Creating A New Frame
PandoFrame works by displaying pictures in frames. Each frame consists of a picture and a frame. To create a new frame choose “New Picture Frame...” from the “File” menu. You will then be asked to select the picture you wish to display in the frame. Note: You cannot have a frame that does not have a picture in it.
Changing The Frame
To change the frame you must first click inside the picture frame you wish to change. Note: You must always click inside a picture frame before you either change the frame, change the matte, close the frame or, save out the picture. This is because PandoFrame operates upon the front-most picture frame. Then select the frame you want from the “Frame” menu.
Changing The Matte
A matte is a decorative border placed around a picture to provide contrast between the picture and the frame.To change the matte you must first click inside the picture frame you wish to change. Then select the matte you want from the “Matte” menu. The color of the matte is changed by selecting “Choose Matte Color...” from the “Matte” menu.
Removing A Frame
To remove a frame you must first click inside the picture frame you wish to remove. Then choose “Close Frame...” from the “File” menu. You will be presented with a dialog box that contains a preview of the picture, to insure you close the frame you intended. If you decide to close the frame, you will be asked if you wish to save the picture before you remove it.
Saving A Picture
To save a picture you must first click inside the frame you wish to save. Then choose “Save Picture as PICT...” from the “File” menu.
A Word About Memory
PandoFrames default memory setting is 1 MB. All pictures take memory to display. The larger the picture the more memory it will require. Another factor that effects a picture’s size is bit depth, the more colors a picture uses the larger it will be. If you receive an out of memory message then you must give PandoFrame more memory to display the picture.
Default Pictures
The two default pictures were created by Panda Design. If you would like to see what else Panda Design has, visit them at http://www.PandaCorner.com/.
