Figure 6.20. Copy and Paste commands
The Clear comand works the same as it did under the
Finder (see chapter 3). Select a portion of the drawing surface
and then select Clear. The selected area will disappear. This
action can be reversed using the Undo command.
The remaining edit commands are peculiar to MacPaint
and will require more study. Most of them , however, are
self-explanatory .
The Invert command is used to invert the coloring of a
selected
area. Note that none of the lower five options of the
Edit menu are available until an area has been selected. The
lasso can be used to select an area in which only the Invert
command is valid. The selection rectangle allows the use of all
five
options .
Select the copy of the watermelon. Then, select Invert.
The white portions of the selection turn black while the black
portions turn white. Reselecting Invert, or selecting Undo, will
reverse
the command .
