Graphics Editor Software Features Guide

A graphics editor software package needs to be developed that allows users to create line drawings using geometric shapes and text. The software should allow users to select, modify, copy, move and delete objects. It must also support saving files, importing images, zooming and panning views, grouping objects, and using clipboards to copy and paste objects. Functionalities like changing an object's properties, loading and saving files, and adjusting the view are required.

Graphics Editor: Those who are not familiar with any graphics editor at all, please try looking

at the
Graphics Drawing features available in either MS-Word or Powerpoint software. You can also examine
any other Graphical Drawing package accessible to you such as AutoCAD. An understanding of the
standard features of a Graphics Editor will help you understand the different features required for this
problem.

It is required to develop a graphics editor software package to create line drawings involving several
types of graphics entities. The graphics editor should support the following functionalities: • Creating
several types of geometric objects such as circles, ellipses, rectangles, lines, polygons, and texts
associated with them. • It should be possible to select an object by clicking a mouse button on the
object icon. This icon should be shown in a highlighted color. • Modifying various characteristics of an
object such as its shape, size, location, color, fill style, line width, line style (dashed, dotted, continuous),
etc. can be changed. For texts, the text content can be changed. • Copying or moving the selected object
to a different location, or deleting a selected object. • Saving the created graphics on the disk under a
user specified name. Loading a previously created graphics file from the disk. • Importing bitmap
pictures into specified positions in the drawing. • Defining a rectangular area on the screen and zooming
the area to fill the entire screen. • A fit screen function to make the entire created graphics fit the
screen by automatically adjusting the zoom and pan values. • A pan function to shift the displayed
drawing along any direction by a specified amount. • A grouping function to handle complex drawings. A
group can be formed by selecting a set of objects. A group can include other groups as well. A drawing
object can be a member of at most one group. A group behaves as a single entity for move, copy and
delete operations. • A set of 10 clip boards should be provided to which one can copy various types of
selected entities (including groups) for future use in pasting these at different places when required.
