Figure 6-12 Interface element for shape input
■Editing Let users edit shapes—select, delete, copy-and-paste, duplicate,
reshape, resize, and move.
■Formatting Let users set the line thickness of individual shapes and
shape segments.
General Input 6The one interface element for general input lets a user write text and draw
shapes. If the user writes text, the general input element creates a paragraph
and operates within that paragraph like the paragraph-input element
described in “Paragraph Input” on page 6-12. If the user draws shapes, the
general input element creates a shape-input area and operates like the input
element described under the heading “Shape Input” on page 6-13. Figure 6-13
shows an example of a general input element.
