Creating Trails

To create a new Trail select the Trail-Tool (the second tool). This tool will snap back to Select-Tool automatically. If you want to create more than one trail, you have to double-click when selecting the tool.

Now select the position where you want to start the Trail. You can either set the start-point on a Panel - the start-point will be set at the center of the panel and will be clipped automatically - or anywhere else on the canvas. If you like you can set a way-point. Just move the Trail to the desired point and press the mouse button once. To finish the Trail either press the mouse button once if you want to set the end-point on a Panel or press the mouse button twice (double-click) if you want to set the end-point at any other point.

 

Manipulate Trails

To move the Trail just drag it around (don't grapple it on a knob). To manipulate a Trail select it and drag on of its knobs. You can also change straight Trail-segments to curves by double-clicking the desired segments. Two new knobs will appear (curve-control-point 1 and curve-control-point 2). Drag them to change the orientation of the curve. You can easily reverse this step by double-clicking.
