Object reclassification

In certain circumstances, you will need to change the order objects were created in.

Here is an example :

In the back color, you create two free points O and O then the circle center O through B point.

The create the line the line joining points O and A.

You activate red color, and choose the full filling style in the fill style palette .

Click the on tool . Then click on the circle to get it filled.

The surface created hides a part of the circle.

Then use tool (available by a click on   at the right of the top toolbar) and click on line AB.

The part of the line which was hidden is now visible because the line has been reclassified as far as possible in the list of created objects.

If you use the protocol tool () you will notice that the line is now the last of objects created.

In a similar way it is possible to reclassify a graphical object or a numerical object as far as possible either towards the beginning of the list or towards the start of the list using tool .

The protocol tool also offers the possibility to reclassify objects relatively to other objects in a very precise way.

In the protocol dialog box :

To reclass an objet as far as possible towards the beginning of the object list : Select this object in the list the click on icon .

To reclass an objet as far as possible towards the end of the object list : Select this object in the list the click on icon .

To reclass an object in an single step towards the beginning of the object list : Select this object in the list the click on icon .

To reclass an object in an single step towards the end of the object list : Select this object in the list the click on icon

To reclass an object before or after another object :

First you have to select these two objects in the list (Use Ctrl key + click to select the second object).

Once the two objects selected, if we name object1 the object that is defined first and object2 the object that is defined last :

• A click on icon   will reclass object2 before object1.

• A click on icon   will reclass object1 after object2.

To be noted :

• Reclassing an object implies reclassing other objects it depends on.

• In some circumstances , the reclassing of an object will be impossible and will not be accepted.
