3.2 Creating symbol elements

The Symbol Editor provides a set of general graphical shapes that can be used as symbol elements. All symbol elements except bitmaps are vector-based and therefore they can be used with precision and are easy to scale. In this chapter we introduce each shape and provide detailed descriptions of how to create it and how to change such shape specific properties as location, size, colors and line style. Those editing operations that are common for all shapes, like scaling and aligning, are discussed in Section 3.3.
