The controls of the “Edit Dialog” provide the following functions:
l The Drop-down List Box shows the set of palettes that are available. When
you select the name of a palette from the list, the graphic objects that are in
that palette are presented in the palette display area of the dialog.
l The Palette shows the graphic objects that are in the current palette with an
icon that depicts each graphic object's type (meter, button, etc.). When you
click any of the icons in the palette, a graphic object of the corresponding type
becomes selected for insertion. While the Graphic Editor is in “insert mode,” if
you click in an open area of the display window, an instance of the selected
graphic object is inserted into the graphic display.
l The Information Area shows the name and size of the graphic object that is
currently selected.
l The Cut button causes the currently selected graphic object(s) to be removed
from the graphic display and saved to a buffer (i.e., an internal clipboard),
replacing any existing contents of the buffer.
l The Copy button causes the currently selected graphic object(s) to be copied
to the buffer, replacing any existing contents.
l The Paste button causes the content of the clipboard to be inserted into the
upper left corner of the graphic display. The pasted graphic objects can then
be moved to the desired location in the display.
l The Properties button causes the Properties Sheet for the currently selected
graphic object to be shown. See
Property Sheet on page 200.
l
The Layout button causes the “Layout Dialog” to become visible.
