11.5 Operations on figures
---------------------------------------------------------------
These are understood to be operations on graphic figures:
o Marking
o Colour selection
o Line width selection
o Moving
o Enlarging/Shrinking
o Compression/Expansion
o Mirror-imaging (Flipping)
o Rotation
o Allocation to foreground/background
o Combining/Breaking apart
o Hiding/Unhiding
o Alignment
o Cutting
o Deletion
o Insertion
o Copying
Before operations on graphic figures can be carried out,
the figures must generally be "marked."
Marked figures are framed by a thin dotted line box, which
has a "handle" (a small square) at each of the four corners
and at the middle of each of the four sides.
The same operations can be carried out on several com-
monly marked figures as on a single marked figure.
11.5.1 Marking a single graphic figure
Icon: "Hand" (Keyboard: <H>)
➡ The last drawn graphic figure is marked, i.e. it is now
framed by a marking box with 8 handles (four in the cor-
ners and four on the middle of the sides).
(For straight lines there are only two handles, at the two
ends.)
