Shape gallery

Every corner-shape value on the same box at the same radius. The radius is what the corner consumes; the shape is what it does with that space — which is why every one of these is the same size and none of them is the same silhouette.

Take the radius to zero and every shape collapses to a square corner — there is no space for the shape to happen in. That is the relationship: the radius is the budget, the shape is how it is spent.
