ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

  DAUB is a new general purpose Windows vector graphics program.  Being
  'brush stroke' based and implementing many machine generated effects, this
  program is quite different from any other drawing program currently on the
  market.  It is continuously being developed and enhanced, both in the power
  of its features and in raw performance.


PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

ONE LINER:

  General Purpose Graphics Program for Windows.


SHORT DESCRIPTION:

  General purpose vector graphics program for Windows.  Simple or continuously
  changing 'brush'.  Selection of 'brush strokes' individually or in groups,
  for automatic reshaping and/or recolouring.  Support for text in any
  installed font.  Output on any printer that can print from Windows.
  Vector based graphics with EPS exporting capability for fully professional
  results (does not include EPS text in the current version).


LONGER DESCRIPTION:

  Whether you are a dabbler or a professional graphic artist, you need to have
  a look at DAUB. This unique Windows program offers ease of use and high
  quality output, at a fraction of the cost of other vector based graphics
  programs. Its novel method of drawing and altering previously drawn 'brush
  strokes' results in stunning graphics that can be made to look 'different'.
  Feaures include scaling in x and y directions, rotations, flipping, changing
  brush width, colour and orientation as you draw, altering previously drawn
  strokes in accordance with stroke length, curvature, slope etc., performing
  all the above on groups of strokes as well as individual strokes. Screen
  painting can be done in an approximate fashion, much like draft output on a
  printer, without affecting the detail of what is being drawn. Text is
  supported, and all installed fonts are available (including TrueType).
  Graphics can be stored on disk in DAUBs own format or in Encapsulated
  PostScript (EPS text not currently supported) for importing into high-end
  graphics packages. Graphics may also be copied to the Windows clipboard for
  pasting to other Windows applications. Printing is supported on any printer
  that can print from Windows.


KEY WORDS:

  Calligraphy, Shareware,  Windows, Graphics, Text, Brush, Drawing, Tool,
  Vector, EPS, Object, Artist.


PRODUCT FEATURES

  Although there are many painting and drawing programs available, a number of
  features make DAUB unique:

  1. It has a dynamic drawing ability which is quite different in the
     way it is implemented to anything else currently on the market.

  2. Good results can be obtained at a basic level, for example for
     solid colour calligraphy work.  For the more adventurous, or the
     professional trying to do something spectacular and 'different',
     DAUB is equal to the task with its 'path attributes' functions.

  3. Functions may be accessed quickly using tools, or in a precise,
     easy to use manner using the pull down menus.

  4. The product is being continually enhanced and extended.

  5. It offers very good value for money for registered users.
