8.3.3. Rectangles

Rectangle: Depending on which style you choose from the Colors & Fonts bubble, your
Rectangle can be a solid darker color or very light. You can choose the shade that suits your
purpose by creating a Rectangle and then clicking through the styles. Pick the one that suits
your current presentation. Some uses for the Rectangle are as follows: topic heading, caption
under photo, defined background for a group of elements, a blank shape that represents a
box. To use the Rectangle tool, take the following steps.

i. From the Bubble menu, click Frame. Four bubbles present themselves.
ii. Click the Rectangle bubble and then click and drag on the prezi canvas to make a
Rectangle of the size you want, either around some object or on its own.
iii. If you double-click the Rectangle, the text editor allows you to place text right on it.
(See illustration below.) Then you can use the Transformation Zebra to move it,
resize it, or rotate it.

8.3.4. Hidden

This Frame is called Hidden because it isn’t visible after you enter into Show mode. Its
purpose is to group items without having the container be seen. It may be counterintuitive
to want to hide a Frame, but this tool gives you visual control that is very helpful. For
example, if you show a large graphic and want to point to a specific detail, you can put a
Hidden Frame around that detail and zoom right to it without interfering with the image as
a whole. It would look weird to put a visible Bracket around a small detail, but a Hidden
Frame does the trick and makes the layout of the grouped objects neater in show mode.

To use the Hidden tool, take the following steps:

i. From the Bubble menu, click Frame. Four bubbles present themselves.
ii. Click the Hidden bubble and then click and drag around a group of elements. (See
illustration below.)
iii. Click the Write bubble to bring the entire menu back into view and then click Show.
The Hidden Frame disappears, and you can now select the elements as one unit.

The above illustration depicts how the hidden frame groups objects and text boxes together
and displays it as a single entity when clicked upon in show mode. Notice the borders of a
hidden frame are invisible in show mode.
