13.18.3 Position, Size, Alignment, Order
Changing the position of a visualization element:
Position
Either select the element and immediately move it - the mouse-button keeping
pressed - to the desired position or instead of the mouse use the arrow keys. Or click
again on an already selected element and move it by keeping the mouse-button
pressed or by using the arrow keys. Another possibility is to edit the "Position" values in
the Visual Element Properties window.
Size
Select the element and then perform a mouse-click on one of the little squares on the
elements outline. The actual cursor symbol, a double-arrow in vertical, horizontal or
diagonal orientation will indicate in which direction the square and thereby the
respective parts of the outline can be moved to change the elements size. Another
possibility is to edit the "Position" values in the Visual Element Properties window.
Order
To define where an element should be positioned on the Z-axis of the visualization
area, that is in back- or foreground or somewhere in between, use the commands by
default available in the Visualization/Order submenu.
Alignment
To align two or several elements use the commands which are by default in the
Visualization/Alignment submenu.
By default commands for the Visualization are provided in the "Visualization" menu. If
necessary open the Customize dialog for the configuration of the menus and
commands and there notice command category Visual Commands.
13.18.4 Grouping elements
Multiple elements can be selected and grouped. Concerning this please see the
description of the visualization commands Group and Ungroup. Subelements of a
group can only be selected via the Element List.
13.18.5 Visualization Element Properties
When the visualization editor is opened, you can insert visualization elements into the
current visualization by dragging from the toolbox.
As soon as an element is inserted in the current visualization, it can be changed
concerning position, size, order and alignment via mouse-actions in the editor view
and/or via the commands of category Visual Commands (Visualization menu by
default).
