Now that you have completed this basic flowchart, we suggest that
you take a minute and experiment with some of the techniques --
adding color, strokes, and other effects -- that you became familiar
with in previous sections.
Maintaining consistency in illustrations
If you need to recreate the same graphic over and over within a docu-
ment or over a series of documents, Canvas Macro objects feature is
the perfect tool.
Macro objects
Macro objects are special types of graphics in Canvas that help you
create illustrations quickly, uniformly, and precisely. Macro objects
are especially useful for technical drawings, diagrams, and other fre-
quently used illustrations. An electrical engineer can create macros
for gates, resistors, and other circuit components. Project managers
can build organizational charts with macros for shadowed text boxes.
You can create, delete, and modify individual macro objects, and also
save them as macro sets. Sets may be stored for use in special
projects and loaded as you need them.
