Subject: [Gimp-user] drawing a simple rectangle
Hi,

I'm new to this list.
I'll start off by saying that I've used adobe and macromedia products
extensively.

I'm trying to draw a flowchart in Gimp.
The first problem I have is that there is no rectangle 'draw' tool.
So I used the selection tool, then set the line to solid, however in order to
move the rectangle I have to select the area around it and move that. That can't
be the way :-(

Secondly I'd like to create a rectangle and put text in there and group the two
objects or layers.
Is there a way to do this?

I'm pretty sure these are basic questions and I tried searching the archives,
however the search tool didn't work,

your help would be welcome :-)

thanks,
kind regards,
Luke
