Freeway Reference: Working with Graphics

Positioning a graphic within its box using the

Graphic dialog box

1. Double-click on the graphic to display the Graphic dialog or select

Graphic tab.

2. In the Horizontal offset and Vertical offset boxes, enter new

values for the position of the graphic.

See also Manipulating items on page 47.

Centering a graphic within its box automatically

You can center a graphic within its box by selecting the item and

choosing Center from the Graphic submenu on the Item menu

(see over). You can also Control-click and choose Center from the

Graphic submenu on the contextual menu. The keyboard shortcut to

center a graphic is Shift-Command-m.

Copying graphics to the clipboard

When you have a graphic contained in a graphic item in Freeway you

can copy the item or its contents to the clipboard in a variety of ways.

Select the item, and:

1. Choose Copy from the Edit menu to copy the item to the clipboard.

2. Hold down the Alt key and choose Copy from the Edit menu to copy the contents of the item to the clipboard as a PICT image—

this allows you to copy/paste graphic material from Freeway into other applications.

3. Hold down the Alt and Shift keys and choose Copy from the Edit menu to copy the contents of the item to the clipboard ready to

paste into another item in Freeway.

Exporting graphics from Freeway

You can export any selection of graphic items or entire pages as graphics using Freeway’s export command:

1. Select the graphic items you wish to export or change to the

page you wish to export.

2. Choose Export… from the File menu.

Freeway will choose an output format depending on your

selection. A color photo, for example, will default to JPEG, but

graphic text will default to GIF.

3. If the automatic format selection is not what you want,

choose a different export Format from the popup menu.

Choose either Selection (just the items selected) or Page (all

items on the page, complete with the page background).

4. Enter a name for the exported file and click Save.

5. An Options dialog box will appear, with options tuned to the format option selected in step 3.

When exporting items, it’s important to remember that the background color of the page is not exported with them. When exporting

items as a GIF you may need to select an anti-aliasing color from the Options dialog or give the items being exported a colored fill to

control the color of anti-aliased edges and prevent a halo from appearing if the exported image is used on a colored background. For

more information on anti-aliasing, see Preview options on page 132.

Control-clicking

an imported graphic

gives access to the

contextual menu

for quickly applying

transformations.
