Every Shape starts with line.

Every shape has starting and ending points
Every shape has its dimensional parameters

Basically there are three types of shapes

1. Geometrical : Geometric shapes are most recognised shapes by human mind. Every
geometric shapes can be defined by its name like Square, Circle, Over, Triangle,
Rectangle, Cube, Cone, Pyramid etc. Examples are shown below :
