Erasing
Here are a set of tools for removing drawings from the screen.
Removes the last thing you drew. You have up to 99 “levels of undo,” where
you can undo up to 99 drawn objects in the order that you drew them.
When you use the Undo button, the button will split into two parts:
Undo and Redo . Each time you click Undo , the system will remove
another drawn object from the screen, proceeding in order from
most recent back. Clicking Redo will bring the most recently undone object
back again. If you Undo something, then draw something new, the new
drawing replaces the original drawing.
The Clear button removes all drawing from the video screen. Clear may also
be un-done and re-done with the Undo and Redo functions.
To use the Erase tool, you may use either the right mouse button (except
with the Slide tool), or the flip-side of a drawing tablet pen.
Snapshot
The Snapshot button saves what you’ve drawn on a video. When you next
open the video, the drawing you saved will be recalled automatically. The Undo and
Redo commands work with the recalled drawing. It’s possible to use snapshot with a
“clear” video. When you next open the video, any drawing will be removed.
If you open a video which has not yet had the Snapshot tool used on it, any drawing
currently on the video window will remain.
Line Styles
The width buttons determines the width (or thickness) of the
pen used by the majority of drawing tools.
The arrow buttons choose whether or not one or two
arrowheads are added to the ends of your lines and angles.
The selected color button determines the color of the pen used by the majority of
drawing tools. If your mouse or pen has a third or “middle” button, it may be used to
cycle through the color palette.
