To add arrowheads to a line, make sure the Line Tool or Select Tool is selected, and
then double-click on the middle of the line. A dialog will pop up with options to add
arrowheads to one or both ends of the line.

Moving and Copying Text and Lines

You can move, copy, or delete a single text overlay or line or a group of overlays and
lines within an image. You can also copy and paste between images.

First, you must select the object(s). Click on the Select Tool button. To select a single
overlay or line, click on it. To select multiple objects, either drag a box around them
or hold down the Shift key and click on them individually. When dragging to select a
group of objects, make sure that you completely surround all the objects to be
selected.

Each selected overlay/line will have a green border.

To move the selected object(s), position the cursor over the selection and drag.

To copy within an image, hold down the Ctrl key while dragging the selected
object(s). The copy will be created and dragged to the new position.

To delete the selected object(s), press the Delete key.

To copy between images, click on the Copy to Clipboard button, then open or
select the image you want to copy to and click on the Paste from Clipboard
button. The copied object(s) will be pasted into the new image in the same
relative position they were copied from.

Note:

If you are pasting into an image with a different pixel size (i.e., resolution), you
will receive a message that the placement of the copy may not be exact. Click on
OK to complete the paste, then position the pasted objects manually.

Viewing Previously Created Text Overlays/Lines

Previously created text overlays and lines will appear on the image when you open
the Text Overlay Tools toolbar.

If you have concealed all overlays using the Hide Overlays command (section 3.3,
Showing and Hiding Overlays
), click on any of the buttons on the Text Overlay Tools
toolbar to redisplay the text.
