A brief demo how to use pgfdeclareshape.
In pgf/TikZ, you can declare new shapes in addition to rectangles and circles using pgfdeclareshape.
However, TikZ can be frustrating and it took me quite some time to figure out how pgfdeclareshape is used correctly.
Maybe this example can be helpful and save you some time.
