What are Widths and what do they do?
|
Widths in MyScreen are used to add variety to the drawing styles you use to annotate the screen.
|
|
The current line width can be changed by selecting a new width from the toolbar, from the annotation rightclick menu, by typing a color's shorcut key, or by changing to a different annotation scheme. You can customize the Width menu listing in the Width tab of the Customization and Options dialog box.

The shortcut keys "shift+1" to "shift+0" are assigned from top to bottom to whatever widths are listed in the Width menu. In the example above, the shortcut key "shift+1" will set the width to 1 point, the shortcut key "shift+2" will set the width to 2 points, the shortcut key "shift+6" will set the width to 9 points, etc.. If you add more than 10 widths to the Width menu, widths11-? will not have a shortcut key.

The toolbar provides quick access to changing the width of a tool. You can click the up/down triangles to change the width by ones or click the drop down triangle to access a slider for larger changes. Changing widths using the toolbar will not add those widths to the Width menu or assign them a keyboard shortcut. Keyboard shortcuts for often used widths can only be assigned in the Width tab of the Customization and Options dialog box.

The registered version will remember your custom width choices between uses. The registered version also recognizes the press of a "+" key to increase a width or font size by 1 and the "-" key to decrease a width or font size by 1.
