57 | This section describes how you work in the diagram window. | |
58 | ||
59 | In addition, you may wish to refer to the following sections: | |
60 | ||
61 | \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt | |
62 | \item \helpref{How To}{howto} | |
63 | %\item \helpref{Getting started}{gettingstarted} | |
64 | \item \helpref{Using Menu Commands}{menucommands} | |
65 | \item \helpref{Using Toolbar Commands}{toolbarcommands} | |
66 | \end{itemize} | |
67 | ||
68 | When you first run OGL Studio, there is a menubar, a single | |
69 | toolbar with commonly-used functionality such as loading and | |
70 | saving, a project window to the left, and an MDI (Multiple Document | |
71 | Interface) area to the right, which will contain documents. | |
72 | ||
73 | \section{Creating a diagram} | |
74 | ||
75 | To create a new diagram, click on "File|New" or the New tool. | |
76 | ||
77 | A blank document and two new toolbars will appear. The first | |
78 | new toolbar is the \helpref{diagramming formatting toolbar}{diagramformattingtoolbar}, and contains | |
79 | icons and controls for: | |
80 | ||
81 | \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt | |
82 | \item alignment and size cloning; | |
83 | \item arrow toggling; | |
84 | \item point size; | |
85 | \item zoom level. | |
86 | \end{itemize} | |
87 | ||
88 | The second new toolbar is called the \helpref{diagram palette}{diagrampalette} and contains: | |
89 | ||
90 | \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt | |
91 | \item a pointer tool used for selecting, moving and sizing objects; | |
92 | \item a text tool used for editing text or creating new text boxes; | |
93 | \item a tool for each of the symbols. | |
94 | \end{itemize} | |
95 | ||
96 | \section{Basic editing} | |
97 | ||
98 | To add a symbol, left-click on the symbol in the diagram palette, | |
99 | and then left-click on the document. The currently selected | |
100 | tool will revert to the pointer tool, so to add another object, | |
101 | click on the symbol again, then on the document. | |
102 | ||
103 | To draw a line between two objects, right-drag between the two | |
104 | objects, starting at the attachment point area you wish to start the | |
105 | line with, and ending at another appropriate attachment point | |
106 | area. The initial ordering of the lines may not be correct (lines | |
107 | may overlap, for example) so to reorder lines on a particular | |
108 | side of a object, select a line, then left-drag the desired end to a new | |
109 | position (tip: keep within the object perimeter). Left-dragging the | |
110 | line end can also be used to change the attachment point of that | |
111 | end of the line, to a new side or vertex (depending on the object). | |
112 | ||
113 | To select or deselect a object, left click the object. To select | |
114 | several objects at once, keep the shift key pressed down when | |
115 | left-clicking, or left-drag a 'lassoo' around several objects. | |
116 | ||
117 | To delete a object or line, select it and press the Delete key, or use | |
118 | "Edit|Clear", or right-click on the object to show a menu and choose | |
119 | the "Cut" item. | |
120 | ||
121 | If you are deleting a object which has one ore more lines | |
122 | attached, the lines are deleted prior to the object deletion. | |
123 | ||
124 | Shapes can be rotated by right-clicking and selecting "Rotate | |
125 | clockwise" or "Rotate anticlockwise". | |
126 | ||
127 | Line arrows can be added (pointing in the direction in which | |
128 | you created the line) by selecting the line and pressing the | |
129 | "Toggle arrow" tool on the formatting toolbar. | |
130 | ||
131 | \section{Adding text} | |
132 | ||
133 | Select the text tool (on the symbol palette) and left-click on | |
134 | a object. If you click outside a object on the document, you are | |
135 | prompted to add a new free-floating text box. | |
136 | ||
137 | Alternatively, you can select a object and press Return (or | |
138 | select the "Edit|Edit label" menu item); or right-click and | |
139 | select "Edit label" from the object menu. | |
140 | ||
141 | Change the point size using the combobox on the formatting | |
142 | toolbar. | |
143 | ||
144 | \section{Aligning objects} | |
145 | ||
146 | Select several objects and click on an alignment tool on | |
147 | the formatting toolbar. The alignment will be done with | |
148 | respect to the first object you select. You can also copy | |
149 | the size of a object to other objects with the "Copy size" tool. | |
150 | ||
151 | \section{Adding segments to lines and straightening them} | |
152 | ||
153 | To make a line have more than one segment, select the line, | |
154 | then press the "New line point" tool. Create as many new control points | |
155 | (and therefore segments) as you like. Then arrange the points | |
156 | into a rough approximation of how they should be laid out | |
157 | horizontally and vertically. Click on "Straighten lines" to | |
158 | tidy up the layout. | |
159 | ||
160 | To delete a line control point, select the line and click on | |
161 | "Cut line point" tool. An arbitrary point will be deleted. | |
162 | ||
163 | \section{Undo/Redo} | |
164 | ||
165 | Every operation can be undone, and then redone, back until | |
166 | the time at which you last saved your document. Use | |
167 | "Edit|Undo" and "Edit|Redo"; or the shortcuts Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y. | |
168 | ||
169 | \section{Loading and saving files} | |
170 | ||
171 | Load and save files using the main toolbar, or "File|Open...", | |
172 | "File|Save", "File|Save As..." menu items. | |
173 | ||
174 | \section{Copy and paste} | |
175 | ||
176 | OGL Studio has a diagram clipboard, into which you can copy selections. You can then | |
177 | paste the contents of clipboard into the same or another diagram window. | |
178 | ||
179 | Use "Edit|Copy" (or the toolbar copy button) to copy the selection. Use "Edit|Cut" (or the toolbar cut button) to | |
180 | copy and then delete the selection. Use "Edit|Paste" (or the toolbar paste button) to copy the selection to | |
181 | the current diagram window. | |
182 | ||
183 | Under Windows, copy and cutting also copies the selection to the Windows clipboard into metafile (vector) | |
184 | format, and Windows bitmap format. Note that not all Windows applications can accept the vector format. | |
185 | If the application seems to be pasting the wrong format into the document, try using that application's | |
186 | "Edit|Paste Special..." menu item, if one exists. | |
187 | ||
188 | \section{Keyboard shortcuts} | |
189 | ||
190 | The following keyboard shortcuts are available. {\bf Note:} The OGL Studio menus indicate which shortcuts are | |
191 | available. | |
