Working with Groups
updated:2006-08-04 22:49:47
PageStream can combine objects into groups to freeze their relative positions and to simplify manipulating them. A group of objects can be selected, moved, scaled and edited as one object. The appearance of the individual objects is unchanged when they are grouped; groups exist only to make editing easier. Groups can be many levels deep. For example, you...
Comparing Drawings with Groups
updated:2006-08-04 22:00:53
Do not confuse drawings with groups. While the concepts may seem similar, they produce different results, especially when you edit the combined objects. Basically, grouping objects combines them together so that you can edit them as a single object, but the components retain their individual properties: e.g., the shapes' line weights remain the same as...

Drawing Paths
updated:2006-08-04 20:40:13
A path is a series of any number of line and curve segments. It is called a path because an imaginary pen follows a path to draw the lines and curves. A path with two points would have one segment connecting them, a path with three points would have two segments, and so on. PageStream uses Bezier curves to generate smooth curves. Each curve has two Bezier...

The shape tools are used to draw geometric shapes...

Article: When you type or import text into a text frame, the text becomes part of an article. Text frames are containers which hold text articles. Articles can flow from page to page because text frames can be linked together. You can place more than one article on a page. For example, a newspaper generally has half a dozen articles on the front page which...
