Text frames can also have fill colors, shadows, and other attributes,

just like any other Draw object. You can rotate the frame and write the

text at any angle. These options are available by right-clicking on the

object.

Use the Callout tool, located on the Drawing toolbar, to create callouts

(also known as captions or figure labels).

If you double-click on an object or press F2 (or the Text icon in the

Drawing toolbar) when an object is selected, text is written in the

center of the object and remains within the object. Nearly any kind of

object contains such an additional text element. These texts have slight

differences to those in text frames concerning position and

hyphenation.

For more about text, see Chapter 2 (Drawing Basic Shapes) and

Chapter 10 (Advanced Draw Techniques) in the Draw Guide.

Gluepoints and connectors

All Draw objects have associated invisible gluepoints, which become

visible when you choose any of the connectors under the Connectors

icon on the Drawing toolbar and then move the mouse pointer over

the object.

Most objects have four gluepoints, as shown in Figure 174. You can

add more gluepoints, and customize gluepoints, using the toolbar

under the Gluepoint icon on the Drawing toolbar.

Figure 174: Four gluepoints

Gluepoints are different from handles (the small blue or green squares

around an object). Use the handles to move or resize an object; use the

gluepoints to attach connectors to an object.

Connectors are a type of line or arrow whose ends dock to glue points

on other objects. When you move the other object, the connector

moves with it. Connectors are particularly useful for making

organizational charts. You can reorganize the blocks of your chart and

all the connected objects stay connected.
