ACTIVE MARKER
-- the pointer, frame, text label or date/time label which is positionable. Often
used as a marker, but also used to position the starting point of a drawing line.
When the active marker is anchored, another identical active marker appears
on-screen. One active marker is always displayed, unless the marker has been
turned off.
ANCHORED MARKER
-- the opposite of an active marker. An anchored marker has been placed in a fixed
position on the Pointmaker overlay and cannot be moved again. How ever,
anchored markers may be erased or cleared.
BACKGROUND
-- text background refers to the area immediately surrounding a line of text or a
text label. For video background, see Chalkboard.
BLOOM
-- markers or text which enlarge or blur on the monitor due to excessive bright-
ness.
BUTTON/ICON, TABLET
-- the square or rectangular zone on the tablet Menu Strip that represents a
Pointmaker function. When this zone is clicked on with the pen tip, that func tion
is engaged.
CHALKBOARD
-- the solid area behind the Pointmaker markers when in the Chalkboard mode.
Presenters may choose a source background or a solid background.
CLEAR
-- the Pointmaker function that allows you to clear the overlay of all markers at
once. A single active marker will remain on-screen unless the marker has been
disabled.
CLICK
-- the action of quickly depressing and releasing a button on the Pointmaker
auxiliary controller, as opposed to a press of the button.
COLOR PALETTE
-- a user-defined group of colors which may be attributed to each active marker
before anchored. From 1 to 7 colors are available.
