Using the Editing Modes of Views Studio

Once you have created an object in the buffer window, you can use the tools available in the editing modes toolbar to change or modify the object.

The Editing Modes Toolbar

When you click an icon in the toolbar, you will enter the editing mode and will be able to perform the following tasks:

• Select an object for editing.

• Reshape or resize a polyline or polygon object.

• Add or edit a single-line label or multiple-line text to the buffer window.

• Rotate an object in the buffer window.

• Test the behavior of your objects and edit some of their properties.

• Zoom in on a selected portion of an object.

• Pan an object in the buffer window.

• Zoom in or zoom out a selected object in the buffer window.

• Fit all the contents of the buffer within the window.

For details about each editing mode, see The Editing Modes Toolbar.

Note As you use Views Studio extensions provided with other Views Views packages, you will have access to other types of buffer windows (Gadgets, Grapher, and Application). Each buffer type provides access to additional features of Views Studio and has its own set of editing modes. The editing modes vary depending on the type of the current buffer window.
