The program was initially written for personnal use in creating graphics and manipulating them however I wanted to and because of this, there is no help function. Everything is menu driven with only a couple of exceptions.
It matters not where you save the program to or on which drive. Install it throung the system screen as per normal.
Controls:
The cursor keys move the pointer around the screen.
Help will make your pointer more visible.
Q - Draws a black pixel
A - Draws a grey pixel
Z - Draws a clear pixel
The Diamond key will zoom in on a marked area.
Drawing lines, filling areas in, inverting, changing colours around, zooming in and out, scrolling areas, cutting areas of the screen, are all accomplished by marking one point eg one corner, and moving the cursor to the opposite corner.
Eg. To draw a rectangle, move the cursor to where you want one corner to be and select 'set marker' in the coords section of the menu bar. Then, move to where you want the opposite corner and select 'rectangle to marker' from the draw menu.
The same principle is used for filled boxes, lines, zooming cutting etc.
Some functions will effect the whole screen, such as flip in the x plane or y plane, change colours. If you wish to only flip a certain section, then zoom in by marking the area first, and then flip the picture.
To zoom in mark one corner and position the cursor at the opposite corner. You can zoom in again and again using this process.
To zoom out, make sure there is no marker and press zoom. It will take you back out to the true size.
To scroll/shift part of the picture in any direction by any amount, mark the area in the same way, and press 'control' and the arrow corresponding to the direction you want to shift that section.
Unless you have set the dimensions for bigger than a quarter of the screen, you will have a blown up view of the picture on the left or top of the screen, and the true size picture in the bottom right. The cursor appears on the blown up picture as a square, outlining the pixel. A marked square is shown by four small dots on the corners of the pixel.
When you are working on a picture larger than a quarter of the screen, there is no blown up picture to work on, and there is no visible cursor, other than pressing help to see the position of it. The zoom function can be very helpful here.
The rest, I think and hope is pretty easily understandable, but should you have any problems or queries, mail me (INVERSE)
Also let me know if you think of any extra functions which would be useful. At the moment I am working on a flood fill function and a gradiated fill function.
