Formatting connectors

Connectors are lines that join two shapes. Connectors always start from a glue point

on the shape. Refer to Chapter 5 (Managing Graphic Objects) for a description of the

usage of connectors.

Connector properties can be accessed and modified in two ways:

• Manual formatting: right-click on the connector line and select Connector in

the pop-up menu.

• Style-based formatting: select one of the available graphics styles or create a

new one.

Both methods open the Connector dialog box where you can set the style of the

connectors. Choose between Standard (the default), Line, Straight, and Curved

connector. Whenever multiple connectors overlap, use the Line skew section of the

dialog box to distance the lines. It is possible to customize the distance between 4

different lines.

In the Line spacing section of the dialog box, set the horizontal and vertical space

between the connector and the object at each end of the connector.

Working with graphics styles

To achieve consistency in the style across the slides of a presentation (or a

presentations portfolio), or simply to apply the same formatting to a large number of

objects, the best approach is to use graphics styles.

Graphics styles are the equivalent for graphic objects of paragraph styles for text. A

graphics style groups all the formatting attributes that a graphic object can have and

associates this with a name, making them quickly reusable. If a style is modified (for

example, by changing the area transparency), the changes are automatically applied

to all the graphics with that style.
