Are all parallelograms "right-leaning"?


Recommended Posts

When using the parallelogram, I've noticed that regardless of the click sequence, all parallelograms (shape tool) seem to be right-handed only. That is, when the first click is on the bottom left or top right, both points selected are on the parallelogram because the parallelogram itself has the "up-and-to-the-left" angling. Starting the first click on the top left or bottom right creates a similar parallelogram, but this time the points selected are "floating".

 

I know I can flip/rotate, etc., but just wondered if this is by design?

I intuitively would have expected that the clicks always end up on the shape, so that starting on the top left or bottom right would create a left-handed parallelogram.

 

(Note in the image below, that when trying to create left-handed parallelograms, both clicks are "floating" and are not on the shape.
