Mastering basic techniques

When working on a graphic display, certain actions and techniques are
used frequently. Knowing how to perform these actions can save you
time.

Using the context menu

No matter where you are in the Graphic Display editor, you can open
a context menu by clicking the right mouse button. The items on the
menu depend on the cursor’s location. For example, when you right-
click on an object, the menu contains items relevant to that object.

Toolbar

Contains buttons for commonly used menu items. The
figure on the previous page shows only one toolbar but
there are several, including toolbars for drawing tools,
line and fill colors, and fill patterns. You can hide or
show toolbars using the View menu, and you can move
the toolbars anywhere on the screen.

For more information about toolbars, see page 11-4

Drawing area

Is the area for creating graphic displays. Change the
background color of this area in the Display Settings
dialog box. For details, see page 11-22.

Status bar

Describes the action to be performed by the selected
menu item or button. The status bar also displays the x
and y coordinates, name, width, and height of the
selected object.
