If a picture is selected, a panel called "Graphic" will be available. The "Position and Size" panel permits to move, resize and rotate any selected object or picture. With these panels it is possible to set a background either as a solid color, as a picture, gradient or patter, set transparency, etcetera.įor lines it is possible to set an arrow head on either end, decide if at corners lines should be rounded, mitered or bevelet, if the line caps are square or rounded, etcetera. The panels "Text" and "Paragraph" can be used to select font properties and alignment of text associated to an object (we will come back to this later).įor vector inserted graphics, panels to change the properties of the filling and the lines that form the object are available as "Area" and "Line" panels.
Once an object is selected, several panels are presented below. If no object is selected, it only display the "Insert Shape" panel The content displayed by Properties deck depends on the selected object. When selecting one or more objects, there are several actions available on the right click, like aligning, grouping, or even merging and subtracting.Īll those options will be presented in detail on the section devoted to Draw tools.īy default (extensions installed by the user may add new decks and/or panels), the sidebar in Draw feature four decks, each one with one or several panels. We will talk about the use of each tool on the corresponding section of this guide, but usually they are quite simple to use: just click and drag with the mouse to draw a rectangle, for example, or a line.
The button corresponding to that menu will reflect the selected tool. Several buttons on both, the toolbars and the sidebar are drop down menus offering several options.Īs shown on the screenshot, these menus have on the bottom a sort of "handler": grabbing the menu with the mouse from there and dragging it far from the parent button will create a new toolbar with those tools that can be left floating or anchor (or closed) as any other toolbar.
