Shape frames context menu
If you click on a selected shape frame while pressing [Ctrl] (or
right-click) to open a context menu, you will see the following
context menu:
However, most functions which are offered in this context menu,
are also available in the menu bar of iCalamus. The only menu item of
interest here for simple shapes is Path
, which offers the
following options:
- Open Path
-
This function opens the vector path in a shape frame. The menu
entry then changes to
Close Path
(see below).
- Close Path
-
This function closes the vector path in a shape frame. When you
choose this function, an additional vector line will be drawn from the
current end point to the start point. This way you will quickly get a
closed vector path.
- Reverse Path
-
This function reverses the path direction of a vector path. A
shape frame contains a shape which is represented by at least one
vector path. This shape can look different or be used in different
ways depending on the path direction.
If you have selected a frame with a dynamic shape, a Shape
submenu will be offered instead, with the following options:
- Edit Shape Parameters
-
This function is described in detail in the
Shapes
chapter of the Objects menu.
- Convert to Editable Path
-
This function is described in detail in the
Shapes
chapter of the Objects menu.
