Diagram Boy supports a variety of ways to create new shapes
-
Group: Select multiple shapes, and then select "Main Menu->Object->Group" to create a combination. The combination is the same as the ordinary shape, and you can set the style, scale and other operations on it. The shape of the combination can also be disbanded ("main menu->Object->Ungroup").
-
Composite: Select multiple shapes, and then select "Main Menu->Object->Composite->..." Select a compound operation. The result of the composite operation is an ordinary shape. Unlike the group, the composite shape cannot perform the ungroup operation.
-
Supported compositing operation:Union\Substract\Intersection\Xor\Concatanate:
-
Union: The result is the combined shape of all shapes;
-
Substract: Subtract the part that coincides with other shapes from the first shape;
-
Intersection: The result is the part where all shapes overlap;
-
Xor:The result is all parts whose shapes do not overlap;
-
Concatanate: Combine the paths of all shapes and create a new path;
-
Edit shape: The path shape can be edited using the path editing tool, please refer to the introduction of the path tool.
Other shapes can also be converted to path shapes (context menu: "Convert to path shape")
