Stage 3 (Figure Handle Stage)
Continuing to Stage 3 (Figure Handle
Stage)
After creating the outline, which is simply a collection of dots (or pixels) in stage 2 (Line Image stage), continue
to stage 3 (Figure Handle stage), where the dots are automatically connected to create lines that can be
edited. In stage 3 (Figure Handle stage), you can use the Point Edit tool to move, delete and insert points, or
you can use the Line tool to draw lines.
Toolbar button:
1. Click , or click Stage, then To Figure
Handle.
→ If you were in stage 2 (Line Image stage),
the Figure Object Conversion Setting
dialog box appears.
2.
Select a setting under Resolution.
This setting determines how detailed the
generated figure handle image will be.
Basically, the line image is converted into
pieces of broken lines. To create more details,
more points are needed on the broken lines,
which also increases the size of the file.
In general, Normal provides a sufficient
resolution without making the file too large.
If selecting Coarse gives a satisfactory result
for a particular image, select this setting in
order to keep the file as small as possible.
Select Fine only if the image contains many
small details, and the Normal setting does not
give a satisfactory result.
3.
To replace the black outlines with figure
handle lines along the center of the outlines,
select the Thinning Process check box, and
then use the slider to select the degree of
detail.
b
Memo:
When the slider is set to Much, even very
thick black lines will be replaced with a line
along the center.
To replace the black lines with figure handle
lines following the border of the outlines, clear
the Thinning Process check box.
4. Use the SIZE slider to set the size.
