Object List

Displays a list with classes and objects. A class is the highest element in the list hierarchy under which individual objects are grouped. The currently displayed objects in the list are the ones of the selected class. All objects that are drawn into the image are always added to the currently selected class.

Double clicking the name of a class or object enables you to rename it (the Default class cannot be renamed, however). The individual objects have the same color as the class, in the list as well as the image viewer. A click into the color field of a class opens a window to select and change the color and the opacity (α value).
