In this first look at the drawing tools available in Page Graphics (P.G.) Mode we are going to concentrate on Lines and Boxes. 888888888@@Another Blueprint 888888888@ Once again, our publishing efforts require some planning. If you have already printed off Thumbnail pages of our project up to this point, that is great. If you haven't, then now is the time to do so. Using PostPrint or geoPubLaser it is as simple as checking a box to print a page of Thumbnail images. If you don't have access to a PS Printer at the moment you could print each geoPublish (gP) Page to a geoPaint file using the Paint Pages Printer Driver and then use the Thumbnail program from the RUN GEOS Power Pak Disk to place up to 16 gP pages into a single geoPaint proofing file to print off. With our Thumbnail printout and Red Pen it is a simple process to mark the location of our graphics on each page to ensure that we don't miss anything. For this project we will draw a line down the left guideline. On pages where an article begins we are going to draw a line across the page below the title. On subsequent article pages we are going to place a shaded box around our titles. We will also add some highlights around our Pull-Quotes on Pages 2 and 4. 888888888@@Better than@ Grade 1 888888888@ We are going to start off drawing simple lines. Unlike using Crayola Crayons, however, gP provides some very handy features to make drawing lines easy and impressive. Start gP and OPEN the TutorialPart1 document. GOTO Page 1 and change to P.G. Preview. To make drawing our lines easier we want to turn on ratchet (C= R) under the options menu. Ratchet is similar to snap in that it controls the pointer placement but it does so in a different manner. Where snap attaches the pointer to the Master Page (M.P.) Guid888888888snap in that it controls the pointer placement but it does so in a different manner. Where snap attaches the pointer to the Master Page (M.P.) Guidelines, ratchet uses a grid system. Under the options menu you will see a choice to `set ratchet'. Choose this and you will see that we can use a `two pixel ratchet' or a `1/2 inch ratchet' as our grid. Choose the `1/2 inch ratchet' and press OK. We are going to draw our vertical line down the left side of the page first so select the line tool [gP Page 3-5] and then open the attributes for it. We want to choose `square' and `transparent', solid black and the narrowest line width. Press OK and then place the crosshairs at the top left corner of our page (1V) and click and drag the line down to the 10" mark. You will see how ratcheting makes this easy to do. Our next line will be under the title so place the crosshairs at the 3V location, click and drag across to 3Z. This will be our basic page configuration for graphics. With the M.P. line across the bottom of the text we have enclosed our text on 3 sides. The gap between where the left line ends at the 10" mark and the M.P. bottom line leaves the page a little less confined than if we had joined the two lines and ratcheting made it easy to do. Goto Pages 3, 5, 7, 10, 13 and 14 and add these two lines to each page in the same way we did on Page 1. We'll come back to Pages 10 and 14 to finish them up later. 888888888@@And now a Box 888888888@ Goto Page 2 and draw the left edge line down the page to the 10" mark. Select the `Rectangle/Square' [gP Page 3-6] tool and then open the attributes for it. We want our headlines to be visible but we also want to add a little flair to our pages. Select Square, the narrowest frame width, Transparent, and then click the up arrow beside the pattern box (which should be empty by default) 7 times to get a lightly shaded pattern. This pattern translates into a 12.5% grey shade when laser pr888888888up arrow beside the pattern box (which should be empty by default) 7 times to get a lightly shaded pattern. This pattern translates into a 12.5% grey shade when laser printed which gives a nice background for our titles. Click OK to close the attributes box. Click the crosshairs pointer at 1A and drag across and down and click a second time at 2E to make a shaded box for our headline. The attributes for the graphic objects are retained until you change them so it is a simple process to goto Pages 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15 and 16 and add the line and box to each page. 888888888Once you have completed adding these elements to 888888888all of these pages goto Page 10. We continued an article onto Page 10 so we must draw a box around its' headline in the middle of the page. 888888888DYou should be able to see the headline text just 888888888below our lower regions. This makes it so that our 1/2 inch pixel ratchet won't line up our box exactly where we want it. We have 2 options. We could use the 2 pixel ratchet or we could stick with the 1/2 inch ratchet and just adjust the box in Zoom view after initial placement. 888888888@ I am going to stick with the 1/2 inch ratchet since the 2 pixel ratchet doesn't line up where I want it to and I'll have to adjust the box afterwards anyhow. The 2 pixel ratchet seems to move 4 pixels in the horizontal direction and 8 pixels vertically so it won't produce the box I want. With the 1/2 inch ratchet selected place your crosshairs at 5 1/2"A then click and drag to 6"E. Select the Pointer tool and select Zoom in the disp menu. Drag the Zoom box down the left edge of the page to the 5" mark and click to place it. After the screen redraws lightly bump your pointer against the right edge of the screen and quickly move the pointer back to the left. Wait for the screen to redraw and then do this again. These two bumps will move the screen over enough so that our left guideline (A) is almost at the edge of the screen where our ruler is. This will make it easier to judge where we want to place our box. 888888888Hide the Toolbox (C= T or use the options menu toggle) and then click on 888888888Hide the Toolbox (C= T or use the options menu toggle) and then click on the shaded box. Click on the `move button' and drag the box down so that the top of it is 1 pixel below the 5 5/8" mark (the first notch below the original position) and click to place the box. Unhide the Toolbox (C= T) and click on the Pointer tool to remove the bounding box from our shaded box. Next, click the Update Tool [gP Page 3-5] to redraw our page. The shaded box is positioned just right to have our headline centered. 888888888Now, goto Page 14 and then change to Preview 888888888under the disp menu. By changing pages first we don't have to wait for Page 10 to redraw in Preview before changing to Page 14 and having to wait for it to redraw. Select the Rectangle/Square tool and draw a box from 6"A to 6 1/2" E. Change to Zoom view and move the Zoom box down to the 4 1/2" mark. 888888888Select the Pointer Tool and then `bump' the right 888888888edge of the screen twice. Click on the shaded box and, using the move button, move the shaded box up to 1 pixel below the first ruler mark above the 6" mark. Click to place the box. Select the Pointer Tool and then select the Update Tool to redraw the page. 888888888@Highlighting 888888888Our two pull-quotes on Pages 2 and 4 need a little 888888888help to make them stick out from the page the way we want. Remain in Zoom view and goto Page 2. You should see our pull-quote in the lower portion of the screen. 888888888 Select the line tool and draw a vertical line down the page from the 1" ruler mark. Draw a parallel line down the page from the 3 1/2" ruler mark. These lines will ensure that our next two lines are drawn correctly. Our next 2 lines will be drawn, one above and one below the Special Text, centered between our Special Text and our article text, across the page from the 1" vertical line to the 3 /12" vertical line. After drawing these 2 lines, select the Pointer, click on the vertical line at the 1" mark and then click on the Delete Tool [gP Page 3-6]. Next, delete the vertical line at the 3 1/2" mark and then press the Update Tool to redraw the screen. 888888888Goto Page 4 and then we have to scroll the page to the right and down some to locate our Pull-Quote at the 7" vertical mark in the center column. We want to draw our vertical lines about 1/4" inside the co888888888Goto Page 4 and then we have to scroll the page to the right and down some to locate our Pull-Quote at the 7" vertical mark in the center column. We want to draw our vertical lines about 1/4" inside the column guidelines. Then, we want to draw our horizontal lines on top and bottom of the Special Text and between our vertical lines. Once you have done that Delete the vertical lines and Update the page. If you have been crossing off the graphics on our Thumbnail page you will see that we have completed adding our finishing touches to TutorialPart1. Close this file and open TutorialPart2. 888888888@@More of the same 888888888@ Use whatever method you have to and create a Thumbnail page for TutorialPart2. Go over this page with your red pen and mark the places where we need our lines and boxes. With TutorialPart2 open, goto Page 17 if it isn't open there, select the line tool and then the attributes. Attributes don't carry over from one document to the next so we have to ensure that the chosen options are Square, narrowest frame, transparent and solid black pattern. Turn on Ratchet under the options menu and make sure the setting is for 1/2 inch ratchet. In Preview add our Left Edge line and our line under the title. Add the same two lines to Page 18, 20, 22, 23, 24 and 28. Goto Page 19 and set the attributes for the Rectangle/Square Tool to Square, narrow frame, transparent and click the up arrow 7 times from the blank pattern to select the 12.5% shading pattern. Draw the Left Edge line and shaded title box on this page and Pages 25, 26, 27, 29, 30 and 31. Goto Page 18, select the Rectangle/Square Tool and draw a shaded box from 5"A to 5 1/2"E. Change to Zoom View, place the zoom box at the left edge of the page at the 4" mark and `bump' the screen to the right twice. Select the Pointer Tool, hide the Toolbox (C=T), click on the Shaded box and use the Move Button to move the box up by 4 pixels. Unhide the Toolbox, clic888888888Toolbox, click the Pointer tool to remove the bounding box and the press the Update Tool to redraw the screen. We have a different Page Layout in this gP document so let's goto Page 21 and then change to Preview. This page has two articles on it. We need to draw a line down the left edge of the page as well as one down the middle guideline (X) - extend both to the 10" mark. The left column is a continuation article so it requires a shaded box at the top. Draw a shaded box from 1V to 2X. The right column is a new column so it needs a line under the title from 3V to 3X. We have to resize the shaded box so it isn't up against the center guideline. Change to Zoom view and move the box to the middle of the page. Make sure the Pointer Tool is selected and click on the shaded box. Use the Resize Button to move the box to the left 1/4", click to place it, click the Pointer Tool to remove the bounding box and then press the Update Tool to redraw the screen. 888888888@@Verification 888888888@ In order to verify that we have placed all of the graphics that we wanted to it would be good to print out another Thumbnail page for each geoPublish file. Compare these pages with the previous Thumbnail pages and make any required adjustments. And that is all we have to do to add all of the graphics we need to up to this point in our Tutorial Project. From now on the directions on what to do for adding graphics will be included in the format file that accompanies the geoWrite files on the web site. In a future column we will look at an improved geoPublish program (Todd Elliott's V1.1) and see how an added feature makes it easier to add similar graphics to multiple pages as we have just done. Next time we will look at more of the drawing tools we have at our disposal in geoPublish. Until then, enGEOy your Commodore!modore!mmodore!en, enGEOy your Commodore!re!en, enGEOy your Commodore!ls.
