Working with Text
Apply and edit artistic, frame, or shape text right on the page... apply
basic formatting from the always-at-hand Text context toolbar.
Control advanced properties like text flow (wrap), kerning, leading,
paragraph indents, above/below spacing. Need foreign language
support? Simply paste text in Unicode format as either formatted RTF
or unformatted plain text. Font substitutions during the opening of
DrawPlus or PDF files offers an interactive means of managing
missing fonts. Use Spell Checker to proof your output—check any text
against an editable user dictionary.
•
Add text to a path easily
Make your text fit to any line and shape's outline easily—simply draw
then type text directly on the object's path.
Pictures
•
AutoTrace
Convert pictures to vector art with AutoTrace Studio. Adopt preset
profiles for tracing logos, as well as colour and black-and-white
photos. Create your own custom profiles for tracing files with similar
characteristics. Use adjustment tools for fine-tuning traced output
(add/remove colours and edit curves).
•
Quick-and-easy Image Cutouts
Image Cutout Studio makes light work of cutting out your placed
pictures and images, directly within DrawPlus. Use brushes to discard
uniform backgrounds (sky, walls, etc.) or keep subjects of interest
(people, objects, etc.).
Effects
•
Perform Powerful Blends
The Blend Tool allows adjustment of blend steps, transform, and
attribute profiles (rate of change). Objects can be multiply-blended
(to/from other blends) to create truly stunning illustrations.
