<h1>Translate Selection</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Translate Selection dialog provides for translating in 2D a user-selected part of a
|
|
panel created using Layout Editor. Before selecting <strong>Translate Selection...</strong>
|
|
in the Options menu, an area of the panel must be "selected". To select an area, press and
|
|
hold down the mouse at the upper left of the area, and drag the mouse to the lower right of
|
|
the area. The selected area is outlined by a rectangle. For icon items, the upper left corner
|
|
of the icon must be within the selection rectangle if the icon is to be translated.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To translate your selected area in the Panel window, enter the amount to translate in the
|
|
<em>x</em> (horizontal) and <em>y</em> (vertical) directions. The units are pixels--the same
|
|
units shown in the <em>x,y</em> position display in the Layout Editor tool bar. For no
|
|
translation in either direction enter zero. For horizontal translation, enter a negative
|
|
number to move the selected area left that number of pixels; enter a positive number to move
|
|
right. For vertical translation, enter a negative number to move the selected area up by that
|
|
number of pixels; enter a positive number to move the selected area down.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>After entering the amounts to translate, click <strong>Move Selection</strong> to move the
|
|
selected area. <strong>Caution:</strong> translating too far can move the upper left corner
|
|
of an icon over the edge of the panel, where it cannot be selected, and may disappear
|
|
forever. Fortunately, if you make this mistake, you can undo a translation by immediately
|
|
selecting <strong>Undo Translation</strong> in the Options menu. <strong>Undo
|
|
Translation</strong> only works for the last <strong>Translate Selection...</strong>
|
|
performed. Remember to check results immediately after translating a selection in case
|
|
undoing the operation is needed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>To retain your changes, please remember to save your Panel!</strong>
