This chapter covers the details of editing the shapes and other elements you can add to your screenshots and images in SnipSVG. See Editing Images for details on editing the images themselves.

Additional editing tips

These editing tips can be used for all elements and bitmap images:

Magnetic elements

In addition to the snapping and grid settings in the general preferences, you can also make all elements "magnetic" so that they snap to the picture frame. The main image (for example your screenshot) is always magnetic and will snap to the picture frame as soon as it comes near to it.

To make other elements magnetic, select Position, Size & Name in the right-click context menu and activate the Magnetic checkbox:

Adding HTML links and JavaScript to elements

You can add an HTML hyperlink or a snippet of JavaScript to be executed when the user clicks on any element or image in your picture. Note that this is only supported in HTML pages, not in PDF files. This will also only be saved when you save your image as a SnipX or SVG file.

Select the element in your picture, then add the link or JavaScript in the Link To section of the Formatting Panel:

Hyperlinks:
Always include the http:// or https:// prefix for links.

Javascript:
You can add as much script as you like but it must all be on a single line.
