Using the same technique, enter the remaining text in the
boxes. Notice
that
if the text runs over
another
part
of
the
drawing, the text will supersede the background. The diagram
is
now complete. A more extensive chart would entail a piece-
meal construction by moving the drawing surface from place to
place concentrating on one
area
at
a time. The limits to the
chart
lie solely with the size
of
the page.
CONCLUSION
Creating this diagram has shown the
proper
use
of
refer-
ence points
to
create precise diagrams. More importantly,
however, it has demonstrated the role
of
constraints
and
spe-
cial functions in creating presentable illustrations.
The shadowing method detailed here can quickly become
tedious and time consuming. The next illustration shows
an
easier method which
is
every bit as precise as the one shown
here.
The
Pie Chart
The pie
chart
is
used
to
graphically depict proportional
divisions
of
a specific
quantity
such as a budget as
is
the case in
this example. It should be noted
that
the
data
used in this
and
the
next example have no basis in fact. The values were simply
invented for the purpose
of
illustrating text entry methods.
The
important
techniques used are alternate uses for ref-
erence points
and
lines to achieve shadowing, partitioning
of
a
figure, movement
of
detailed portions
of
a diagram,
and
decorative coloring. Also,
we
will illustrate
data
transfer
between MacPaint
and
Mac Write documents.
