Chapter 2
- In a vector object, path segments connect the anchor points of a path.
- The start and end points of a closed path are connected.
- You can draw free-form paths using the Vector Path tool.
- Each anchor point has one or more point handles.
- Point handles are visible when you edit a curved path segment.
- You can create and modify point handles on curved paths by using the Subselection tool.
- You can adjust the stroke properties for all vector tools.
- You can use the Join command to join two open selected points.
- When the Union command is used on two paths that overlap, the nonintersecting areas are also included.
- You can change preset gradient colors.
- You can add a color to a gradient by clicking an area beneath the color ramp.
- The Color Mixer displays the color palette of the values of the active solid color.
- Filters can dramatically change the appearance of an object.
- You can undo the filters from the Filters menu only in the current work session.S
- Styles are preset attributes.
- You can apply text and button styles to any object.
- When you create a custom style, you can save many of the properties associated with fills, strokes, effects, and text.
- After you group objects, you can modify properties of the group as a whole.
- The Clone command creates an identical object and places it above the original on the Layers panel.
- The Pen tool can be used to draw free-form paths.
- If the path of a vector object has curves, such as a circle, ellipse, or rounded rectangle, the circular points are known as curve points.
- If the path of a vector object has angles or is linear, such as a square, a star, or a straight line, the square points are known as corner points.
- The Subselection tool is used to move points on a path.
- You can use the Subselection tool to create a curved point.
- To connect two unconnected paths, select the Pen tool, click the end point of one path, and then click the end point of the other path.
- You can modify the size and angle of a curve by adjusting the length and position of the point handles.
- You can use the Pen tool to create and modify point handles on curved paths.
- The Align commands are located on the Modify menu.
- You can open the Align panel to distribute, size, and space multiple objects.
- If the Join command is applied to two objects which are both closed, the new path is called a(n) composite path.
- If the Join command is applied to two objects which are open, the new path is called a(n) continuous path.
- The Union command creates a path that is the sum total of all the selected paths.
- The Duplicate command is found on the Edit menu.
- In Windows, you can replicate any object by pressing and holding [Alt] and then dragging the object on the canvas.
- To use the Union command, click Modify on the menu bar, point to Combine Paths, and then click Union.
- In Windows, you can press [Ctrl][G] to group objects.
- A(n) solid fill is the color swatch or hexadecimal value that you specify in the color pop-up window or in the Color Mixer.
- A Web Dither fill approximates the color of a non-Web-safe color by combining two Web-safe colors.
- Pattern fills are bitmap images that have complex color schemes and textures.
- The color ramp creates and displays the range of colors in a gradient, including their transparency.
- You can adjust gradient transparency by modifying the opacity swatches above the color ramp.
- You can view the color palette of the values of the active solid color in the Stroke Color box on the Tools panel.
- All file formats exported by Fireworks are based on the RGB color model.
- The Filters section of the Property inspector includes the effects found on the Filters menu, as well as bevel, emboss, shadow, and glow effects.
- Fireworks adjusts transparency in terms of percentage.
- Fireworks uses percentage settings to adjust the amount of texture in strokes and fills.
- The opacity setting determines if your image is completely opaque or completely transparent.
- You can open the Styles panel from the Window menu
- Fireworks comes with two types of styles, text and object.
- You can apply the attributes from one object to another by using the Copy command and the Paste Attributes command.
- To delete a point from a path, double-click the point.
- The Subselection tool is found on the Tools panel.
- Beatrice feels safe when she experiments with filters, because she knows that even if she makes a mistake she can always review or edit Live Filters.
