This is a page for canvas help
The “canvas” is where you create the ToC graphic of outcomes connected to one another in causal pathways. The canvas opens up when you open an existing TOCO file by clicking on the title in your file browser, or when you create a new TOCO file. Many operations on the drawing canvas are available on the Edit menu. These functions include creating new outcomes, comments, text boxes, titles, color legend, and the dashed accountability line. Here too are items for editing assumptions and the ToC narrative, and for switching from right-angled to straight-line connectors.

Editing and Moving Graphic Objects
To delete an outcome box, text box, comment, connector or curved line, right-click and select “delete” from the menu.
Outcome boxes may be moved by clicking and dragging; moving all other objects requires right-clicking on the object and selecting the “move” menu item. These include text boxes, the title box, comments, and the color legend. Once you have moved the object you must right-click again and select "edit" to update the content of the object.

There are two ways to move around the canvas: Grab the vertical or horizontal scroll bar handles and slide them. Click on the canvas (i.e., somewhere on the background grid rather than on any objects) and drag the canvas to the location you want. Creating and editing the TOC map requires frequent adjustments of the canvas size. There are two ways to zoom in and out: Use the zoom in/zoom out buttons to the left of the file menu. Or, use your mouse or keypad.
My ToCs File Directory
Files are searchable by file title or by user name
- Use the refresh button to reset the browser after a search - Directory lists filenames, user name, dates of file creation and last update.
The << icon at the top of the Directory, to the right of the search window, allows you to slide the directory panel out of view when you need more space on your screen to work on the canvas. To delete a file, select the file name, right-click, and select “delete ToC” from the menu.
