Modifying individual graphic objects LDW provides tools for you to select individual objects in a graphics window such as a text string or a bar in a graph. After you have selected one or more objects, you can move them, delete them or change their appearance in a variety of ways. In this section we will first describe how to select objects and then describe how you can modify them. Note that any changes you make to individual graphic objects are temporary and that they will be lost when you close the window. Selecting Objects to Modify LDW provides several standard tools that let you select objects to modify. The simplest way to select an object is to click on it with your mouse. LDW will mark the object you have selected with small black squares at the four corners of the object. You can also select objects by dragging a selecting rectangle around them. Modifying Selected Objects Once you have selected the object(s) you want to modify, there are many things you can do to them. You can: ! Move them, ! Delete them, ! Copy them, ! Change their color, ! Change their text, or ! Change their text font. The following paragraphs tell you how to make each of these changes. Moving Objects. You can move selected objects by simply positioning your mouse over them and dragging them. LDW will move the selected objects as a group. Deleting Objects. You can delete the objects you have selected by using the Edit::Cut option. When you select this option, LDW 8-60 Section 8 -- Using LDW 3: Reviewing Results
copies the selected objects to the clipboard where you can retrieve them using the Edit::Paste option. Copying Objects. You can copy the objects you have selected using the Edit::Copy option. This option has the same effect as the Edit::Cut option, except that the original objects are not deleted from the window. You can retrieve a copy of the copied objects using the Edit::Paste option. Changing An Object's Color. Two options let you change the color of an object. You can also change the color of a text object by changing its text font as described below. You can change the color of the outline of an object (or the color of all of a text object) with the Edit::Graphic Selection::Change Pen Color option. When you select this option, LDW shows you the standard Windows color changing dialog box shown in Figure 8-52. You can change the interior of an object such as a bar in a bar graph using the Edit::Graphic Selection::Change Brush Color option. When you select this option, LDW again shows you the standard dialog box pictured above. When you select a color, the interiors of the selected objects will all change to that color. This option does not affect text or line objects. Changing Text. If you have selected a single text object, you can change its text with the Edit::Graphic Selection::Edit Text option. When you select the option you will be shown a data entry dialog box where you can make your changes. Changing Text Fonts. You can change the font of text objects you have selected using the Edit::Change Text Font option. When you select this option, the standard Windows font selection dialog box shown in Figure 8-53 appears. Section 8 -- Using LDW 3: Reviewing Results 8-61
