•   Choose a black ink tile in the palette. 9 Apply a blue fill to the selected object as follows: •   Press Option (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows). •   Open the Fill Inks palette in the Toolbox. •   Choose a blue color tile in the palette. 10   From the EasyShapes tools palette, select the Diamond tool and create a diamond shape just below the oval shape. 11   With the diamond shape still selected, type “Decision.” Press Esc. The diamond object should still be selected. 12   Choose Text > Justification > Center and Text > Justification > Vertical Center to properly align the text. Next you need to connect the flowchart elements. To do this, you can simply draw a line using the techniques described in a previous sec- tion; however, Canvas contains a more elegant solution — we named it for what it does — Smart Lines. 13   Open the Smart Lines palette and press the Line tool in the Toolbox. Drag the pointer to the Smart Lines tool and another tool palette will open. Drag the Smart Lines palette away from the Tool- box so it’s floating. 14   Connect “Start Procedure” to “Decision” by selecting the Basic Smart Line tool and dragging from the bottom center of the “Start Procedure” object to the top center of “Decision.” Smart Lines automatically snap to the center of the object. 15   Connect “Decision” to “Step 1” by selecting the Kinked Smart Lines tool and dragging from the side of “Decision” to the top of “Step 1.” 16   Repeat the procedure to connect “Decision” to “Process 2.” Pen ink Fill ink Smart Lines palette Basic Smart Line tool Kinked Smart Line tool
