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 Crop Area tool selects
specified areas for printing or
export.

The Slice tool divides artwork
into separate web images.

The Slice Selection tool selects
web slices.

The Eraser tool erases any
area of the object over which
you drag
