Styles

Styles as already it was mentioned above, are concrete sets of parameters of "exterior appearance", such as color, a transparency, decorative filling, effects and transformations.

It means that after application of the style, absolutely changing the exterior appearance of object, the document can be saved, and after its repeated discovery and removal of parameters of style the object again receives an initial type.

At usage of styles it is necessary to mean:

Styles can be applied to separate object (point images, text units and vectorial objects here turn on), to group or a layer. To parts of text units (one or several characters) styles are not applied;

Nota Bene. It is necessary to mean that the point image should be allocated (embedded) in the document.

Each style can include any combination of parameters of color, filling, обводок, decorative filling, effects, superimposing modes (blend modes), graduated fills and transformations;

Nota Bene. And, it is necessary to pay special attention that each style can include some the same parameters, for example, fill colors, effects and transformations. At style there can be, for example, three filling, everyone with own color and own value of opacity. The same property is spread and on обводки.

Application of styles does not destroy source object. It means that objects, groups and layers by which styles are appropriated, are completely accessible to editing of all properties, but thus at any moment it is possible to change the initial form of objects;

As styles any menu commands Effect (Effect) can be used. The identical or similar commands allocated in other menu items, are not saved in styles;

If to change any parameter of object to which style there is a rupture of communication of the given object to this style is applied;

Change of parameters of style conducts to change of parameters of all objects, groups and layers to which the given style is applied

Assignment of styles

Assignment of styles to separate objects, groups or layers has following singularities.

If style is applied to separate object new style replaces parameters of other style or "exterior appearance" which have been appropriated to object earlier.

If style is applied to set of objects style parameters are appropriated to each object individually.

If style is applied to group beforehand the group is necessary for making target (target) in palette Layers (Layers). In that case parameters of "exterior appearance" are appropriated to all group as a whole, т. E - to all separate objects entering into group.

For example, the group includes two objects, each of them has own filling and has no обводок. If to group to apply the style providing обводку any color, such parameter a camp! Additional to already available. In this case both objects save the filling, but receive обводку identical color. To any other objects added in this group, it will be appropriated обводки the same color.

Assignment of style to a layer is identical to operation with group. For example, style defines some level of opacity. When such style is appropriated to a layer all objects already allocated on the given layer and all again created or moved on given layer, acquire the same level of opacity.

Style can be appropriated also to objects, groups or layers with usage palettes Layers (Layers) in which object, it is possible to make group or a layer target (target). In that case any object moved to group or on a layer, acquires those properties as though to it appropriated them individually.

Palette Styfes

Usage of technology of styles allows to change an object type instantly. For control of styles special palette Styles (Styles) is provided (fig. 8.56) which allows to appropriate a name of set of parameters to save style and to apply it to object. Appropriating style to object, group or a layer, it is possible to change exterior appearance of object, without changing him.

Rice 8.56. Palette Styles

To display a palette, it is necessary to execute command Show Styles (to Show styles) menu Window (Window).

The palette can display "pictures" of styles in several modes:

Swatch View (Only images) display of styles only in the form of "pictures" (provides fig. 8.56);

Small List View (the List with small images) provides display of styles in the form of the list with small "pictures" (rice - 8.57);

Large List View (the List with large images) provides display of styles in the form of the list with "pictures" more (fig. 8.58).

Rice 8.57. A type of palette Styles in mode Small List View

Rice 8.58. A type of palette Styles in mode Large List View

To appropriate style to separate object, it is necessary to select cоответствующий object or to make its target (target) in palette Layers Layers) and to click on an appropriate line in palette Styles (Styles).

To appropriate style it is possible a method of drag and drop of style from palettes Styles (Styles) on any object. Preliminary selection of object in this case is not required.

To copy and apply style by means of tools Eyedropper (Pipette) and Paint Bucket (Filling) depending on setting of dialog box Paint Bucket/Eyedropper Options (Filling/pipette Parameters)

Creation and editing of styles

To create or edit style, it is necessary to fulfill one of following actions.

To create or select object with appropriate parameters, then to execute command New Style (New style) which opens dialog box Style Options (style Parameters) (rice - 8.59). In the field Style Name (the style Name) is necessary to enter the arbitrary title of style or to accept Offered by the program.

To create or select object with appropriate parameters, then to click on button New Style (New style) () in the lower part of a palette.

To drag an icon of object from palette Appearance (Exterior appearance) on an empty seat palettes Styles (Styles) (fig. 8.60) or on button New Style (New style) () in the lower part of a palette.

For creation of new style with a name accepted by default, it is possible to drag object immediately in palette Styles (Styles) or on button New Style (New style) () in the lower part of a palette.

If style with the arbitrary name, that is required, creating style the specified methods, it is necessary to retain pushed a key [Alt].

Rice 8.59. Dialog box Style Options

To replace style on new, it is possible to execute command Replace <a style name> to (Replace) in palette Appearance (Exterior appearance). All objects, groups or layers by which the changed style is appropriated, also change the type.

Rice 8.60. Creation of style by a drag and drop method

To replace style it is possible also by means of drag and drop of an icon of object from palette Appearance (Exterior appearance) or immediately object in palette Styles (Styles) at a pushed key [Alt].

New style can be received by merge already existing, for this purpose in palette Styles (Styles) at a pushed key [Ctrl] it is necessary to select appropriate styles and to execute command Merge Styles (to Merge styles) the palette menu. New style will contain all parameters of initial styles.

To rename style, it is necessary to fulfill double click on a line of appropriate style or to execute command Style Options (style Parameters) the menu of a palette and in the opened dialog box to enter other name. For creation of a copy of style command Duplicate Style (to Double style) the palette menu serves. New style is allocated in the end of the list.

To terminate communication of style and the selected object, group or a layer, it is necessary to execute command Break Link to Style (to terminate communication with style) the menu of a palette or to click on button Break Link to Style (to terminate communication with style) () in the lower part of a palette.

And when style ceases to be necessary, it can be deleted: for this purpose it is necessary to select it, and then to execute command Delete Style (to Delete style) the menu of a palette or to click on button Trash (Basket) () in the lower part of a palette.

Libraries of styles

In the program possibility of importation of styles from other libraries or from other files is provided. These libraries are installed in a folder \Settings\Style Libraries. For importation it is necessary to execute command Style Libraries (Library of styles) menu Window (Window).

As a result on the screen the additional palette (fig. 8.61) in which it is impossible to fulfill editing, adding and removal of styles is deduced.

It is possible to create own libraries, for this purpose it is necessary a normal file with demanded styles and a name convenient for use to save in a folder \Settings\Styte Libraries. After reboot of the program the name of this file appears in the list of libraries.
