Inserting points

The Insert tool tes00044.gif can be used to insert new points on an existing line (or area).

Select the Insert tool tes00045.gif from the Tools palette (note that the cursor appears as tes00046.gif on the screen). Click on the point on the line (which is then selected and highlighted) after which a new point is to be inserted.

When the cursor returns to its normal Plotting formtes00047.gif, click (or drag to) the position of the new required point. This is then on inserted on the line, following the initially selected point.

Note: once you have selected the insert point on the line (the cursor then appears as a Plotting tool tes00048.gif, but the Insert tool tes00049.gif is still selected in the Tools palette), you can use the keyboard to enter the position of points to be inserted in the cursor display (see paragraph Using the keyboard to enter positions in the chapter High level functions).
