An Overview of the Shake User Interface

The SetDOD node, located in the Transform tab, allows you to manually assign a DOD
to an image. In the following illustration, a SetDOD node is attached to the building
image to limit the effects to the tower.

You can combine multiple images using a DOD. When you combine two images, the
DODs combine to form a larger rectangle. If, however, you use a node like Inside or
IMult, that node takes the DOD of the second node. If the building image is placed
Inside of the QuickShape image from above, it inherits the DOD of the QuickShape
node.

Note: When using onscreen controls to edit a shape (for example, a Rotoshape or
QuickPaint object) that has control points within the boundaries of the DOD, move the
pointer over the shape inside of the DOD, and then drag to select the points.
