Trend Objects

The Trend tool allows you to add a trend to the graphics page with the mouse (click and drag).

After a trend object is drawn, it can be moved, re-sized, re-shaped, brought to the front etc., and its properties can be edited, just like any other type of object.

To add a trend to a page:

  1. Click the Trend tool

  2. or choose Objects | Trend.

  3. Move the mouse to where you want the trend to start and click (and hold) the mouse button.
  4. Drag the mouse to the opposite corner of the trend and release the mouse button.

  5. The Trend Properties dialog appears. Assign the Trend Tags to the pens, choosing appropriate colors.
