##0 General Help This gadget has no helptext. ##10 The Draw Button <d> With this function you are able to paint directly into a project window. Drawing is possible with a brush or a pen. Many options of appearance are at your disposal. ##11 Polyline filled <F> For freedraw. Every point is connected with the next one by a line. For speed up, you can increase the pixel-current. The figure you have painted will be filled in the same style as the outline. ##12 The Line Button <v> To draw a line. The first click sets the beginning (let the left mouse button down!) and the release of the mouse gives the end of the line. Many options are at your disposal. Please open a project before you can draw anything! ##13 Curve <q> To draw a bezier-curve. The first click gives the startingpoint, the releasing of the left mouse button gives the endpoint. The next click gives the curve. Many options are at your disposal. Please open a project before you can draw anything! ##14 Filled box <R> You can paint a filled box. The first click gives the startpoint, the releasing of the left mouse button gives the end point of the box. Many options are at your disposal. Please open a project before you can draw anything! ##15 Filled ellips <E> To paint a circle or an ellipse. The first click gives the middle of the ellipse, the releasing of the left mouse button gives the appereance. Many options are at your disposal. Please open a project before you can draw anything! ##16 Filled Polygon Between every click will be a line. Click on the right mousebutton will close the polygon. Many options are at your disposal. Please open a project before you can draw anything! ##17 Fill <f> A click into a solid area will be filled with the actual color and mode. If "fast-fill" in the parameterbox is activated, Your brush is one pixel and your colormode is solid, fill is very fast - but undo does not work. Many options are at your disposal. Please open a project before you can draw anything! ##18 Cut Brush rectangular Here you can cut a rectangular brush. After cutting, it will appear in the brush box - at the next free position of the brush-queue. ##19 Cut Brush polygonial <n> Here you can cut a polygonial brush. After cutting, it will appear in the brush box - at the next free position of the brush-queue. ##20 Cut Brush freehand <N> Here you can cut a freehand brush. After cutting, it will appear in the brush box - at the next free position of the brush-queue. ##21 Clear Screen The actual project will be cleared in the actual (selected) color. Special shortcuts: clears with white <K> clears with black <k> ##22 Text <t> This item pops up a text-requester. After typing in a text, XiPaint renders a Brush with the desired text. This will appear in the brush box. ##23 Get Airbrush <,> After clicking on this gadget, you are able to get the new size of an airbrush. Do this like painting an ellipse. Special shortcut: If you need a One-Point-Pen (for filling ...) you will get it with the key '.'. The actual pen will changed with the new one. ##24 Undo Withdraws each step you have done - if your system has enough memory. If you are low on memory, you can free the undo-queue with "free undo" in the menu bar. the undo-buffer is limited in XiPrefs. ##25 Redo Draws each step you have undoed. ##26 Magnify <m> Opens a new window with a magnified cut of the actual project. There you can paint like in a normal project-window. ##27 Lighttable <a> This button switches the light table mode on and off. Once this mode is activated you can see not only the current screen but also the background buffer behind it at a lower intensity. You may work as usual effecting only the current screen. Switching off the lighttable mode you will once again see the current screen in full saturation. When using the zoom function the light table mode is not available and cannot be activated, turn the zoom mode off and then reselect the light table mode. ##28 Pen <Amiga-P> Opens the Pen-box with the Pen-Queue. ##29 Brush <Amiga-B> Opens the Brush-Box with the Brush- queue. ##30 Style <Amiga-T> This menu allows you to set the the type of text that is rendered by the text gadget. ##31 Mask <Amiga-M> The Mask function is one of the most powerful features of a computer paint program. In the world of material art the ability to mask off portions of an image is used by airbrush artists, professional photographers, printers, and even sign makers. With the help of the mask function it is easily possible to separate a person from any type of background or even to change the color of the sky from blue to orange. One of the more difficult features to master but one of the most rewarding! In the first line of this requester you determine the kind of mask you wish to use by the two buttons located at the top of the screen. By selecting ´Non' you turn all mask features off. If for example you want to change only one color in your image but it is interspersed you should choose ´One'. And if you prefer to work with a Color Look Up Table choose ´CLUT'. To select a certain color out of the color range, select ´Hue'. You may also build masks using ´Value' or ´Saturation' masks, these masks work using the selected brightness or saturation. ##32 Zyklus <Amiga-Y> This window allows you to adjust the colors of a cycle range. ##33 Gradient (Shade) <Amiga-U> This is the select gradient gadget. it is used to cause all the available tools to draw using a gradient and the colors designated in the palette and gradient requesters. Quite a few parameters modify how this function works. The palette requester uses the five color swatches as the gradient colors. The gradient select requester allows you to specify how many colors are used and their position. We highly recommend that you experiment with the different gradient tools so that you will become familiar with their operation. ##34 Shadow <Amiga-H> The shadow function is designed to be used in conjunction with brushs and pens. This gadget not only allows you to select the degree of shadow but also it's placement and type. ##35 Palette <Amiga-C> Opens the colorbox. Here you can choose and mix your desired colors. ##36 Grid <Amiga-G> This menu is used to adjust the drawing grid. Enter the width and height of a desired grid and the offset from the left border and the top. The offset indicates where the first line of the grid starts. An individual grid switches the grid on and off without losing the grid data. ##37 Info To get information about the program, the version, and the authors, click this gadget. ##38 Help--System <Help> Put the mouse over a gadget. Then press the help-button.

Then press the help-button. A Window will open and give you information about this button. ##51 Draw <D> Draw a continuous line freehand. ##54 Rectangle <r> The symbol for rectangles is next. This symbol has two functions. If you click the top half of the symbol, you get filled rectangles. If you click the lower half, you get only the outline of a rectangle. ##55 Ellipse <e> If you click the top half, you will get filled ellipses. If you click the lower half, you will get the outlined ellipses. When using brushes other than a single pixel in size this operation may take some time The bigger the brush, the longer the operation! ##56 Polygon This symbol represents a polygon. It works just like the rectangle. If you click the lower half, you can draw the outline of a polygon. If you click the top half, you can draw filled polygons. Click the mouse once to mark the first edge of the polygon. A rubber band effect will be connected to the first point from the mouse pointer. The next mouse click marks the next edge of the polygon. You may close the polygon by either clicking the starting point again or by pressing the right mouse button which will fill the area between the first and last mouse clicks. ##260 Grid on/off <Return> Switch on/off the grid. ##262 Width <w> Gives the width of the grid. ##263 Height <h> Gives the height of the grid. ##264 X-Offset <x> Gives the startingpoint of the grid.
