In this chapter, you learned a lot about the standard non-interactive objects of Captivate. Although very simple to use, these objects are the fundamental building blocks of every single eLearning project that you will build with Adobe Captivate.
Among the objects you studied in this chapter, one of them stands out. The Smart Shape object lets you draw custom or predefined shapes in your project. These shapes can be used in such a wide variety of situations that they can advantageously replace the Text Caption object in most situations.
Another important object is the Image object. You have learned that there are two very different types of images. Bitmap images contain a fixed number of pixels and are therefore designed for a predefined size. SVG images contain vector paths and shapes used by the computer to regenerate the picture each time its size changes. SVG images are therefore resolution-independent and very lightweight.
Now, let's be honest. You are not there yet...
