Creating Drawings and Line Art

You can use the Graphics Environment to create simple or complex drawings, using a variety of drawing tools, pre-configured shapes, and color, pattern, texture, and transparency tools.

The real power of the Graphics Environment is in its flexibility. Using the Graphics Environment as the base document type gives you access to all of the tools available within gobeProductive, and allows you to treat any type of frame - graphics, word processing, spreadsheet, chart, or presentation - as a graphics object. You can rotate, shade, layer, and reshape items to create compelling documents, and mix different frame types to create such documents as newsletters, flyers, or training guides.
