*Description*
-------------
Unify DrawObject modification with full attributes.
Interaction with DrawObjects will now show enhanced interaction
visualisation to provide an ergonomically better feedback for the
user. Instead of wireframe visualisation there will now be shown a
transparent interaction preview on top of the current display whenever
possible. This will be the defualt from now. This will work in all
Applications using Drawing Objects from the DrawingLayer. This is done
for Obejct Creation and for all Object Modifications (Move, scale,
shear, mirror, distort, etc...).
Example A: When changing an AutoShape (e.g. an Arrow) by moving the
yellow control handle, there will now be a direct preview of the
result during the Interaction showing the changing shape.
Example B: When resizing a text box, the re-layouting of the contained
text can be watched and used to reach a wanted result in one interaction.
Example C: Moving an Object which is connected to others with
connectors will now re-layout all relevant objects during the
interaction (on the fly) to give a precise preview of the result.
Nearly all interactions where this is useful are adapted to be more
intuitive, so it will be best to play around with the new feature.
There is a configuration option to switch this feature off. For
HighContrast mode, this fallback to wireframe is taken automatically.
For Draw/Impress, this feature can be switched on and off using a
button tn the Options toolbar.
For a more detailed list of modes and combinations, please refer to
the specification.
