CHAPTER 3
The editor of vector graphics whom Adobe Illustrator program is, allows to represent the image in the real display ? how it will be printed, i.e. with all parameters ??????? and filling, and in an initial (constructive) type ? how it is under construction, i.e. only in a planimetric type.
Speed of display on the screen in many respects depends on type of representation of images, especially what consist of thousand circuits and difficult filling.
To control an output of images in a working window of the program, it is necessary to address to menu View (Review). Mode Preview (Illustration) which displays all parameters ??????? and filling (fig. 3.1) is By default accepted.
Mode Outline (Circuit) provides display of all document in a planimetric type (fig. 3.2).
Mode Pixel Preview (Display in ????????) allows to present the image in that type as it is displayed in web browsers. At activation of this mode the vector image will "on the fly be transformed in pointwise (fig. 3.3).
Mode Overprint Preview (superimposing Display) is useful by preparation of the document to polygraphic execution as allows to see areas of superimposing of colors (overprint). More the detail information about superimposing of colors look in chapter 16.
In the program it is possible to fix also parameters of display and to use them as required.

For creation and saving of parameters of display it is necessary to use command New View (the New type) menu View (Review) which opens dialog box New View (the New type). In the field Name (Name) it is necessary to enter the arbitrary name or to accept offered by the program, for example. New View 1 and etc. Such "types" can be to 25.
All parameters of display saved thus are presented in the lower part of the list of menu View (Review) (fig. 3.4).
For switching-on of necessary display it is enough to execute an appropriate command or to push "fast" keys, for example, a keyboard shortcut [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Alt] + [1] which is automatically appropriated by the program to the first created type.
At any moment it is possible to change a name of "type" or to delete - it. For this purpose it is necessary to execute command Edit Views (to Edit types) menu View (Review) which opens the dialog box with the same name (fig. 3.5).

The same document simultaneously is presented in several windows, in other words, it can be possible to work simultaneously with several parts of the same image. It is very convenient, if display with different scale or in different modes is required, for example.
For discovery of a new window command New Window (the New window) menu Window (Window) is used.
Windows differ only with numbers in titles of working windows (fig. 3.6).

To have possibility to survey the image as a whole and at the same time confidently enough to work with small pattern elements, in the program function of reduction and magnification of images on the screen is provided. This function is implemented by means of tools of a special band in the lower part of the screen and a dial-up of menu commands View (Review).
To increase the image on the screen, it is possible to use one of following receptions.
| At switching-on of tool Zoom (Scale) the cursor takes the form some magnifying glass signed plus ( | |
| If needed to increase specific area of the image contour tool Zoom (Scale) demanded area by means of a dotted rectangle. For this purpose place the cursor in one of area corners, push the mouse button and, without releasing it, contour area. After mouse button release the selected area will be increased so the current working screen how much allows. | |
| If needed to include tool Zoom (Scale) for magnification in an operating time with any other tool it is enough to retain keys [Ctrl] + [Gap]. |

Nota Bene. The image on the screen can be increased by means of command Zoom In to (Increase) menu View (Review) which becomes inaccessible at achievement of scale of 6400 %. |
To reduce the image on the screen, it is possible to use one of following receptions.
| If to include tool Zoom (Scale) and to push a key [Alt] the cursor takes the form some magnifying glass a signed minus. It is necessary to place the cursor in center of the area intended for reduction, and to click the mouse button. Clicks can be repeated before demanded reduction. At achievement of minimum reduction (3,13 %) the cursor "loses" a minus and the image further does not decrease. | |
| If needed to include tool Zoom (Scale) for reduction by operation with any other tool it is enough to retain keys [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [npo6en]. | |
| The image on the screen can be reduced by means of command Zoom Out to (Reduce) menu View (Review) which at achievement of scale of 3,13 % becomes inaccessible. |
In the lower part of the screen the field of control in scale of the image in which it is possible to enter the arbitrary value of scale is allocated and to push I depend [Enter].
The real scale is designated by point 100 of %. This scale can be installed two more methods:
| To execute command Actual Size (the Real size) menu View (Review); | |
| Twice to click the button of tool Zoom (Scale) ( |
The necessary scale the program calculates itself if to execute command Fit In Window (the Whole document) menu View (Review) or twice to click the button of tool Hand (Hand) (
