Inserting points
The Insert tool
can be used to insert new points on an existing line (or area).
Select the Insert tool
from the Tools palette (note that the cursor appears as
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 form
, 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
, but the Insert tool
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).
