RE: what is the difference between Send to back and Send backwards ? (and same for front)

["Jordans, R." <R Jordans tue nl>]

Hi Cristi,

The visibility of objects is determined by their ordering. An object can block the sight of another  if it is 
in front of the other.

Send to Back puts the object at the last position in the ordering (behind all others) while send Backwards 
moves it one step to the back. The same holds for Bring to Front and Send Forwards.

You can only notice the difference in effects when you have more than 2 objects overlapping.

I hope this expains it clearly enough.

Cheers,
Roel

In Options menu there are two pairs of quite the same things:

Send to Back
Bring to Front
Send Backwards
Bring Forwards

What is the difference between the first two and the last two ?
I need to know this rather for translation, but is always good to
know ...

Thank you,
Cristi
