and the portion outside the border is unaffected. When an object is completely
inside the crossing window, it is affected as if the MOVE command were used.
Figure 5.32 shows the result when the top portions of the objects in a drawing
are selected and stretched. The far-left image shows a crossing selection window
encompassing the entire top portion of the objects, and the middle-left image
shows the result of stretching the object upward. The middle-right image shows
a crossing selection window encompassing only the right half of the top portion
of the objects, and the far-right image shows the result of stretching the object
upward. Some objects, such as circles, ellipses, and blocks, cannot be stretched.
