Linear Power Window
The Linear Power Window (LPW) first comes up as a square, however you may alter the position of the
corners and vary the softness for each side. This gives you the ability to create very unusual shapes with
LPW; these are often used for masks over circular windows.
Polygon Power Window
The Polygon Power Window (PPW) is a window with a maximum of 128 points. As with the other two
forms of Power Windows, you may apply softness to the shape and even apply auto tracking. The
Polygon Power Window also has individual softness for inside and outside the shape, as well as overall
Softness controls.
To add more points, move the mouse to the desired part of the shape and left mouse click on the window
line at the position where you need the point. Move the point by selecting the point and dragging it with
the mouse. To delete a point, select the point then center mouse click.
To change the center of rotation for the shape, press the Control key on the pull-out keyboard and drag
the cyan colored center graphic to the desired location. Apply separate inside and outside softness to
the shape by accessing the Isoft or Osoft controls with the mouse on the Window tab.
