═══ 1. Toolbar ═══

Use the Toolbar to enable the functions needed to create new designs. The 
Toolbar is automatically visible when the Graphics component is active. Use 
Hide Toolbar from the View menu pulldown to prevent it from being displayed 
within the Graphics component. 


═══ 2. Selection ═══

Use the Selection pointer as a "stop" button when using tools from the Toolbar. 
After you have completed a drawing, click on Select to change your mouse 
pointer from the drawing mode to back its original function. 


═══ 3. Line ═══

Use Line to create an object which is defined by two endpoints. To draw a line 
object: 

   1. Click on the Line icon on theToolbar. 
   2. Click mouse button 2 at any point in your document to set the first 
      endpoint. 
   3. Drag the mouse pointer the desired length of your line. 
   4. Click mouse button 2 again to set the second endpoint. 

 Lines are created with a default set of characteristics such as line color, 
 line style, line width, and shadow style. 

 Note:  Holding the SHIFT key down while positioning the second endpoint will 
        constrain the line to be vertical or horizontal (depending on where the 
        cursor is placed).


═══ 4. Polyline ═══

Use Polyline to create an object which is a set of connected points. The first 
point may or may not be even with the endpoint,  making the finished polyline 
shape a closed polygon. Polyline appears on the Toolbar as three connected line 
segments. Polyines are created with a default set of  characteristics including 
line color, line style, line width, fill color, fill style, and shadow style. 

 To draw a polyline: 

   1. Click on the Polyline icon on the Toolbar. 
   2. Click mouse button 2 at any point in your document. 
   3. Drag the mouse pointer the desired length of  a side of the shape. 
   4. Click mouse button 2 again to set the second endpoint. 
   5. Repeat the click-and-drag action until you have drawn the shape you want. 
   6. Double-click mouse button 2 to end drawing. 

 Note:  Specifying a fill style for a non-closed polyline does not cause a line 
        to automatically be drawn connecting the first and last points of your shape.


═══ 5. Rectangle ═══

Use Rectangle to create an object which is a four-sided, closed polygon. The 
Rectangle tool appears as on the Toolbar as a hollow box.  When initially 
created, a rectangle's edges are horizontal and vertical, but the shape can be 
changed using the Rotate and Scale functions. The rectangle is created with a 
default set of characteristics including line color, line style, line width, 
fill color, fill style, and shadow style.

   2. Click mouse button 2 to set the first corner. 
   3. Drag the mouse pointer to the desired rectangular shape. 
   4. Click mouse button 2 to set the second corner. 

 Note:  Holding the SHIFT key down while positioning the second corner forces 
        the new rectangle shape to be a square.


═══ 6. Box ═══

Use Box to create an object which is identical to a rectangle, except that it 
includes a solid fill, rounded corners, and a shadow.  The box is created with 
a default set of characteristics including line color, line style, line width, 
fill color, fill style, and shadow style. 

To draw a box: 

   1. Click on the Box icon on the Toolbar. 
   2. Click mouse button 2 to set the first corner. 
   3. Drag the mouse pointer to the desired box shape. 
   4. Click mouse button 2 to set the second corner. 


═══ 7. Ellipse ═══

Use Ellipse to create an object which is an oval or circle. The Ellipse icon 
appears on the Toolbar as a hollow oval. The ellipse is created with a default 
set of characteristics, including line color, line style, line width, fill 
color, fill style, and shadow style. When initially created, an ellipse's axes 
are horizontal and vertical, but the shape can be changed using the Rotate and 
Scale functions. 

To draw an ellipse: 

   1. Click on the Ellipse icon on the Toolbar. 
   2. Click mouse button 2 to set the center point of your shape. 
   3. Drag the mouse pointer to the desired elliptical shape. 
   4. Click mouse button 2 to set the end point. 

 Note:  Holding the SHIFT key down while positioning the second point forces 
        the new ellipse shape to be a circle.


═══ 8. Arc ═══

Use Arc to create an object which is a section of an ellipse or circle. When 
initially created, it is a section of a circle, but the shape can be changed 
using the Rotate and Scale functions. The Arc tool appears as the semi-circle 
shape on the Tollbar.  An arc is created with a default set of characteristics 
include line color, line style, line width, fill color, fill style, shadow 
style, and arc closing. 

To create an arc: 

   1. Click on the Arc icon on the Toolbar. 
   2. Click mouse button 2 to set the center point of your shape. 
   3. Drag the mouse pointer to the desired width of the arc shape. 
   4. Click mouse button 2 to set the first end point. 
   5. Drag the mouse pointer to the desired angle of the arc. 
   6. Click mouse button 2 to set the second end point. 

 Note:  If Arc Closing is set to None and a fill pattern is specified, a pie 
        shape is filled with the pattern, but the straight pie sides are not 
        drawn in (in a pie chart, for example).

Note:  No bitmaps can be added into your background when this option is selected.


═══ 15. Tile bitmap ═══

Choose Tile bitmap to enable your Graphics component to accept a bitmap from 
the OS/2 system as a background. Tile bitmap causes the bitmap you have chosen 
to appear as tiled within your background. You may create your Graphics objects 
over this bitmap. 


═══ 16. Stretch bitmap ═══

Choose Stretch bitmap to enable your Graphics component to accept a bitmap from 
the OS/2 system as a background. Stretch bitmap causes the bitmap you have 
chosen to appear as as a single image fit to the size of your background. You 
may create your Graphics objects over this bitmap. 


═══ 17. Refresh ═══

Use Refresh to redraw the object you have most recently created within the 
Graphics component. 


═══ 18. Hide Toolbar ═══

═══ 27. General Help ═══

The Graphics component is a drawing tool you can use to design line drawings, 
shaded areas, and various types of bar graphs. The Graphics component does not 
allow you to edit bitmaps or other scalable photographic images.  These require 
the OpenDoc Multimedia component Image Viewer. 

The Toolbar provides the functions needed to create new designs. It is 
automatically visible when the Graphics component is active, but can be hidden 
from display. The Toolbar drawing options are: 

     Line 
     Polyline 
     Rectangle 
     Box 
     Ellipse 
     Arc 

 Once you have created an object, use the pulldown menu and the popup menus 
 (accessible by clicking on a selected Graphics object) to edit the drawing.
