating a
new widget?

Thanks Mary…

Hi, you can use PtPolygon or PtEllipse, or PtBitmap to draw
any button you want.

For example, a circle button can be designed by a PtBitmap. When
you press it, it will show arming bitmap.

True, but you’ll need to make the ellipse (or whatever) selectable and
write an Arm callback that will make it look pressed in.
