Chapter 6: Creating Drawings with Draw
Working With colours
The object bar has a list box from which to choose the colour for a selected object from a
number of predefined colours. The colour of the border line can be chosen independently of
the colour of the filling.
The colour Bar
If wanted or needed, the colour bar can be displayed on the edge of a drawing or
presentation. The colour bar offers a choice of colours. Selected objects can be coloured by
simply clicking on a colour. To display the colour bar, select View > Toolbars > colour Bar.
The colour bar displays all predefined colours with their respective names in the same order
as in the list box of the Object bar. User-defined colours appear at the end of the colour bar
and the bottom of the list box.
The field at top left of the colour bar is for the colour “Invisible”.
Change the size of the colour bar using the mouse. Alternatively, hold down the Ctrl key
and double-click in the gray part of the colour bar to obtain a movable, variable-size window
that can be manipulated in the same way as most other windows. For example, it can be
moved by dragging the title bar and its size changed by dragging the edges or corners of the
window. To dock the window again, hold down Ctrl and double-click on a gray area of the
floating colour bar.
