1. The Edge Interface > The Edge Screen
The Edge Screen
Looks can be deceiving. The Edge screen is surprisingly clean and simple, but the interface hides some surprising power and sophistication.
Tools
In Edge Preview 2, the toolbox features four basic tools: Selection, Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, and Text. This toolbox may expand or change over time, but you’ll find descriptions of each of the current tools below.
The Selection tool is used to position elements within your stage and to target them as needed and to apply animation, transitions, transformations, and attributes.
The Rectangle tool draws rectangular components that are currently specified as div elements within the code. Upcoming versions of Edge may allow you to choose among various HTML elements as you can with text elements, or employ the HTML5 canvas specifications to create rich, native HTML graphical elements. Watch for updates to the toolbox.
