Move
----
Rectangular block can be cut-out and moved elsewhere on the page;
set in place with a left-click. This is not a multiple copy, it
is a one-off relocation and a gap is left where you cut the block.
Copy
----
As with Move, but instead of cutting the area out, it is copied.
Set in place with a left mouse-click. Multiple copies can be put
into the picture - just locate and left-click as required.
Smear
-----
Rectangle to define the block, which is then copied. You may
either left-click it into place (as often as you wish), or smear
with it - in effect, using the block as a patterned paint-brush
while holding down the left mouse-button.
Rotate
------
Define a rectangular block, and press "HELP". Enter the required
angle of rotation, and hit "RETURN". The block is copied, not
cut out, and can be set on page with a left-click. Once a figure
has been set in the Rotate control box, you can continue to use it
without having to recall the control box each time.
Mirror
------
The eighth box from the left on the Icon-bar sets the mirroring.
The two 'shadowed' boxes in the selector allow you to relocate the
mirror-image anywhere on the page, but all other options place the
image automatically. Left-click and define the rectangular area
to be mirrored, a second left-click marks the end of the area and
triggers the mirroring.
Distort
-------
Define a rectangular block. When you click the left mouse button
to finish your definition, the rectangular frame disappears. You
must then place four points on the page (they show as squares) -
these will be the corners of the block in its new distorted form.
The order in which you place these corners is important; for
instance a rearrangement of their sequence to 1,3,2,4 would give
an image with a twist in it. You can see the new block shape, as
the corner-squares are joined with lines on screen. You may at
this time move any of the squares to adjust the block's new shape
and size. When satisfied, move the pointer off the squares (to
anywhere else, it doesen't matter). Click and hold down the left
mouse button, then click the right mouse button and the distorted
block-image will appear. It is set into the picture. Release the
left mouse button. A right-click brings back the floating menu.
Bend
----
Define a block with left-click and rectangle. In the seventh box
from the right on the Icon-bar, you can set the bending: whether
curved or angled, tilted or kinked, vertical or horizontal, and
its severity. Curve Frequency sets how many ripples you want to
occur across the width or height of your selected block. Move the
new image into position and left-click to fix it into the picture.
