magnified
by placing the

place
the stylus at
the
right edge of the tablet surface and
slide it left. Repeat this touch-and-slide manuever to
pull the picture across your screen until you reach the
position you want.

feature when you want to create identical
shapes-a frame, box, or whatever. You can create
duplicate images horizontally, vertically, diagonally
,
or

on the

sets of "rubber
banded" boxes.
Moving the

creates
mirrored
boxes overlapping
each other.
Press
a control button again
to
crystalize
the
mirrored "windows."
