The Paint Window
The Paint window contains several elements similar to the document windows in
other applications. The main elements of the Paint window are the drawing area, the
Home tab on the Ribbon, the Paint button, the Tools group, the Colors group, and the
status bar, as shown in Figure 5-16.
Drawing area — The drawing area is where the image is displayed.
Home tab — The Home tab on the Ribbon holds tools and commands most frequently
used to create and edit images.
Paint button — The Paint button to the left of the Home tab contains a drop-down arrow
to access functions such as Open, Save, and Print that were on the File menu in earlier
versions of Windows.
Tools group — The Tools group on the Home tab displays tools that are used to edit or
draw an image. In this project, the Pencil tool in the Tools group is used to find the x- and
y-coordinates of the text used as a navigation bar on the image.
Colors group — The Colors group on the Home tab displays a palette of colors that
can be used to set the colors of the foreground, the background, or other elements in a
drawing.
Status bar —The status bar displays the coordinates of the center of the mouse pointer at
its current position on the image.
