Version 2015/1.0 2015 Page 78
Menu: Windows 6.18.
6.18.1. Options
This menu and its sub-menus provide
direct access to the settings in
“Options” (described in 8, also
compare to 6.11.5 and the initial
settings in 2.8). It is also possible to
reset the window positions through
one of the sub-menus.
6.18.2. Special Functions
This menu item offers access to
special additional features of
Laserworld Showeditor. Some of
these special features can be very
helpful especially for the conversion
of ILDA. A click on the menu item
opens a dialog (Fig.62) to access the
features.
The most important tools are:
● “opt. Distance” can be used for
optimizing a figure. The optimization
works in combination with the “Path-
Tool” (See 6.18.9). First apply the
“opt. Distance”, then the “Path Tool”
. ”Opt. Distance” splits the distances
of a line into shorter pieces to sizes
that match the setting in Options-
>Optimize Output->Max. Distance
Laser ON
● “Change colors to Colortable
values”: If an ILDA file with custom
color palette is imported, e.g. from
Pangolin, this button allows for changing the color palette to the standard
Laserworld Showeditor one. After the conversion the ILDA file/frame is fully
compatible for further use in Laserworld Showeditor, including saving it as *.heb file.
● “Normalize RGB Point/Frame”: This feature enhances the color values of points to
achieve maximum brightness. The color values are thus adapted to the closest color
with at least one laser source on full power.
Two optimization options are possible: “enhance brightest point of frame to
maximum” or “enhance each point to maximal brightness”. Try the two versions on
the very frame to see the results.
