\chapter{Working with the diagram window}\label{schedule}%
\setheader{{\it CHAPTER \thechapter}}{}{}{}{}{{\it CHAPTER \thechapter}}%
\setfooter{\thepage}{}{}{}{}{\thepage}%

This section describes how you work in the diagram window.

In addition, you may wish to refer to the following sections:

\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item \helpref{How To}{howto}
%\item \helpref{Getting started}{gettingstarted}
\item \helpref{Using Menu Commands}{menucommands}
\item \helpref{Using Toolbar Commands}{toolbarcommands}
\end{itemize}

When you first run OGL Studio, there is a menubar, a single
toolbar with commonly-used functionality such as loading and
saving, a project window to the left, and an MDI (Multiple Document
Interface) area to the right, which will contain documents.

\section{Creating a diagram}

To create a new diagram, click on "File|New" or the New tool.

A blank document and two new toolbars will appear. The first
new toolbar is the \helpref{diagramming formatting toolbar}{diagramformattingtoolbar}, and contains
icons and controls for:

\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item alignment and size cloning;
\item arrow toggling;
\item point size;
\item zoom level.
\end{itemize}

The second new toolbar is called the \helpref{diagram palette}{diagrampalette} and contains:

\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
\item a pointer tool used for selecting, moving and sizing objects;
\item a text tool used for editing text or creating new text boxes;
\item a tool for each of the symbols.
\end{itemize}

\section{Basic editing}

To add a symbol, left-click on the symbol in the diagram palette,
and then left-click on the document. The currently selected
tool will revert to the pointer tool, so to add another object,
click on the symbol again, then on the document.

To draw a line between two objects, right-drag between the two
objects, starting at the attachment point area you wish to start the
line with, and ending at another appropriate attachment point
area. The initial ordering of the lines may not be correct (lines
may overlap, for example) so to reorder lines on a particular
side of a object, select a line, then left-drag the desired end to a new
position (tip: keep within the object perimeter). Left-dragging the
line end can also be used to change the attachment point of that
end of the line, to a new side or vertex (depending on the object).

To select or deselect a object, left click the object. To select
several objects at once, keep the shift key pressed down when
left-clicking, or left-drag a 'lassoo' around several objects.

To delete a object or line, select it and press the Delete key, or use
"Edit|Clear", or right-click on the object to show a menu and choose
the "Cut" item.

If you are deleting a object which has one ore more lines
attached, the lines are deleted prior to the object deletion.

Shapes can be rotated by right-clicking and selecting "Rotate
clockwise" or "Rotate anticlockwise".

Line arrows can be added (pointing in the direction in which
you created the line) by selecting the line and pressing the
"Toggle arrow" tool on the formatting toolbar.

\section{Adding text}

Select the text tool (on the symbol palette) and left-click on
a object. If you click outside a object on the document, you are
prompted to add a new free-floating text box.

Alternatively, you can select a object and press Return (or
select the "Edit|Edit label" menu item); or right-click and
select "Edit label" from the object menu.

Change the point size using the combobox on the formatting
toolbar.

\section{Aligning objects}

Select several objects and click on an alignment tool on
the formatting toolbar. The alignment will be done with
respect to the first object you select. You can also copy
the size of a object to other objects with the "Copy size" tool.

\section{Adding segments to lines and straightening them}

To make a line have more than one segment, select the line,
then press the "New line point" tool. Create as many new control points
(and therefore segments) as you like. Then arrange the points
into a rough approximation of how they should be laid out
horizontally and vertically. Click on "Straighten lines" to
tidy up the layout.

To delete a line control point, select the line and click on
"Cut line point" tool. An arbitrary point will be deleted.

\section{Undo/Redo}

Every operation can be undone, and then redone, back until
the time at which you last saved your document. Use
"Edit|Undo" and "Edit|Redo"; or the shortcuts Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y.

\section{Loading and saving files}

Load and save files using the main toolbar, or "File|Open...",
"File|Save", "File|Save As..." menu items.

\section{Copy and paste}

OGL Studio has a diagram clipboard, into which you can copy selections. You can then
paste the contents of clipboard into the same or another diagram window.

Use "Edit|Copy" (or the toolbar copy button) to copy the selection. Use "Edit|Cut" (or the toolbar cut button) to
copy and then delete the selection. Use "Edit|Paste" (or the toolbar paste button) to copy the selection to
the current diagram window.

Under Windows, copy and cutting also copies the selection to the Windows clipboard into metafile (vector)
format, and Windows bitmap format. Note that not all Windows applications can accept the vector format.
If the application seems to be pasting the wrong format into the document, try using that application's
"Edit|Paste Special..." menu item, if one exists.

\section{Keyboard shortcuts}

The following keyboard shortcuts are available. {\bf Note:} The OGL Studio menus indicate which shortcuts are
available.
