one-point perspective
An effect created by lengthening or shortening one side of an object to create the impression that the object is receding from view in one
direction.
opacity
The quality of an object that makes it difficult to see through. If an object is 100 percent opaque, you cannot see through it. Opacity levels
under 100 percent increase the transparency of objects.
See also transparency.
open object
An object defined by a path whose start point and end point are not connected.
origin
The point in the drawing window at which the rulers intersect.
orthogonal
A view of an object that is perpendicular to one plane. A cube appears as a square since only one plane is visible.
output resolution
The number of dots per inch (dpi) that an output device, such as an imagesetter or laser printer, produces.
outline
The line that defines the shape of an object.
overexposure
Excessive light in an image that gives it a washed-out appearance.
See also exposure.
overprinting
Overprinting is achieved by printing one color over another. Depending on the colors you choose, the overprinted colors mix to create a new
color, or the top color covers the bottom color. Overprinting a dark color on a light color is often used to avoid registration problems that
occur when color separations are not precisely aligned.
See also color trapping, choke, and spread.
P
paletted color mode
An 8-bit color mode that displays images of up to 256 colors. You can convert a complex image to the paletted color mode to reduce file
size and to achieve more precise control of the colors used throughout the conversion process.
pan (Corel DESIGNER)
To move the drawing page around in the drawing window. Panning changes the page view in the same way that scrolling moves the
drawing up, down, to the left, or to the right in the drawing window. When working at high magnification levels where not all of the
drawing is displayed, you can quickly pan to see parts of the drawing that were previously hidden.
PANOSE font matching
A feature that lets you choose a substitute font if you open a file that contains a font not installed on your computer. You can make a
substitution for the current working session only, or you can make a permanent substitution, so that the new font is automatically displayed
when you save and reopen the file.
PANTONE process colors
The colors that are available through the PANTONE Process Color System, which is based on the CMYK color model.
paragraph text
A text type that allows you to apply formatting options and directly edit large blocks of text.
