The Tools
On the left side of the interface, there is a toolbar offering the following
functions:
Icon Function
Selects, moves and edits the clicked object.
Inserts text.
Inserts text and attaches it to the object.
Draws a rectangle.
Draws a rectangle with rounded corners.
Draws an ellipse.
Draws a line.
Creates a connection between two objects.
Creates an elbow connection.
Draws a polygon; the corners are created by mouse
clicks.
Enables freehand drawing.
Decorates the clicked object with a frame.
Adds a link to the clicked object.
The last function listed in the table needs some explaining. In order
to turn a figure, for instance a circle, into a so-called hot spot, that
is, to supply it with a link, click on the URL icon in the toolbox and
then mark the desired object. A small input window opens in which
you can enter the URL or page name. When you leave the window
by simply clicking on another spot in the drawing window, the path
of the link will appear in red. However, this label is no longer visible
in the page view.
Note: If you wish to edit or remove the link, you must once again
activate the icon and then click on the red path. In the input box, you
can edit the link. This applies to text boxes as well.
