About Pop-up text
To explain about displays and controls on each screen, Pop-up text is used.
Pop-up text is a small text box displayed when you point to a particular area (such as a control button) with the mouse cursor, and then click.
Underlined terms in the text also generate pop-up text explanations. (In addition, some underlined sections are hyper linked to a different section of the help.)
Where pop-up text is available in illustrations, such as those for copying or controlling the display, JavaScript is used. If JavaScript is deactivated in your PC's browser, an alternative text is shown, rather than the pop-up.
The cursor changes to a finger tip when placed over an area where pop-up text is available.
In some illustrations, pop-up text is not used; instead, explanatory text is put directly on screen shot or the explanation appears in a call-out balloon.
Image file (still/moving images) and frame
A Still image is an image having a jpg, bmp or png extension or other image format compatible with Image Converter. Still images are made from a single image, such as a photograph or an image created in a drawing program.
Moving image is an image having an avi extension or other format compatible with Image Converter. It is made up of multiple images (frames), and is a type of video image.
A Frame signifies the unit for an image (called a source image) which will be modified/edited with Image Converter into still and moving images.
A single still image, as a source image, makes up a frame. By performing various operations, such as cutting out images on a source image to create multiple images, and modifying them in various ways, such as adding animation, you can create an image that is displayed on an audio panel (which we will call panel animation image or sometimes just image or animation). In this case, a multiple frame panel animation image is made up from a single source image.
A moving image is composed of multiple still images, which make up the respective frames. In this Help system, the word frame is used, but it is equivalent to individual images making up a moving image.
