- - - - You can do three things when extruding shapes:
        
        Add material to create solid shapes
        
        Subtract material from solid materials
        
        Intersect other materials
- - - - They can be produced using
        
        inexpensive equipment.
        
        Low risk of hacking crimes.
        
        Freehand graphics are a quick
        
        and immediate way to
        
        record ideas.
        
        They can be produced 'on site'.
        
        They can be used to
        
        communicate with a client.
        
        Files can't be lost or corrupted by
        
        computer crashes.
        
        They are a good starting point for
        
        DTP work.
    - - They must be digitised to be sent electronically.
      - Some types are slower to produce.
      - They take up a lot of storage space compared to
        electronic files.
      - They can't be used to control manufacture
        machinery.
      - It is not easy to modify drawings without redrawing
        them physically.
      - Accuracy is dependent on the skill of the drawer;
        you can't zoom in to see it clearer.
      - Each graphic must be drawn separately.
      - They are normally produced on paper which has an
        impact on the environment.
  - - - You can use layers to make drawings easier to understand.
      - Scale and orientation can be easily changed.
      - A CAD library can be used to store commonly used parts for future drawings.
      - They take up very little physical storage space.
      - You can create multiple views from one drawing.
      - CAD drawings can be used to control CNC (computer numerically controlled) machines, making manufacture
        quick and accurate.
      - You can zoom in to get high accuracy.
      - CAD files can be emailed to others involved in the project.
      - Easily modified which saves time and money.
      - CAD files can be realistically rendered for promotional layouts.
      - Drawing standards ensure drawings are consistent.
      - Digital working reduces the amount of paper used which is good for the environment.
      - CAD models can be tested to see if the design works properly before the physical product is made which saves time
        and money.
      - CAD files can be animated for promotional videos.
    - - Computers can be the target of theft.
      - A computer virus can result in a loss of data.
      - Training is required when new software is introduced.
      - Computer systems require electricity to work: power cuts will shut down the system.
      - Initial investment in computer software and computers is required.
- - - - text wrap
        
        A feature where text flows around a graphic object.
        
        This keeps text close to graphics in an organised way.
      - flow text along a path
        
        Text can be made to flow along a line. The line is called a path.
        
        This can add contrast to a linear or rectangular layout.
        
        It creates visual interest.
        
        Curves can suggest movement on a page.
      - crop
        
        To delete unwanted parts of an image so that the result is more useful
        
        Cropping is used to edit the size and proportions of graphics used in DTP.
        
        Cropping is used to edit the size and proportions of graphics used in DTP.
      - reverse
        
        A lighter typeface on a darker background, such as white text on a black background, is reversed type.
        Allows text to be read, even on dark backgrounds.
      - drop shadow
        
        A shadow that lies underneath the main image of a layout.
        
        A drop shadow enhance the image without being noticeable
        It creates visual impact and gives the impression of depth in the layout.
      - transparency
        
        A measure of how see-through something is or how much light can pass through. Transparency is used most often in desktop publishing to refer to a graphic or paper.
        
        A graphic image in which the background appears to be invisible has 100% transparency.
        
        esigners will make a graphic transparent if they don’t want it to be the main focus of the publication.
      - bleed
        
        When any image or element on a page touches the edge of the page, extending beyond the edge, leaving no margin it is said to bleed.
        
        This allows for a more professional look.
        
        Gives a better feeling of depth
  - - - continous thin irregular
        
        Used as the limit to an
        
        interrupted view when
        
        an axis is not present.
    - - Used on Cu�ng
        planes.
- - - - used for comparing diffrent firgures
      - not good at showing flow
      - dont use if too many bars are reqiured
    - - read from left to right
      - allows easy comparisions
      - great for showing changes over time
    - - shows a division of a whole number or a complete thing
      - great for showing prenctetages adn fractions
      - dont use if segments are too small
      - dont use a over-complicated shape
    - - good for large amounts of precise data
      - allows easy compariosn of data
      - dsent show change over time
      - the last resort. only use when you cant make graph work
