The next section of the main dia
window begins with a choice
of sheets (i.e., shape libraries). Many are included by default and
new ones can be added (see Section 24.7).
Selecting one of the available sheets (by choosing from the pull-down
menu that is labelled UML for the Universal Modelling Language in the
above sample window) will display a collection of shapes associated
with the particular sheet. (The sample window includes the shapes
useful for drawing UML diagrams.) Some shapes, when selected and
placed onto the canvas, have text associated with them and will grow
in size depending on the text you type. An example is the Text box
button.
Increasing the height of the main dia
window will often
allow you to see all of the available shapes of any of the sheets at
one time.
