****THIRD CONTROL PANEL****
MIRROR
Select whether vertical or horizontal. The entire area enclosed
by the selector-rectangle will be mirrored. This does not give
a free-moving block copy: the picture is affected directly.
CURVE
Set the frequency (how many bends) along the horizontal axis; and
the amplitude (how pronounced the rippling is to be). The entire
selected area will count in the distribution of the bends.
KINK
Select the type of kinking, and its degree. A factor as small as
0.5 can have a big effect.
PROJECT ONTO CYLINDER
Select an area with the selector-rectangle. Then left-click again
this time on the picture at the point where the central front top
of the cylinder is to be. Move the cursor outwards and up or down
from this point, to set the radius and forward tilt angle of the
cylinder. Left-click when finished, and soon a cylinder appears
with the selected block wrapped around it.
PERSPECTIVE
This can be a pretty drastic effect, and there is no 'undo' for it
so it may be wise to copy the picture to another screen beforehand.
The angle of the guidelines can be widened or narrowed, and their
convergence-point moved upwards or downwards. When the location is
satisfactory, click the mouse. Perspective projection is a slow
process, but the distorted picture eventually appears. The entire
picture is projected.
LASSO
The lasso is made up of a series of straight lines, each initiated
by a mouse-click; form an outline round the specific item or area
you wish to be copied. Right-click to finish. The copy appears
and is movable; locate and fix with a left-click.
'R' (BLACK TO FILL PATTERN)
The black lines and areas within the selector-rectangle are
changed into the currently selected fill-pattern. White lines and
areas are not affected.
OUTLINE
Converts a line into a double-line; it is a copy which is changed,
so move the outlined copy into place and fix with a left-click.
BOLD
Black lines are thickened, as are the outer edges of black shapes.
A copy; can be very effective on large but thin-lined letters.
BLOCK SHIFT
Select an area, a copy of which will be fixed into the picture at
the position you have chosen in this function's own control box.
DIVIDERS (MEASUREMENT)
Left-click on a starting point, then on an end point; the program
will tell you the distance between them in pixels.
