• Freeform Line: With this tool you can draw just like with a pencil. Press and

hold the left mouse button and drag the mouse. It is not necessary to end the

drawing with a double-click. Just release the mouse button and the drawing is

completed. If you have selected Freeform Line, Filled, the end point is joined

automatically to the start point and the object is filled with the appropriate

color.

Gluepoints and connectors (basics)

Gluepoints

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 28. You can add more

gluepoints, and customize gluepoints, using the toolbar of the same name (Figure

29).

Gluepoints are not the same as the little blue or green “handles” of an object. The

handles are for moving or changing the shape of an object, as described in Chapter 3

(Working with Objects and Object Points), but the gluepoints are used to “glue” a

connector to an object.

For a more detailed description of the use of gluepoints, see Chapter 9 (Organization

Charts, Flow Diagrams, and More).

Connectors

Connectors are lines or arrows whose ends automatically dock to a gluepoint of an

object. Connectors are especially useful in drawing organization charts, flow

diagrams, and mind-maps. Even when objects are moved or reordered, the

connectors remain attached.

Figure 30 shows two Draw objects and a connector.
