The shape tool is on the main toolbar between the text tool and image tool. The first two shape options are rectangles and circles.

I definitely saw the button, and clicked on it many times. And vigorously, but nothing ever happened. I tried this in Firefox and Chrome on two different machines.

Then I used some debugging skills, and found that there were a pair of zero-opacity <iframe>s blocking my clicks on the button, which is why nothing happened. After detaching them from the document, the shape button started doing stuff. I suspect these mystery iframes explain most of my difficulty in using it.

    I Hyvector an `iframe` is only used when parsing an SVG, so apparently something went wrong and the iframe was not removed properly. I will have to add better error handling to prevent ensure everything is cleaned up in any case.

      I'm not sure if you changed anything, but it's working now. No phantom iframes. Everything makes more sense now.
