To create a graphic style from scratch:
1. In the Styles tab, navigate to a category in which you want to create
your new style.
2. Click Add New Graphic Style.
3. From the dialog, configure attributes via flyout, drop-down list, dialog,
or input box.
Importing and exporting graphic styles
DrawPlus can import individual graphic styles created by colleagues and friends
who also use DrawPlus X5. The reverse is true also—if you've created an exciting
new graphic style you can share it just as easily. Styles are saved in a Graphic
Style File (.gstyle). Use Import... and Export... in the Graphic Style Editor dialog
for importing and exporting.
Finding graphic styles
The Styles tab offers a Find Style feature which lets you locate preset or custom
graphic styles saved previously. Partial matching is supported, e.g. a search for
"shadow" will find styles named "MyShadow", "Outer Shadow 2", "Lift Shadow
1".
To find a graphic style:
1. From the Styles tab's Tab Menu, select Find Style....
2. In the dialog, Enter a style name to search for.
3. Click OK. The search results are displayed in a temporary Search
Finished folder.
A found style can be applied to a selected object as for any other graphic style in
the Styles tab.
