CG INFINITY: CHAPTER TWO 27
Note: To resize an object, you can click a button or enter the new dimensions for
the object in the Width and Height spin boxes on the Attribute toolbar. (These spin
boxes are useful when you need to make accurate adjustments to an object’s size
such as to 1/10th of a pixel.)
Using the Envelope tool
The Envelope tool differs from the Object tool in that it works by provid-
ing a shape which you fit an object into, rather than having an object define
its own shape. This is particularly useful for text objects whose shapes
take their form from a particular font. By changing the envelope of the
text, you have much greater flexibility over how the text is warped and
distorted. For example, you could make the text appear as a wave or have
it bend in three dimensions.
To change the envelope of an object:
1.
Create a text object and then select the Envelope tool from the Tool
panel. A bounding box appears around the text with nodes on the sides
and corners.
2.
Select a method to control the envelope from the Envelope method
combo box on the Attribute toolbar. You can choose between four
types:
Fit Shape , Fit Length , Horizontal and Vertical . (The result of
each of these methods may differ depending on the size and font of
your text.)
