DAUB Dynamic Brush - Calligraphy in Windows
-------------------------------------------
Whether you are a dabbler or a professional graphic artist, you need to
have a look at DAUB. This unique calligraphic 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 would be hard to reproduce exactly using any other package.
Features 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. A unique feature is the smoothing function which can
transform shaky hand input into beautifully smooth and flowing brush
strokes on the screen. All the above can be performed on groups of
strokes as well as individual strokes.
A set of fully adjustable guidelines, both horizontal and vertical, is
available for calligraphers. These lines rescale themselves
automatically depending on the size of the selected brush.
Text is supported, and all installed fonts are available (including
TrueType). Text can be scaled and rotated in the same manner as the
brush strokes. Basic shapes such as ellipse, rectangle and rounded
rectangle are also supported, and have variable line size, line colour
and fill colour.
Graphics may be copied to the Windows clipboard in Windows MetaFile
format for pasting to a very wide range of other Windows applications.
Full colour and sharply defined output can be achieved on any good
colour Windows printer. For black and white work, laser printed output
is razor sharp.
NOTE: DAUB may be completely uninstalled by simply deleting the
directory into which you installed it. Unless you specify otherwise
(during installation), this directory will be C:\daub
