Scene
The scene is the drawing pane of scenepainter. It is organized in layers.
Each layer is associated with exactly one sceneelement, which can be freely
dragged around, using the mouse. The mousebuttons are used as following:
- Mousebutton 1: Select an element and drag it.
- Mousebutton 2: Select and element and delete it.
- Mousewheel: Raise or lower element by one layer.
The behaviour of the mousebuttons may be modified by holding the ALT key
down:
- Mousebutton 1: Select an element and drag all elements.
- Scrollwheel: Modify element in an element specific way.
Sceneelement
ScenePainter uses the following for types of elements with different
properties:
- Text - Text, that is rendered in various different styles, size and
fonts.
- Pictures - Static pictures from external sources.
- Tiles - Multiframe static pictures loaded from the graphics resource.
- Composites - Multiframe images, build from several components.
Project
Projects are the way of managing work by bundeling parts into
organizational units, ScenePainter employs. In more lax terms, a project is
a container (on disk directory) where scenes and supplemental data
(e.g. imported pictures) are stored and which can potentially be shared.
