A set of attributes that controls the appearance of a specific type of object. There are three style types: graphic styles, text styles (artistic and
paragraph), and color styles.
stylus
A pen device, used in conjunction with a pen tablet, that allows you to draw paint strokes. A pressure-sensitive stylus allows you to vary your
strokes with subtle changes in pressure.
subpaths (CorelDRAW)
Subpaths are the basic curves and shapes from which a single curve object is constructed.
subscript
Text characters that are positioned below the baseline of the other characters in a line of text.
subtractive color model
A color model, such as CMYK, that creates color by subtracting wavelengths of light reflected from an object. For example, a colored ink
appears blue if it absorbs all colors except blue.
super nudge
To move an object in large increments by pressing Shift and an Arrow key. The super nudge value is multiplied by the nudge value to obtain
the distance by which the object is moved.
See also nudge and micro nudge.
superscript
Text characters that are positioned above the baseline of the other characters in a line of text.
swap disk
Hard drive space used by applications to artificially increase the amount of memory available in your computer.
swatch
One of a series of solid-colored patches used as a sample when selecting color. A printed booklet of swatches is called a swatchbook. Swatch
also refers to the colors contained in the color palette.
symbol
A reusable object or group of objects. A symbol is defined once and can be referenced many times in a drawing.
symbol instance
An occurrence of a symbol in a drawing. A symbol instance automatically inherits any changes made to the symbol. You can also apply
unique properties to each instance, including size, position, and uniform transparency.
T
tangent
A straight line that touches a curve or an ellipse at a point, but does not cross the curve or ellipse at that point.
target object
The object you perform a shaping action on, such as welding, trimming, or intersecting with another object. The target object retains its fill
and outline attributes while copying these attributes to the source objects used to perform the action.
See also source object.
