D 7 Editing and Changing Display Objects

D 7.1 Changing the size of a graphic object

Changing the size without altering the height-to-width ratio
→ Select → place cursor arrow on a corner handle,
→ Press mouse button and drag,
→ Frame gets larger or smaller → Release mouse button,
→ Graphic item/symbol is redisplayed.
Changing height or width
→ Select → place cursor arrow on an edge-center handle → Press mouse button and
drag,
→ Frame gets larger or smaller → Release mouse button,
→ Graphic item/symbol is redisplayed.
Each graphic object—-be it a static, dynamic, combined object or a macro—is displayed with its
attributes at its assigned position. When selected, a frame with marks (handles) at the corners
and edge center points surrounds the graphic item. (Exceptions are horizontal or vertical lines, on
which only the two end points are marked). A cursor click outside this rectangle deselects the
graphic object, and a click within the rectangle selects it again. If one clicks one of the corner
handles of the frame, the cursor arrow changes. With the mouse button depressed, the frame can
then be enlarged or reduced while maintaining its height-to-width ratio. After releasing the button,
the graphic object is displayed within the new frame. Clicking on an edge-center handle allows
the height or width of the object to be changed independently.

D 7.2 Move a graphic object

→ Select → Cursor arrow into the center → Press mouse button and drag.
After clicking on a graphic object, its frame is displayed. By positioning the cursor inside the frame
and keeping the left-hand mouse button depressed, the cursor changes into a cross. While the
mouse button is depressed, the rectangular outline of the graphic can be moved about the entire
draw area. On releasing the mouse button, the item is redisplayed at the new position.
When moving several graphic objects (see page D-76, Selecting multiple graphic objects), a
common frame surrounds them all. They can then be moved in exactly the same manner as a
single graphic object.
