| Each type of drawing object has a set of graphical attributes that can be edited by selecting the object with the Select Drawing Objects tool and selecting the '''Attributes''' command in the '''Drawing Objects''' menu. The attributes can also be edited by double-clicking on an object.

| ==Text Attributes==
| |
| If a text object is selected, the '''Attributes command''' in the '''Drawing Objects''' menu brings up the Text Attributes dialog. The dialog can be used to change the font, the color, or the text string itself. An option is also provided to fill a rectangle just containing the text with a user-specified color. This option can be useful to help the text stand out from the objects being drawn behind the text.
| |
| | |
| ==Rectangle and Oval Attributes==
| |
| The attributes for both rectangles and ovals can be edited with the Rectangle/Oval Attributes dialog. Rectangle and oval attributes include line style, line color, and line width. An option can also be set to either draw only the outline of the rectangle or oval (no fill) or fill the object with a user-specified fill pattern and color.
| |
| | |
| ==Line Attributes==
| |
| The attributes for lines are edited with the Line Attributes dialog. The line attributes include line color, line width, and line style. The arrowheads associated with a line can also be edited. The length and width of the arrowhead can be defined along with the placement of the arrowheads. The arrowheads can be placed at the beginning of the line, the end of the line, or at both ends of the line.
| |
| | |
| ==Default Attributes==
| |
| When a new object is created, it inherits the default attributes for that object type. The default attributes are defined by selecting one of the drawing object tools (line, rectangle, oval or text) and selecting the '''Attributes''' command in the '''Drawing Objects''' menu.
