****SECOND CONTROL PANEL****
SYMMETRICAL CURVED LINE
On the picture-screen, left-click and pull out a rectangular frame.
Left-click again to finish the rectangular frame, which now looks
like the icon for this function, but as yet without a curve. Left-
click on any one of the little markers which are halfway along each
side of the frame. This will be the mid-point of the curved line.
Now right-click to fix the curve and clear away the frame (a click
anywhere will do); same again to return to the control-screen. If
you change your mind about fixing the curve, left-click instead
of right. You can then select another midpoint or return to the
control-screen.
CURVED LINE
As above, but only one side of it. Markers are at the frame's
corners.
PARALLELOGRAM
Left-click on the first corner, and draw line out to locate the
next corner, left-click again, and swing the outline open to give
the parallelogram its required width and height. Fix with a left-
click. Right-click to return to control-screen.
TRIANGLE
Left-click to locate the first corner, pull out line, left-click
for the second corner, and again for the third. Right-click to
return to control-screen.
STRAIGHT LINE
Left-click for starting point, again for finish; right-click to
return to control-screen.
POLYLINE
Left-click for the first and subsequent points, then right-click to
locate the end of the line. Another right-click returns you to the
control-screen.
POLY-SHAPE (CLOSED POLYLINE)
Drawn like the polyline, the difference being that this is a shape
rather than just a line, and so can be created as filled, bordered/
borderless, or shadowed. If the first and last points of the shape
do not coincide, the program draws an extra line to link them and
thus make a closed shape. Right-click to control-screen.
RECTANGLE (SQUARE CORNERED)
Left-click to start, pull out the rectangle, left-click to finish.
Right-click to control-screen.
RECTANGLE (ROUND CORNERED)
As above, but with rounding-off of its corners.
POLYGON (REGULAR)
A selector box appears in which to indicate the number of sides
the polygon is to have; set it and click on OK. Now left-click on
the location for the polygon's centre. Pull out the circular frame
to the required size, then left-click and the polygon will appear,
replacing the frame - it is drawn inside the circumference of the
frame. Right-click to return to the control-screen.
