After you've selected a starting point to draw
RA YS, LINES,
FRAMES,
BOXES, CIRCLES,
or
DISCS,
"rubber
band"
Jines
follow your cursor
on
the TV
screen
as
you move your stylus around the Touch
Tablet, This allows you to see what your drawing will
look like
before
your
actually
"lay it in, "
If, after selecting
a
starting point, you decide you
don't
want
the Jine, box,
circle,
etc"
to
start there, you
can cancel it
by
Jifting
the stylus
off the
Touch Tablet
and pushing
any of the three
control
buttons
or
by
choosing
another
feature
by typing a key
on the
keyboard,
RAYS
Touch
your stylus
to the
tablet surface and press a
control button to select a starting point.
Release
the
button and slide your
stylus
across the
Touch
Tablet
surface
to create a "rubber band" ray, then press a
control
button again and swing the stylus across the
tablet surface,
Release
the button when you've
created
the effect you want.
The
actual spacing of the

selected
,
FILL
The cursor
indicates when
you are
in
"FILL"
by
dlsplaymg
FILL
beneath
it. Put
the
cursor
inside
the
area and
over
the color to be
changed,
Pixels
to be
filled must adjoin the starting pixel either
vertically
or
horizontall y,
Adclitionallnformation on the Features
After the starting pixel has been altered, an ad-
joining pixel
of
the same colors becomes the new star-
ting point.
The
process continues
until
all vertically or
horizontally adjoining p ixels are
changed,
Pixels
col-
ored differently
than the
original
pixel
remain
un-
changed,
A solid
color
can
be used
to
fill over another solid
color
but,
because diagonal pixels are
not
altered dur-
ing
a
FILL, FILL
can't be
used
to
fill
a solid color over
a pattern, which
is
comprised of
alternately
colored
pixels,
Conversely,
a pattern
can
be used to FILL
over
a solid
color,
The FILL
will not spread, or
"leak,"
through a
solid
line
that is a different color than the original pix-
el.
but even a one-pixel
hole
in a line
will
allow a
leak
,
When
a
leak
such
as the
one
shown
at
the top
of
page
12
occurs, you
can stop the
FILL
process by pressing
a
control
button on the
stylus
or
tablet. To repair the
damage caused by a
leak,
