One More Great-Looking Documents Post – Shapes
又一篇关于“精美文档”的文章——图形

A few weeks ago I posted a series of articles about great-looking documents.  I have had a few questions about shapes since I wrote those posts, so I thought I would write a quick post on changes to shapes in Excel 2007 (and Office 2007 really – anything I write here applies to all the apps).
几周前我发布了关于“精美文档”的一系列文章，在那之后，我收到了一些有关图形的提问，所以我想我要尽快撰写有关于Excel 2007里图形的变化(包括Office 2007，所有我在这里写的都能适用于所有的Office应用)的文章。

Much the same way that charts were improved (new great-looking visuals, results-oriented ribbon UI), shapes have been improved as well.  Here is a summary of the changes, which fall into a number of categories.
我们已经知道，2007版本里面的图表在许多方面进行了改进(如新增漂亮的可视化效果，效果生成向导的用户界面)，同样的，图形方面也进行了与此相似的改进。下面是这些变化的总结，可以分为几种类型。

1. New graphics effects and options – like charts, shapes will look a lot better in Excel 2007 … in fact, charts are built using shapes in Excel 2007, so the improvements in shapes and charts in this area are identical.  Specifically,
· Better shadows
· Better gradients
· True 3D effects
· Glow
· Soft Edges
· Reflections
· Picture recoloring
· New shapes
1， 全新的图形效果和选项：与图表一样，图形在Excel 2007当中会漂亮许多……事实上，在Execl 2007当中图表正是由图形所构成的，所以从这个范围来讲，图形和图表的改进是相同的。特别是以下方面：
· 更好的阴影效果
· 更好的渐变效果
· 全真3D效果
· 光亮效果
· 边缘柔化
· 反光效果(译者注：或作倒影效果)
· 图片重新着色
· 全新的图形

Here is a shot of some shapes to give you an idea.  I have amped up the visual effects intentionally to show off what is possible.  Note – you can see the Shapes gallery on the Insert tab that lets you pick from the shapes.
下面是一个截图例子，可以使你对图形有个大致的理解。我有意将其中的可视化效果放大，看看到底能做到怎样。注：你可以在“插入”标签里看到图形库，在那里你可以选择你要在文档中插入的图形。

2. Use interface improvements – shapes now get their own contextual tab and a number of galleries, which makes it easier and faster to get the result you want.  Specifically,
· Integration into the Ribbon makes formatting of shapes faster and easier
· Integration with “live previews” makes it easier to see the result of formatting before it is applied (see here for more info on live preview)
· New Formatting Dialogs expose detailed options more clearly and consistently, and which allows modeless application of changes
2， 用户界面的改进：图形现在有了它们自己的体系标签以及许多分类图形库，这使得你能够更便捷的得到你所想要的。特别是在以下方面：
· 图形标签整合进了Ribbon工具栏使得图形的生成更方便更快捷。
· 加入了“活动预览”功能，使得图形在被确定应用以前可以方便的看到它生成后的效果。（点击这里可以看到关于活动预览的更多信息）
· 全新的图形生成对话框列出了更清晰更连贯的明细选项，通过这些选项，你可以对图形进行非标准化的修改应用。

Here is a shot of the ribbon and one of the modeless dialogs to give you an idea as to what all that looks like.

3. Shape styles – in the same way that cells, Tables, charts, and PivotTables now support styles that pull their colour, font, and effects information from a document theme, meaning it is easy to have your shapes match the rest of your document content.
3，图形样式：与单元格、表格、图表、数据透视表一样，图形现在也可支持来源于某个文档主题的样式，包括颜色、字体、以及效果等信息，这就意味着你可以更方便的使得图形与你的整个文档相匹配。
