Point control

Point controls are used to specify locations in the Canvas.

To define a new location with x and y coordinates:

1

In the Filters tab of the Viewer, click the point control.

2

Move the pointer to the Canvas.

The pointer changes to the crosshair pointer in the Canvas.

3

Click anywhere in the Canvas to choose that coordinate.

Tip: You can also drag in the Canvas, and then release the mouse button when the
pointer is at the appropriate location. If you drag instead of clicking, the values update
as the crosshair moves.

For more information about positioning clips in the Canvas, see “

Using Cartesian

Geometry to Position Clips

” on page 223.

Angle control

This control specifies angles and rotations. The longer, black hand of the dial indicates
the angle. The smaller, red hand indicates how many total rotations forward or
backward are specified.
