Using The Popup Draw Tool - AMX MIO-R4 Operation/Reference Manual

Working With Popup Pages
The minimum size for popup pages is 15 pixels in height or width.
You can also set the dimensions manually by dragging the sizing handles on the Popup. To resize
the Popup manually, you must first enable the Show Popup Pages option in the Page menu. Once the
Popup is displayed on the page, you can click and drag the red handles on the Popup to resize it
manually.
Note that once you resize the Popup on the page, any time you display the Popup (via the Page >
Show Popup Pages option), the Popup will retain the dimensions specified, regardless of the page
that you display on.

the Workspace Navigator in the Pages folder, under the project to which the popup was added, as the

Because the RGB Color palette supports more colors than the Palette Index, you
might see some slight variation in some colors if you switch from the RGB Color
palette to Palette Index. In most cases, any variation that occurs in the translation is
extremely subtle, since TPDesign4 tries to match the color exactly.

Using the Popup Draw Tool

The Popup Draw tool allows you to draw Popup Pages directly onto a page. The technique is similar to
drawing a button, and the result is the same as through standard means:
1. Select Edit > Popup Draw Tool (or click the toolbar button) to activate the Popup Draw tool.
To access the Popup Draw toolbar button, click and hold the Button Draw tool (in the
Selection/Drawing Tools toolbar) for one second to open the drop-down menu
containing the Popup Draw tool.
