Drawing 5-3
What are objects?
A drawing is made of objects—separate elements such as rectangles, lines,
and text, as well as paint and spreadsheet frames. Think of a drawing as a
collage in which you create and arrange objects of various shapes, sizes, and
colors. When you overlap objects, the hidden parts still exist.
Every object has a border (which you can hide) and a fill (the area within
the border).
Another type of object is a frame. Most of what you can do with an object
you can do with a frame as well.
Using the drawing tools
You use the tools in the tool panel to create, select, move, resize, and reshape
objects. (If you don’t see the tool panel, start by choosing Show Tools from the
Window menu.)
