<h2>5.3 Mark objects</h2>
29
Mark's objects are useful to mark points in your drawing. They come with
30
different looks (little circles, discs, squares, boxes, or crosses).
31
Note that marks behave quite different from other objects. In
32
particular, you should not confuse a disc mark with a little disc
33
created as a circle object:
34
<ul><li>a mark only obeys the stroke color
35
<li>when you scale a mark, it will not change its size (you can change the
36
mark size from the configuration panel, though)
37
<li>the bounding box of a mark only contains the mark's center
38
<li>when you rotate a mark, it does not change its orientation
40
You can change a mark's type and size later.
41
<p>Sometimes you may wish you had a mark with, say, black boundary and
42
white interior (because you want to place it on some dark, but
43
irregular background). The best way to achieve this is to place
44
<em>two</em> marks, a white disc and a black circle on top of each other.
45
You could either group one such double-mark and then paste it to the
46
desired locations (the pasting mechanism will put the center of the mark
47
at the point location, so you can work as usual with marks), but you can
48
also just place the white discs. Then set <em>snap to vertex</em> on, and
49
place the black circles. Or you may want to install such a marker as
50
a <a href="manual_28.html">template</a>.
