A straight shaper is basically a machine that has a shape template laid in the bottom of it, and two blades at the side. You lay the piece of cane ober the top of the template, lower a clamping mechanism over the top of the cane to hold it in place ( and it usually puts a centre score on the cane so you can fold it when you finish, You then grab a handle to which is attached the blade, and move the blade back and forth to shape the cane. There are various makers who make them. I use a Reeds n Stuff machine. They also make a wide range of shaper templates (forms) that can be interchangeable depending on your preference.
