The shape properties are not restricted to <strong>the</strong> sidedness and pointedness. Given<br />
<strong>the</strong> vectorial attributes previously described and <strong>the</strong> relations between sides and<br />
angles and also between what appears as <strong>the</strong> base <strong>of</strong> a shape and its height, <strong>the</strong><br />
pointing <strong>is</strong> ano<strong>the</strong>r significant shape property, which can be strongly influenced<br />
by <strong>the</strong> accentuation. If <strong>the</strong> pointing <strong>is</strong> a shape attribute, <strong>the</strong>n it <strong>is</strong> expected to<br />
create and define <strong>the</strong> perceived shape.<br />
