Does anyone know how to draw a rounded triangle?
Something I thought would be simple, but I can't find an option for it.
TIA
Rounded Triangle?

Am I missing something - does adding a rounded rectangle help me get a triangle?
I was thinking there would be a way of 'rounding' any shape like there is in other apps.

My bad, I read it as a "rounded rectangle". For a rounded triangle, add a regular triangle shape, make it editable (press the Return key), then drag over the triangle to select all points. Once selected, Control-click any of the points and choose 'Make Smooth Point'. Use the direction handles of each point to then shape the triangle. Hope that helps!

I guess he wants something like this: a triangle with a bold Stroke set to Center/Outside:
My question is: how do we convert this into an outline for Boolean operation for instance - like we convert Text into shapes?

That's a great technique! But you're right, there isn't really a way to turn stroke into a shape at the moment, so it would be a bit tricky to control the corner radius of the stroked triangle. Of course, there's the method of converting the shape's selection into a new shape but you'd lose some of the detail this way (especially with more intricate shape designs). Requests for this function come up more and more lately, though, so we'll have to see if we can add it to Pixelmator Pro moving forward.

+ Contour Tool? One can dream.
