Drawing your own objects
|
| |
The fifth page of
'The Brainstorming Process'
sample consists of text, graphics and drawn objects.
Although NotateIt is a presentation aid and
not a 'painting'
program, it does have some really handy sketching
tools for making your own
images quickly.
 |
Straight lines can be drawn either with
the line tool on the toolbar or select
Draw | Straight Lines
from the menu bar. |
 |
You can preselect line width ... |
 |
... and colour before you draw. |
For perfectly straight vertical, horizontal or multiple
15 degree angled
lines, hold down the Shift
key as you draw.
 |
Use the arrow toggle button
if you need an arrowhead on your line.
Arrowheads will always be placed at the
finishing point.
|
 |
To draw the numbered 'bullets',
first draw a filled circle
in the size you need. Holding down
the Shift key as you draw
will give you a perfect circle.
|
|
|
If you need to change the colour of your
circle, select it
then use the Colour Picker tool
from the toolbar.
|
'Copy' the circle and 'paste' it into your working area
as many times as you need, then move the circles into
their final position (see Alignment).
Using the text tool, place a number into each circle.
You may need to move the numbers slightly so they are
in the centre of the circles. If you select a
number, you can 'nudge' it, one pixel at a time,
by using the cursor keys on your keyboard.
 |
When the numbers are positioned exactly,
'grouping' each number and its circle together
will make it easier for you to move them
around if you need to. |
Add your text and graphics and the page is complete.
