Creating And Editing Graphic Objects; Block Text - Omron CX-SUPERVISOR - V2.0 User Manual

CHAPTER 4 – Objects
Wizards
Control objects cannot be re-shaped in the same way as a graphical object but are edited using
Wizards. Wizards customise control objects to display information in an easy to understand manner.
To edit a control object and activate a Wizard, double click on the object.
Note:

Creating and Editing Graphic Objects

For details on re-sizing the graphic objects described in the following paragraphs, refer to chapter 3,
Editing Objects.
Arc
Arcs may be transparent or filled with a colour or pattern. To insert an Arc, select the Arc
button from the Graphic Object bar. Click or click and drag on the page.
To edit the arc, obtain the red grab handles. Click and drag to change the angle subtended by the arc.
To finish editing, click elsewhere on the page or press <Esc>.

Block Text

To insert block text, click the Block Text button, and then click on the page. Stretch the text
object to resize it. Standard text tools from the toolbar and the keyboard (e.g. bold, italic,
left-justify) can be used, and their effect applies to the whole content of the object.
To edit block text, double click on it. A Text-Editing dialog is displayed. The text can then be
changed, as can the word-wrap and border options. Standard Windows cut, copy and paste facilities
can be used.
Ellipse
Ellipses may be transparent or filled with a colour or pattern. To create a filled ellipse, click
the Ellipse button.
To create a transparent ellipse, click the Ellipse Frame button. Alternatively, select a filled
ellipse and click the Transparency.
Either click on the page to create a circle, or click and drag to create an ellipse. Ellipses cannot be
edited but can be re-sized.

The shortcut keyboard combinations for Cut, Copy and Paste operations are valid
within Wizards. Highlight part or all of a field and type <Ctrl>+X to cut the text or
<Ctrl>+C to copy the text; move the cursor to the desired field and type <Ctrl>+V
to paste the text. Since the cut and copy operations store the information in the
Windows Clipboard, they may be pasted to another Wizard, dialog or application.
