Two ways to make a petri dish are shown here. Select oval from Autoshapes/Basic Forms and make X1 and Y1. Use circle shape
make colonies (X2 and Y2) as shown at the right…reduce size and copy/paste to make multiple colonies. The medium in the
petri dish can be distinquished in Figure X by adding a line X3 using Autoshpaes/Lines. This line will have 3 yellow dots
which allow you to fine-tune your line to your petri dish. In Figure Y, 1 oval is made and copy/pasted: each oval is colored differently
to distinquish the medium..here green and top half of petri dish is light translucent yellow…select Fill Effect/ More Fill Colors from the
Drawing Toolbar and check to box at the bottom labelled Semitransparent. Bring the 2 halves together to form petri dish.
Move colonies to interface. Click/drag to select the group of objects and Draw//Group.
NOTE: Often when overlaying objects some may lie behind a larger object and become invisible. To cycle thru layers use SHIFT/TAB.
To change order of objects, eg bring an object forward in a stack or behind use Draw/Order from the Draw Toolbar
