162 Macintosh
User's
Handbook
This chapter
is
devoted
to
the study
of
MacPaint.
It
will
begin with a discussion
on
how to access the Mac
Paint
docu-
ment. Next,
we
will discuss
the
drawing tools used to create the
illustrations, followed by a discussion
of
shapes
and
patterns
which are not drawn,
but
which are guided into the
proper
proportions. The chapter will continue with a section
on
manipulations
both
of
the images
on
the page
and
of
their
contents. Then
we
will cover
the
special menu options available
and
the special functions augmenting those menus.
Originating the MacPalnt Document
The
operator
can
originate a
MacPaint
document
in one
of
two different ways:
• From the Desktop
• From
MacPaint
These techniques as well as those used to access
an
existing
document are exactly the same as those used when dealing with
Mac Write.
To
originate a
MacPaint
document from the Desktop,
simply open the MacPaint application icon. The document
will
open revealing the
MacPaint
display shown in figure 6.1. The
display includes six parts:
•
MacPaint
document title
bar
• Drawing surface
• MacPaint tools
• Border width selection box
•
Pattern
boxes
•
MacPaint
menu
bar
