1-3 Graphic Object bar
The Graphic Object bar contains the tools to create the graphic objects, which
can be placed on pages within CX-Supervisor.
In general terms, the operation of the Graphic Object bar is simple. With a
page active the Graphic Object bar is active, and operation involves merely
clicking on the desired tool to select it, and then clicking and dragging to the
appropriate point in the page. This is not the case with the text, polygon or
polyline tools, however the operation of these tools is fully discussed in
chapter 4, Objects.
Moving the mouse pointer over any of the tools causes CX-Supervisor to
display a tooltip to describe the tool.
By default, the cursor returns to Selection mode (an arrow) after drawing an
object. If you would prefer it to remain in its current state, clear the Return to
select mode checkbox in the Editing Preferences dialog box, which is found on
the CX-Supervisor file menu.
For further details concerning the tools contained within the Graphic Object
bar refer to chapter 4, Objects.
