A shape is an enclosed object that has an external surface or outline of specific form or figure. There are three kinds of shapes:

Geometric or Mechanical
Those are created with straight lines, circles and parts of circles.

Just double click on any word in the text that you would like explained.
Organic or Natural
Those are shapes found in nature. Organic shapes are mostly created with images. Some examples of organic shapes are animals, people and plants.
Abstract
Those shapes have familiar forms but are not found in the 'real' world as the organic shapes are. Symbols and icons are good examples for this kind of shapes.
In SiteSpinner you can create this shapes using 'Draw a ..' features from the Components Toolbar. You'll find more information on the subject in SiteSpinner Tutorials in the sections 'Creating Straight Shapes' and 'Creating Curvy Shapes'. Just like with lines do check out the options presented on Larry's  and Bruce's websites.
