Adjusting the position and size of an image

You can change the size and position of an image as you wish.

You do this in the "Image properties" dialog box, using either the mouse or the keyboard.

Hint Immediately after you insert an image into an animation, the image is assigned to the position that you set by selecting the "Preferences" dialog box [Image] tab and [Position].

Using the mouse

1. Click the desired image on the image display screen, or select "Edit"->"Move/Resize" on the menu. A box, called the "Tracker" appears around the image.

2. You can make the image larger or smaller by dragging one of the squares (handles) at the corners or edges of the image. You can move the entire image by dragging it from its center.

3. After adjusting the size and position of the image, click any point on the screen other than the image. The tracker disappears. This completes the setting.

Using the "Image properties" dialog box

1. Open the "Image properties" dialog box. Double click the desired image frame in the frame display window. Otherwise, activate the desired image frame by clicking and select "View"->"Properties Toolbar" on the menu.

2. Enter your desired values in the [Width][Height][X][Y] fields. These values can also be changed by clicking the arrow marks on the right-hand side of the fields.

Hint When the size of an image exceeds that of the screen, the way the system handles this will depend on whether [Auto Size] in the "Animation atributes" dialog box is set to On or Off.

On : The image size is automatically adjusted so that it fits within the screen.

Off : The size of the image is not adjusted.
