chapter 4 Flashcards
point of origin
place where all transformations are executed in relation to a fixed point
4 basic methods for making transformations
click transform tools
double click transform tool
click transform tool then click artboard
click transform tool, press alt, then click the artboard
free transform
applies an eight handled bounding box to selected image
transform panel
displays info about the size, orientation and location of one or more selected objects
X and Y coordinates
indicate objects horizontal and vertical locations on artboard
shear tool
hidden behind scale tool- shears at an angle
concentric
refers to objects that share the same center point
outline stroke command
converts an stroked path into a closed path that is width as the original stroked path
compound shape
two or more paths that are combined in such a way that holes appear where ever paths overlay
pathfinder
group of present operations that help you combine paths in a variety of ways
add to shape area
converts two or more overlapping objects into single merged
subtract from shape area
where objects overlap
intersect shape area
creates a single merged object from the area where two or more objects overlap
minus back
the opposite of subtract deletes the backmost object from the frontmost object
divide
divides an object into its component filled faces
when you change an objects size, shape, or position on the artboard
its a transformation
transformation tools
rotate, scale, reflect, shear, and free transform tools
reflect
flips object like a spoon
shear
skews or distorts an object
transform each
good for transforming multiple objects individually
offset path command
creates a copy of a selected path set off by a specified distance
pathfindes
are good for creating complex or irregular shapes shapes shapes from basic shapes
align panel
offers a quick and simple solution for aligning selected objects along the axis when you specify
clipping mask
in object menu window
