Using the graphic generated in the posterize and vectorize process above, Break and
Split it, and then try out some operations using the tools on the Effects toolbar.
To use this tool to vectorize the first letter of a chapter in a special font, convert the
graphic to a polygon, using no point reduction or background tiling. Use Modify >
Break to generate two polygons. An example is shown below.
Original polygon, converted from a Metafile.
Break the graphic into two polygons.
After the conversion there are two polygons, one
with the visible letter and another polygon, not
visible because the lines and area filling are all in
white. You can select this “invisible” polygon by
pressing the Tab button (click on the visible letter
first, then press Tab; this moves the current
selection to the next object). In the example at
the left, the invisible polygon has been moved to
the side. If you have Display Grid active and the
grid points set to display behind objects, you can
see where this invisible polygon is, since it
obscures the grid points behind it.
This invisible polygon encloses the letter. After
changing lines and/or area to a different color,
the polygon becomes visible.
