Text

With these settings, you can set the text direction, anti-aliasing and the like when using the Text tool or when a Text layer is selected with the Object sub tool.

810_subtools_0099

(1)Text direction

Set the text direction to Vertical or Horizontal.

(2)Anti-aliasing

You can turn text anti-aliasing on or off, or set it to Canvas setting. When set to Canvas setting, the anti-aliasing matches the basic expression color setting of the canvas.

(3)Auto TateChuYoko (Horizontal in Vertical)

For scripts such as Japanese and Chinese, this setting displays half-width letters horizontally when text is written vertically.Set the number of letters to display horizontally from None, 1 letter, 2 letters, 3 letters and 4 letters.

When set to 2 letters, up to 2 half-width letters will be typed horizontally, and 3 or more half-width letters will be typed vertically.

(4)Use half-width punctuation marks

When turned on, blank spaces for punctuation marks such as two-byte punctuation marks or parentheses are automatically filled.

(5)Wrap text at frame

When turned on, text is wrapped so that it fits within the frame.

810_subtools_0100

When Wrap text at frame is turned on, the text will no longer adjust size to fit the frame.If there is too much text to fit within the frame, it will be cut off.You can drag the handles to resize the frame and show all of the text.

(6)Align frames

This is the setting for aligning the position of text.You can select Left, Center or Right for vertical text.You can select Up, Center or Bottom for horizontal text.

(7)Edge

For details, see "Adding a border".

(8)Edge color

Tap the color icon to open the Color settings dialog where you can set the color of the outline.

810_subtools_0168

(1)Text category

Select the type of special characters.Available characters will appear in the character list.

(2)Font

Select from fonts available in the font list.

(3)Character list

List of available characters.Tap to add to the current text.The available characters depend on the Text category and Font.

Texture

You can apply textures to brushes to simulate the look of different paper mediums.

810_subtools_0022

(1)Texture

Select the texture for the brush.Tap the button to open the Select paper texture material dialog, where you can choose the image material for the texture.

(2)Texture density

You can specify how strongly the texture will be applied.You can also tap the Dynamics icon to make the texture reflect changes in the pen pressure and brushstroke speed.

(3)Invert texture

You can apply the texture gradient to the brush with the shades inverted.

You can emphasize the difference in texture density.

(5)Scale ratio

You can specify the scale ratio of the image material when applied to a brush as a texture.

(6)Rotation angle

You can specify the angle of the image material when applied to a brush as a texture.

(7)Brightness

Adjusts the brightness of the image material.

810_subtools_0023

(8)Contrast

Adjusts the contrast of the image material.

810_subtools_0024

(9)Texture mode

You can set the blending mode of the image material.The effect depends on the texture material, hardness, and the brush density.

You can select Normal, Multiply, Subtract, Compare, Outline, Overlay, Color dodge, Hard mix, or Height.

Outline emphasizes the outline of the texture.You will see the effect at the outer edges of a soft brushstroke.Height emphasizes the texture only at the edges of the stroke.

(10)Apply by each plot

Turn this on to apply the texture to a drawing tool brush pattern (the tip of the brush). In this case, since the brush pattern overlaps in the central area of the stroke, the texture is also shown overlapped.When turned off, the texture is applied on a per-stroke basis.

Memo

The center of a drawn mark will get darker if you set Apply by each plot on with Emphasize density on, and the Hardness is set high in the Brush tip category.

Texture settings

You can adjust the position and size of textures applied to primitives selected with the Object sub tool.

(3)Keep aspect ratio

When this is turned on, textures will maintain their original aspect ratio when scaling.

(4)Position

The position of the texture can be adjusted with the Width (W) and Height (H) sliders.

Tiling

With these settings, you can set how to arrange repeating patterns when an image material layer or file object layer is selected with the Object sub tool.

Tap to move to the next keyframe with the Transform setting.Besides Transform, you can move Position, Scale ratio, Rotation angle, and Center of rotation keyframes.

(5)Position

You can change the position of layers and layer folders.The coordinates for the center of rotation for the transformation will be the reference position.

The coordinates for the center of rotation are measured in pixels from the top left of the canvas.The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal value, while the y-coordinate indicates the vertical value.

(6)Scale ratio

Set the scale ratio of layers and animation folders as a percentage of the original image.Ratios can be set separately for width and height.

However, when selecting a layer folder, 2D camera folder, gradient layer, or 3D layer, you can only edit the overall scale ratio.

Turn this on to scale up or down while keeping the aspect ratio of the layer or animation folder.

However, this option will not appear when selecting a layer folder, 2D camera folder, gradient layer, or 3D layer.

(8)Rotation angle

You can specify the image rotation angle with respect to the horizontal position.

(9)Center of rotation

You can set the center of rotation.The reference position is the center of rotation of the frame before being scaled or moved.

The coordinates for the center of rotation are measured in pixels from the top left of the canvas.The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal value, while the y-coordinate indicates the vertical value.

Memo

You can change the center of rotation position on the canvas by dragging and dropping the center of rotation icon.Even if the location or angle of the transformation frame is changed, you cannot change the center of rotation.

Transform mask

You can transform layer masks for layers and layer folders that have Enable keyframes on this layer turned on.To show the Transform mask, select a layer mask with the Object sub tool.

The settings are the same as transforming an image, but ir transforms the layer mask instead of the layer.
