Chapter 1: Overview Layout area The rectangle centered in the Canvas document window is the Layout area. The white space around the Layout area is known as the pasteboard and is additional working space where you can place objects before using them in an illustration. Objects on the pasteboard are saved with the document, but they are not printed. The Layout area represents different things in the different Canvas document types. Illustration: A page, called a “sheet,” with layers. Publication: A single-sided page or two facing pages with layers. Presentation: A “slide” with layers. Animation: A frame of an animation. If you select “onion-skinning”, you can see objects on adjacent frames (see All about onion skinning). You can change the color of the Layout area to represent the color of tinted paper. To set the Layout area color: 1. Choose Layout | Document Setup. 2. Select a color from the Paper color popup palette. Document navigation controls A pop-up menu appears below the document window. Open this menu to move through a document. About Document Layout Pages, layers, and master pages are a common element of all types of Canvas documents. Pages All Canvas documents can contain multiple pages. Here, “pages” is used as a general term for elements that make up a document. Publications can have single or facing pages. Illustrations have pages, called “sheets,” which are single-sided. Presentations have pages, called “slides,” which can be displayed in sequence as “slide shows.” Animations have pages, called “frames,” which form animation sequences for animated GIF files. In the Document Layout palette, pages are at the top level of the layout hierarchy, followed by layers, groups, and objects. The Layout area in Canvas represents a document page. Page and layer controls are located at the bottom of the screen. The current page is shown in the Page menu and the Page Navigator palette. 5
