The standard Draw toolkit

The standard Draw toolkit contains these tools:

The Select tool is the main tool you'll use in the Drawing Window. It's a good idea to keep the Select tool chosen, because it's the tool you'll use most often, and also because it's a fairly 'safe' tool with which it's quite difficult to accidentally change the scene.

The Pan tool pans around the Drawing Window. This works just like any other Animo 2.0 pan tool: simply choose the tool, then drag the window until it is panned to the position you require.

You can also pan by dragging with the middle mouse button, whichever tool you're using.

The Zoom In tool zooms in the Drawing Window. You can:

Click where you wish to zoom; the window zooms in by a fixed amount.

Drag a bounding box around the region you wish to view; the window zooms in to show all of your region.

The Zoom Out tool zooms the window out by a fixed amount about its center. Just click on the tool; the window zooms, and the last tool you were using is reselected.

The Scaling tool alters the scaling of images, provided you have included an appropriate node in the Scene Graph. See Setting the scaling in the Drawing Window.

The Rotate tool alters the rotation of images, provided you have included an appropriate node in the Scene Graph.

The Open Toolkit tool opens different Drawing Window toolkits with additional tools. These toolkits are used for specific tasks; see Using path mode, Vector mattes, and Using paths.

The Standard Toolkit tool returns you to using the standard Draw toolkit.
