Using Drawing Modes

Drawing uses the draw mode to
calculate, on a pixel–by–pixel
basis, the tone that appears.
The inverse of a tone is its
opposite. The inverse of black is
white; the inverse of orange is
blue.
4. Click on Apply to apply your changes to selected graphic objects.
5. Click on Close to close the dialog box.
The draw mode controls the prevailing display tone for overlapping
objects or objects on the white page. This is an advanced feature that you
can experiment with for special graphic effects. You can set the draw
mode in the Area Attributes dialog box.
In the normal draw mode, this overlapping white square does not change
according to what it covers.
In the inverse draw mode, the white square changes to black over the
white page, and white over the black square behind it.
