Webbo's link to Wikipedia results in a wrong description. The image shows what is correctly termed a ''rounded corner rectangle''. A ''rounded rectangle'' is the common expression for the image in Another-view's link, and covers shapes where the ends are arcs of various radii up to and including semi-circles. These shapes are commonly used in 'flow charts'
