About the Custom Billboard Editor
WiseScript Editor Reference
The tools you need to work in the Custom Billboard Editor are accessible from its menu
bar or the icons on the toolbar.
The Custom Billboard Editor provides a basic set of drawing tools for creating billboards.
You can create scalable, vector-based artwork that can be added to the billboards and
displayed during installation. Although you can import graphics created in other drawing
programs, there are advantages to using the Custom Billboard Editor. Example: The
Scale to Screen option can resize native billboard objects so they look the same
regardless of the resolution of the destination computer.
In the Custom Billboard Editor, you can move, rearrange, recolor, or resize all objects.
(Example: Text remains editable once it has been added, making it easy to translate
your billboards into multiple languages.) If you import bitmaps created in other
programs, you can still use the Custom Billboard Editor to place other objects (example:
editable text) over them.
The Custom Billboard Editor includes a blue work area with black lines marking the
boundaries of a monitor set for 640 x 480 resolution. The blue work area indicates that
the background is transparent, so any objects you place here appear over whatever
background is displayed by the installation.
When you save a billboard from the Custom Billboard Editor, you are saving the entire
blue screen area, including the text, lines, shapes, and graphics that are on the screen.
When you save a billboard as a separate file, it is assigned the extension .GRF.
