Grid Specbox
Press the Gd-Lock button or the Grid
Mode button to enter
Item: Grid Overlay
Type: Toggle Bar
Desc: Switches on and off the Grid
Overlay system for use on the work
screen. Avoid switching it on with very
small grid sizes or else the control
response on the work screen will be
very slow. The size of the grid overlay
can be selected from the Size Option in
conjunction with Width and Height
selectors on the Grid Specbox.
Opts: All Grid Options (GS)
Item: Height
Type: Infobar
Desc: The value represented here
indicates the Height of one grid or
image square. This alters the height of
the current grid size selected with the
Size selector (left). This height also
refers to the height of an image used
by the Animate Studio.
Opts: Size (GS), Animate Size (AM)
Item: Place
Type: Icon Selector
Desc: When the Grid-Lock system is
switched on, the position of the cursor
can be set to the Centres or the
Corners (Point) of any grid square.
This option determines which of these
two is put into effect.
Opts: All Grid Options (GS), Gd-Lock
(MM)
Item: Size
Type: Icon Selector
Desc: Canvas supports up to 8 different
grid size presets to be stored in
memory. Each one has a user-defineable
Width and Height (use the Infobars to
the right to change the values). These
grid sizes also refer to the image
sizes used in Animation sequences, so
you can have images of any size!
Opts: All Grid and Image Options (GS),
Animate Size (AM)
Item: Swap Images
Type: Action Bar
Desc: By clicking on this option you
will be presented with the current work
screen. Drag the box (which is the size
of the current Width and Height values)
to an image and press the left mouse
button. You should then hear a ping.
Now choose a second image and do the
same thing. The two images should now
have been swapped around. Clicking the
right button at any stage in this
procedure will cancel the option and
return you to the Main Menu.
Opts: All Grid and Image Options (GS) &
(AM)
Item: Width
Type: Infobar
Desc: Same as Height but defines the
Width of the current Grid size.
