You can “Layer”
objects to create
3D effects.
The Drawing Module is used to create
objects using geometric shapes and
patterns. The module makes
coordinated use of the Tool Bar and
the Accents Palette to create shapes
and fill them with colors, patterns,
wallpaper, or gradients. All text on
this page is displayed in text boxes.
All text features (size, style, font,
etc.) are available in these boxes.
Objects are manipulated using
Handles. Grabbing a dot allows you to
resize the object. Grabbing the object
itself allows you to move it. An object
must be selected (so the handles appear)
before it can be changed. Once the
object is selected, you can change the
Fill color or pattern (inside the object)
or the Pen color or pattern (the line
around the outside of the object).
Clippings are also
considered objects and can
be manipulated using the
handles. You cannot apply
colors, patterns, or gradients
to Clippings, you can only
resize and move them.
The Lines tab allows you to
resize the thickness of lines (and
Pens) and add arrows. All of the
arrows on this page were created
using the Lines Palette.
