Use and Care Manual

4. Select the color you would like to draw with (the darker colors will be printed

rst so that they can cook longer). The darkest colors work best for outlining

your image. We recommend drawing and painting all dark areas rst and then

working towards the lighter colors.

5. Click the “Line” icon which will allow you to draw by two methods:

• Free hand - Hold the left mouse button down to freely draw with your

mouse or trackpad. Releasing the mouse button or trackpad will end the

line.

• Polygon - Click once to create a node*, then move your mouse to the next

point and click the mouse button to create another node. Continue to

create a series of interconnected lines. Press the ESC button to end the

line.

6. If you would like to ll in areas of your pancake, make sure your shapes are

closed. When you have nished creating a shape and get back to your starting

point, you will see a small green circle over the starting point. Click inside the

circle to close your shape.

7. Select the color you would like to use to ll and then click the Fill tool.

8. Move the mouse to the area you would like to ll and click inside the area.

*Note: Nodes are added to every point where a line changes direction. These

nodes can be individually moved for precise adjustments. To delete or modify

lines, click on the Select tool and then click on the line you would like to delete

or modify in order to reveal the nodes. You can click and drag any node to a

different position or you can add nodes by clicking on a part of the line that has

no node. You can also click on any shape and press the delete key on the

keyboard to delete the shape. At this time, you cannot delete just one particular

node. However, the software is open source and we are continually working to

improve on it. Go to www.pancakebot.com for more information.
