Additional Infonnation on the Features
The 12 pre-designed
color
patterns at the bottom
of the TV screen
are
included in the Color Menu to
allow
you
to change their color
or
brightness using the
Color and Level
guides.
But you can't select the pat-
terns for use in a drawing from the Color
Menu-you
can
do that only from the main
menu
.
If,
when
using
a
feature
on your
picture, nothing
appears
on the
screen, make certain the
color you're
currently
using
is not
the same
color
as the
screen
background
you're attempting
to draw onto.
Also included in the Color Menu are four other
features that enhance your ability to control the color
in
your
pictures. Remember, these features
work
only
after you've selected
the Color Menu-if
you
forget to
move
to
the
Color Menu and
type
R,
for
example,
you'll select
RAYS,
not
Rainbow
(see
below).
Adding a Rainbow to Your Pictures
R) Rainbow Color lets
you
add a pulsating rainbow
of color
to your pictures. The rainbow
will
appear only
in sections of
your
drawings that
were
drawn in the
color
register
you're
currently using.
To create a rainbow enclosed in a box, for
exam-
ple, use the stylus and a control button to select color
register 2 and BOX (or type
2
and X
on your
keyboard)
from the
main menu
, then move to the e lec-
tronic canvas by lifting the stylus from the tablet
sur-
face and pressing a
control
button or the space bar.
Draw
a
box filled
with
the
color from
register 2 by
touching the stylus to the tablet surface and pressing a
control b
utton,
then sliding
the
stylus to a
second
point
(you'
ll
see the
"rubber
band" lines
follow your
stylus)
and pressing a control button again to see the box
ex-
pand
with
color.
Now, call up the Color Menu- it's easiest to simply
type C on
your
keyboard to
go
directly from the pic-
ture to the Color Menu, but
you
can return to the main
menu
Gift
the
stylus and
press a control button
or the
space
bar), then
select
the Color Menu by moving the
cursor
over the Color
Menu
box and pushing a control
b utton
.
Use the stylus and
a
control
button to select
Rainbow Color (or type R
on your
keyboard) to
automatically
move to
your picture.
The box
you
drew
will pulse
with a
rapidly
changing
array
of colors.
Returning the Color Registers to Their Original Color
D) Default Colors lets
you
return all of the color
registers to their original-or defa ult-color after
you've
changed the Color
and
Level
guide settings.
Use
your
stylus
and a control button
to
select
Default
Colors or type
D
on your
keyboard to return the Color
and
Level arrows
to
their respective default
posi-
tions-
O and 0 for register 0, 2 and 8 for register 1, 12
and
10
for
register 2,
and 9 and 4 for register
3.
