played. To modify the color, use the mouse to drag the sliders in one or more of the three color definition
boxes, or change the value in the color definition entry box(es). Alternatively, click on the left or right arrow
buttons found below the sliders to decrement or increment the values for each of the three
primary colors by 3 with each click, until the minimum or maximum value has been reached for all colors.
The result of each change is reflected in the color sample box. Objects previously drawn with the selected
color index can be redrawn using the new color by clicking on the OK or Apply button, and then clicking on
Redraw. Use of the Apply button allows the user to define colors for additional color indexes without leav-
ing the Edit Colors window. Modifications to color indexes 32 through 95 can be saved permanently by
clicking the Save button.
Alternatively, pre-defined colors can be selected from the listbox which occupies the left side of the main
display portion of the Edit Colors window. Use the scrollbar on the list box to view available colors and their
names; click on the desired entry to select it.
4.2.5.1.5 Setting the Line Attributes
When the Lines tab in the Settings window lets you set the desired width and style of a line or the edge of
an object. This display is used to select from six widths and five styles. To select a style for a line or edge
of an object, click on the example or on the indicator box next to the example. The indicator box next to the
selected style or width is filled in, and the selected line(s) or edge of the selected object(s) will reflect the
change. Only one edge style and one edge width can be in effect at any one time. These attributes will
remain in effect for all subsequent objects, until a different selection is made.
4.2.5.1.6 Setting the Text Attributes
The Text tab of the Settings window lets you control the following characteristics (attributes) of the text
objects: size, font, direction, alignment and text color.
Text Size is changed by moving the Size slider. Move it to the right to increase the font size, or move it left
to decrease the font size.
Text Font is changed using the Font drop-down combo box. Click on the drop-down arrow to display a
drop-down menu of available fonts. Click on a font name in the list to select it. The selected name will be
displayed in the text box portion of the combo box.
Text Direction (Vertical or Horizontal) is changed by clicking on the appropriate direction arrow (right arrow
or down arrow) labelled dir. The arrows indicate in which direction the selected text is to be displayed.
The Text Alignment setting determines the offset of the Text object, relative to the point chosen for position-
ing the Text object in the model or graphic. By default, a text object is left aligned; that is, when text is
entered, the point selected to position the object is the starting point for the text and as text is entered, it
flows to the right. A grid of nine position points allows you specify where the original positioning point will
remain, relative to the text object. The selected alignment setting remains in effect for all text objects cre-
ated subsequently, until a different selection is made.
To edit the content of existing text, double-click on the text object, then make the changes in the text entry
box which appears in the status bar.
Use the Expand Entry button on the status bar for editing text with multiple lines.
✎ Note
Modifications to colors 32 through 95 will take effect only in those
Operator Windows which are opened after the new color
configuration has been saved.
