- Instructions...
-
- Create a directory and copy all the distribution files there.
- Type 'YP' to run the program, the unregistered version displays a
- start-up screen, hit any key or click one of the mouse buttons
- after you have finished reading. You will notice a green panel
- with an assortment of tools, this is the main menu where most of
- the features of the program are selected.
-
- The various bottles are used to select different drawing
- colors. Starting at the second row, the first tool is used for
- freehand drawing, next is a line tool, followed by tools for
- creating squares and circles. Select the appropriate tool by
- simply pointing to it and pressing the left mouse button. To use
- any of these tools move the pointer into the drawing area and
- press the left mouse button. The line, square, and circle tools
- allow you to select the size before anything is drawn, simply
- hold down the mouse button and move the mouse to set the
- appropriate size, then release the button to draw.
-
- Next to the circle is a brush tool that is used to paint
- enclosed areas, this tool is especially fun to use because of
- the way it operates. Select the enclosed area you want to paint
- and press the left mouse button, you will notice a bouncing color
- filling in the empty area.
-
- Just incase you went a little overboard with the last tool,
- there is an "oops" tool to undo the last thing drawn or painted.
-
- The save tool is pretty much self explanatory, select it to
- save your drawing. A small window will pop up asking for a name,
- make sure to give a name you have not used before. If you don't
- another window will pop up informing you that you already used
- that name. Simply hit any key and select save again.
-
- To retrieve your picture use the get tool. A file menu will
- pop up with a list of file names. You can either point to the
- file or use the up/down arrows to select. Point to the "get"
- gadget to retrieve, or you can erase the file by selecting the
- "erase" gadget, or exit the file menu with the "exit" gadget.
-
- Next to the get tool is red door used for exiting the program.
- Just incase you selected this by accident a small window pops up to
- verify that you really want to exit.
-
- Below the save tool there are two yellow arrows, these are
- used to toggle the position of the menu from top to bottom
- position. Another tool with a similar feature is also located
- right beside it. This tool is used to hide the tool menu, you can
- press the right mouse button to reveal it again.
-
- The last tool "new" is used to clear the screen, just incase
- you have selected this by accident, press the "oops" gadget to
- retrieve your drawing.
