- X Version 1.0 provides a crosshair following the actual position
- of the mouse cursor within any NeXTStep application. This feature
- supports people working with image processing tools or typesetting
- programs to control the alignment of text or images visually,
- instead of selecting each object and requesting the position of it
- with an inspector, remembering its actual position and compare it
- with the values of an other one. Another feature is the zoom function:
- The application's icon displays a magnified area around the current
- position of the mouse cursor so the user can easily determinate the
- exact location of the hotspot. This allows easy detection of which
- control point would be affected or what point a fill function would
- start from when the mouse button is pressed. A nice feature is the
- application icon itself. The icon acts as a power switch: whenever
- it is touched, the crosshair will either be activated or deactivated,
- depending on its current state. You can also change the behaviour of
- X in various ways by setting the appropriate values in the prefer-
- ences panel: color, size and distance of the crosshair's axes and
- some other stuff. X provides all features in demo mode, however the
- application will terminate itself after a short while.
- You can obtain a license number using the built-in license panel.
- Price is DM 40.-, about US$ 25.
