Description

The shape of a graduation determine whether the graduation is linear or non-linear. Possible values are as follows:

Value	Shape
0	Linear
1	Non-linear automatic (assumes the shape of the bounding area)
2	Non-linear circular shape
3	Non-linear square shape

Linear graduations are discussed elsewhere, and here are some examples of non-linear configurations:

Automatic (1)	Circular (2)	Square (3)

The commands to create these graduations are as follows:

graduation mygrad,-rgb=<0,100,0, 30,30,30>,-sh=1;# Automatic
graduation mygrad,-rgb=<0,100,0, 30,30,30>,-sh=2;# Circular shape
graduation mygrad,-rgb=<0,100,0, 30,30,30>,-sh=3;# Square shape

All 3 of these examples use the default graduation center (0,0). See graduation.centering for examples which vary the center.
