editor screen. Several functions are available, let us see know how to use them:

Basic tools

The basic tools are situated in the "Tools" area of the window. You can find the main functions

available in a bitmap designer and select a color for each fixture very quickly. Each fixture is

represented by a square on the left side. You can display the name of each of them by clicking on

"Display fixtures' identification". Several tools are available:

Select pixel and Select area: the first one allows to select fixtures one by one, the second allows

to select several fixtures simultaneously

Pen and Paint bucket: to paint one or several pixels with the selected colour

Line, Rectangle, Circle: to draw a line, a rectangle or a circle

Pipette: to pick a color from the fixtures area

You must use the colour picker to change the colour of the selected pixel(s). You can also enter the

RGB values manually.
