Chapter 7: The Title Editor 105
The second button, which is available whenever a
group object is selected, separates the group into its
constituent objects.
Although it is possible to “group groups”, grouping is
always just one level deep – ungrouping a supergroup
will result in all the constituent objects being
individuals again.
The next button opens a pop-out menu of 11 operations
that apply only to groups. The first six let you align a
set of objects along any one of their four edges or either
of their two mid-lines. The next pair of commands
provides for spacing the objects at equal intervals in
either the vertical or horizontal directions, and the final
three resize the objects so that they have equal width,
equal height, or both. All of these commands are
particularly useful in menu creation, since you
generally want menu buttons to be laid out in a regular
fashion.
The final object layout button opens
another pop-out menu, this one concerned
with object justification. The nine options
here are in a graphical form resembling a
tic-tac-toe board. Clicking one of the nine
areas moves the object to the
corresponding corner of the screen (as defined by the
“text-safe” area delimited by red dashed lines) , or to
the centre.
