Moving objects
Moving the cursor over an object on a report page will change the cursor to a
move icon. The object can then be dragged and dropped to new locations
within the pages of a report. If objects are selected within different sections
(header, footer, body) or different pages, the move cursor is not displayed
and objects cannot be moved.
Objects can be moved between the header, footer and body sections of a
page and are subject to bounds checks. If an object (or group of objects) is
too big to fit in the new section, a "no entry" sign is displayed. Trying to drop
the object will move the object back to its original position on the page.
Resizing objects
When an object is selected on a report page, it can be resized using the
resize handles. When resizing an object, it is bounds checked to its current
section on the page and cannot be resized outside of these bounds.
The options for resizing objects are:
Moving the cursor over one of the handles will change the cursor to a
double-headed arrow indicating which way the object will be resized.
The aspect ratio of a plot is fixed and is always square.
When moving corners of images, their aspect ratio is maintained.
When moving corners, the aspect ratio of the statistics box,
compensation matrix, text box and field is not fixed, i.e. it can be
stretched horizontally or vertically.
For all objects, holding Shift whilst resizing using a corner handle will
maintain the aspect ratio.
When moving the top or bottom centre of the statistics box,
compensation matrix, text box, field and image, its height can be resized.
When moving the right or left middle of the statistics box, compensation
matrix, text box, field and image, its width can be resized.
The options for resizing lines are:
Moving the cursor over either handle will change the cursor to a
crosshair, indicating the handle can be moved in any direction.
To resize or change orientation of the line, drag either of the handles.
The line can be dragged to any size and orientation around 360 degrees.
The line is limited to the current section on the page.
To fix the position of a line to horizontal and vertical positions, hold the
Shift key and drag the handle. To relocate the line to its new position,
first release the mouse and then let go of the Shift key.
