 Working with Objects: General Information

In addition to keys (the interactive, touch-sensitive areas of an overlay), Overlay Maker 3 enables you to include text boxes, frames, lines, pictures, and a background on a printed overlay.

Although a printed overlay with only keys on it is completely functional, these non-interactive objects are typically added to an overlay for identification, informative, and/or decorative purposes. Including these objects on the printed overlay can make it easier for an IntelliKeys user to understand, and interact with, what he or she sees on-screen.

For instance, you might include text in text boxes for instructions, titles, or captions. Brightly-colored lines and shapes could be added to attract a child's attention to specific parts of an overlay. Groups of related keys might be framed in a colored box. Pictures of on-screen images could be included to create a visually interesting overlay.
