Color

These commands sets the color of each selected object.

1. Select every object whose color you wish to change.

2. Choose the desired color from the Color submenu of the Display menu.

When you set the color of an object, Sketchpad remembers your chosen color for new objects of the same kind.

To change an object’s color without changing the setting for future objects, hold down the Shift key while choosing the command.

If you set the color of a caption that has different colors for different characters, choosing this command sets all of the characters to the new color you choose.

If you set the color of a labeled geometric object, note that the color applies only to the object, not to its label.

To change the color of an object’s label, select the object and then choose the new color from the Text Palette.

To color a polygon interior, you must first construct the interior.

You can change the color choices available in the Color submenu by using the System panel of the Advance Preferences dialog box.
