3 Enter the rotation angle, in degrees, in the Angle text box. Enter a negative angle to rotate the object clockwise;
enter a positive angle to rotate the object counterclockwise.

To shear a graphic
1 Make sure the frame with the desired object is checked out to you, and then select the object using the Position
tool
.
2 Choose Object > Transform > Shear.
3 In the Shear dialog box, enter the new shear angle. The shear angle is the amount of slant to be applied to the
object, relative to a line perpendicular to the shear axis. (Shear angle is calculated clockwise from the current axis.)
4 Specify the axis along which the object is to be sheared. You can shear an object along a horizontal, a vertical, or
an angled axis.
If you choose an angled axis, enter the angle of the axis that you want, in degrees, relative to the x axis.
5 If the selected object is an inline graphics frame with content and you want the content to shear with the frame,
make sure that Shear Content is selected. This option is selected by default.

Controlling how graphics display
Displaying graphics
InCopy lets you balance the display quality and performance of graphics. It offers three display performance options:
Fast, Typical, and High Quality. These options control how graphics are displayed on the screen, but they do not
affect the print quality or exported output.
TheDisplay Performancepreferences letyou setthe defaultoptionusedtoopenall documents, as well as customize
the settings that define those options. Each display option has separate settings for displaying raster images, vector
graphics, and transparencies.
The display options are as follows:
Fast Draws a raster image or vector graphic as a gray box (default). Use this option when you want to quickly page
through spreads that have lots of images or transparency effects.
Typical Draws a low-resolution proxy image (default) appropriate for identifying and positioning an image or vector
graphic. Typical is the default option, and is the fastest way to display an identifiable image.
High Quality Draws a raster image or vector graphic at High Resolution (default). This option provides the highest
quality but the slowest performance. Use this option when you want to fine-tune an image.
