Working With Objects - Videonics PowerScript PS4000S Instruction Manual

Working with Objects

O bjects represent the basic building blocks for creating PowerScript pages—that is, to cre-
ate a page, place one or more objects on the page.
Objects can be of several types, including:
• Geometric Objects—lines, boxes, and ovals
• Text Object— one or more characters in a string of text
• Graphic Object—a separate graphic file stored on a PC Card
• Clock Object—an easy way to display the current date and time
Whenever you place objects on a page, each one remains an individual, independent
entity. You can therefore change an object's characteristics (known as object attributes )
without disturbing other objects on the page. For example, you might have a yellow text
object sitting atop a dark blue box, then decide the box should be dark green. Select the
box and change its fill color (an attribute) from dark blue to dark green.
