Slicing and cutting tool gallery
Illustrator provides the following tools for slicing and cutting objects:
The Line Graph tool creates
graphs that use points to
represent one or more sets of
values, with a different line
joining the points in each set.
This type of graph is often
used to show the trend of one
or more subjects over a
period of time. The Area Graph tool creates
graphs that are similar to
line graphs, but emphasizes
totals as well as changes in
values. The Scatter Graph tool
creates graphs that plot data
points as paired sets of
coordinates along the x and y
axes. Scatter graphs are
useful for identifying
patterns or trends in data.
They also can indicate
whether variables affect one
another. The Pie Graph tool creates
circular graphs whose
wedges represent the relative
percentages of the values
compared.
The Radar Graph tool
creates graphs that compare
sets of values at given points
in time or in particular
categories, and is displayed
in a circular format. This
type of graph is also called a
web graph.
The Slice tool divides
artwork into separate web
images. The Slice Selection tool
(Shift-K) selects web slices.
The Eraser tool (Shift-E)
erases any area of the object
over which you drag.
The Scissors tool (C) cuts
paths at specified points.
