CONTROL PANEL A Windows system program that lets you change features of the operating system, such as settings for the display, key- board, and networking. In Mac OS 9, you can access these settings individually by choosing Apple > Control Panels. For Mac OS X, see “system preferences,” page G.771. CORNER POINT An anchor point where path segments meet at an angle, rather than with a smooth transition. CROP To trim an image to a specified rectangular area. CROP MARKS Small lines placed at the page edge that mark where printed material will be trimmed. CURRENT INK The ink, or color, that applies to new objects you draw, set by applying an ink when no objects are selected. This set- ting does not change when you set the ink for a specific object; e.g., if you set the current fill ink to red, new objects you draw will be filled with red. You can then change an object’s color from red to green; however, the current ink remains red. CURRENT STROKE The stroke that applies to new objects you draw, set by applying a stroke when no objects are selected; this setting does not change when you set the stroke for a specific object. For example, if you set the current stroke to a 5-point pen, new objects you draw will have a 5-point pen width; if you then change an object’s stroke from 5 to 10 points, however, the current pen width remains 5 points.
