 '''Node Description and Purpose'''<br />
 The Simple shape shader is a node which makes it easy to create simple shapes such as circles/ellipses, squares/rectangles, triangles and regular polygons like pentagons and octagons. It can generate both colour and displacement. It can also apply different effects to the edges of the shape.
@@ Line 13: / Line 15: @@
 Smooth step creates a smooth transition between the edge and the interior of the shape. Bevel creates a straight line or linear ramp and Radius makes a quarter circle shape. Stroke is not shown here. It creates a solid stroke or border around the inside of the shape. Stroke can only be used in colour mode.

-'''Node Type:''' Shader
 '''Settings:'''
 * '''Type of shape''': This setting lets you choose the type of shape generated by the shader. You can choose from "Square/Rectangle", "Circle/Ellipse" or "Polygon". To create a triangle use a polygon with 3 sides.
