What is this shape that looks like a rectangle with rounded ends called?

A rounded rectangle but with full radius.



This cannot be a rounded rectangle because those are not fully or "perfectly" rounded at the two ends. This is more like an elongated circle? A flat cylinder?



I searched a lot, but among all guides or pictures that identify and name different shapes, I couldn't get this particular shape. The closest I could get was a stretched ellipse.



There are only two processes to get this shape as far as I know: the first one is making a long rectangle and making its corner radius exactly half of the height. The second one is putting two circles a distance apart and adding a rectangle between those. So, are these something like "perfect rounded rectangles" or "rectangular circles"?

    I would call it "rounded stroke cap"

  • Yes, that seems like a good name. This is a stroke cap after all, while the stroke has rounded corners. But we specifically make this shape too, in general designs, using rounded rectangles and not strokes. This shape might be an important, big, and bold part of the layout. Calling it just a stroke cap won't be enough.

Stadium Shape



As a geometric figure.




A stadium is a geometric figure consisting of a rectangle with top and bottom lengths a whose ends are capped off with semicircles of radius r.

    Perhaps because of my primarily 3D design area of knowledge, I refer to this form and shape as a capsule - though that is most often applied to the 3D solid of similar form, it's also often used for the 2D silhouette of that same form. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_(geometry)

For me, it is a rounded rectangle just because the tool I would use is a rectangle and I would round it.



On a 3D model, I would use a sphere and move some vertexes.



But for non-graphic designers, I would call it a "Pill shape" Probably Penicillin pill shape.

    Obround is another alternative. See this question on math.stackexchange or the wiktionary definition.



    Two out of Wikipedia's five stadium references use obround instead.

      A technical word for this kind of shape is Oblong.



      See : https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/oblong

      • By definition, an oblong is more general term, not describing shape of the corners. It might work in some communities but be confusing in general use.

      • Quote: "If you stretch a circle until it becomes an oval" you get an oval, an ellipse.
        – Rafael
        Nov 13 at 18:32










      • @PeteKirkham – it does, but which one exactly describes the above shape? I think neither.
        – miroxlav
        Nov 13 at 20:40










      • Agree that oblong has very large meaning but it could be a word for this kind of shape. Also there is no specific word for every trapezoid maybe there is none for an elongated shape without perfectly rounded corner.

      For me, it is a rounded rectangle just because the tool I would use is a rectangle and I would round it.



      On a 3D model, I would use a sphere and move some vertexes.



      But for non-graphic designers, I would call it a "Pill shape" Probably Penicillin pill shape.

              Obround is another alternative. See this question on math.stackexchange or the wiktionary definition.



              Two out of Wikipedia's five stadium references use obround instead.

                      A technical word for this kind of shape is Oblong.

                      • By definition, an oblong is more general term, not describing shape of the corners. It might work in some communities but be confusing in general use.

                      • Agree that oblong has very large meaning but it could be a word for this kind of shape. Also there is no specific word for every trapezoid maybe there is none for an elongated shape without perfectly rounded corner.
