Here's a brief overview of some of the concepts used in sliceOmatic. They will be viewed in more detail further down.

 

 

The Current Window

 

If multiple windows are present in the display area, only one of them is the current window. The current window's border will be highlighted. Clicking in a window will make it the current window. If only one window is visible, then it is the current window.

 

 

The Current Mode

 

Selecting a Mode from the Main Menu "Modes" section makes it the current mode for the current window. Each window in the display area is associated with its own mode, changing the current window will change the current mode and (if needed) the active tools.

 

 

The Current Frame

 

If multiple frames are visible, only one of these is the current frame. The current frame will have a yellow outline. Clicking on a frame will make it the current frame. If multiple windows are visible, only the current window will have the current frame. If only one frame is visible in the current window (Mode ONE) then it is the current frame.

 

 

The Selected Frames

 

On top of the idea of the current frame, sliceOmatic uses the concept of the selected frames. SliceOmatic offers you a simple and intuitive way to select these frames, either with the mouse (Frame Selection in The Display Area) or from list (the Frame Selection tool in Tool All group).

 

By default,

•in Mode One, only the visible frame is the current frame and it is the only selected frame,

•in Mode All, all the frames are selected, and the frame having the yellow border is the current frame.

Changing from one mode to another will reset the frame selection to these default values.
