If will run in all color resolutions from monochrome to 16.7 Millions colors, and with most graphic boards. Anyone who has worked with computer graphics will know that one of the biggest drawbacks is the fact it is almost impossible to achieve a decent drawing by simply moving a mouse with your hand, it's like trying to sketch with a 12" diameter pencil. Of course there are ways around this, a good one being the use a scanner to copy your drawing into a paint package, but resulting image is bitmapped (Made of dots or pixels) so if you try to resize it the edges of the image become jagged and distorted. Vector graphics can solve this problem, and do much more besides. The first use for vector graphics was in the motor industry. Today the whole publishing world relies on them. DA's Vector PRO uses this technology to create professional quality full color graphics suitable for a hugh range of applications including typographical design, desktop publishing, video titling, animation, technical and creative illustration. The program consists of a series of modules, each one adding to the power and versatility that makes DA's Vector PRO both unique and essential. Some of the Modules are: """""""""""""""""""""""" [-->] The Vectoriser [-->] The Path Editor [-->] The Vector Graphis Editor [-->] The Animation Editor [-->] The Chart Generator [-->] Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| NEXT TITLE ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| --------------------------------- """""""""" --------------------------------- ============================================================================== DA's Picture Disk ................... 3 disk by Digital Arts.

N/A ============================================================================== Quill """"" Quill is a pen and ink freehand vector drawing package that combines the speed and responsiveness of a painting package with the smooth rescaleable output of vector graphics. It is the first program to properly emulate naturalistic drawing and writing with a shaped nib of italic pen. Quill records every flick of your pen and renders each stroke in flawless curves drawn in the nib of your choice. The nib can be edited (choose square of rounded, then squash, rotate, stripe and resize) both before and after drawing so you can mould its shaped and weight to best express a particular sketch or piece of lettering. Individual pen strokes can be moved or deleted with the powerful zoom option allowing precise adjustments. A reversible UNDO effects all graphic operations; so you can work spontaneously and without fear. Quill saves in its own vector format, and exports bit image files at any size of resolution. Ideal for signatures, handlettering, calligraphy, font design, tracing, cartoon and sketches. Works with either a mouse or (you guessed it) Tabby Graphics Tablet...
