effect with the active figure.
The textbox allows for
specifying the number of
frames to be drawn.
“Line Stretch for complete
frame” starts drawing the figure
in one point and then draws
the lines until the figure is
completed. Click “Apply” to
use the effect with the active
figure. The textbox allows for
specifying the number of
frames to be drawn.
If the option “Bidirectional” is
checked, the figure is drawn
line by line, and when it’s complete it is erased line by line again. (reverse order of
the drawing).
The option “use all frames of figure” is applicable for multiframe figures only. If this
option is checked, the next frame of the source figure is used for the next drawing
step.
The options “Line in, using increasing (decreasing) point number” are used to specify
the creation type of the figure. “Increasing” or “decreasing” defines the direction of
the process.
The options “Line out, using increasing (decreasing) point number” are used to let
the figure slowly disappear. “Increasing” or “decreasing” determines the direction of
the process.
6.18.11. Tool: Bitmap Trace
Tool
The Bitmap Trace Tool allows for
easy conversion of simple logos
and graphics to ILDA readable
files. The more complex the
picture, the more difficult is it for
the software to output a proper
result. Best results can be
achieved with using line
graphics.
Adaptions to the way
Showeditor interprets and
converts the pictures can be
made by adjusting the slider
settings in the tool window.
This is how it works:
