Moving Objects 6
A user can move an object—text, ink text, sketch, shape, or a combination of
them—by selecting the object and then dragging it to another part of the
same input area or to another visible input area. The user can also drag the
selected object to the top, left, or right edge of the screen, where it becomes a
miniature and attaches itself to the edge of the screen. Then the user can go
to another view and drag the miniature from the edge of the screen to any
visible input area.
Typing 6Wherever users can write text on a Newton device, they can type it using an
on-screen keyboard as well. Figure 6-27 shows the four keyboards that are
built into the Newton system. You can also create custom keyboards for use
in your application.
