A brick must be at least one square and at most ten by ten squares +in size. Any rectangular format in between is allowed.<br> +The editor interface consists of an area where bricks are edited, a menu bar +with three menus and two buttons as shown below.<br> +<br> +<img src="http://lww.CS.Arizona.EDU:80/~henriks/editscreen.gif" alt="Editor screenshot."> +<br> +<br> +To fill a square on the edit pane, the user points the mouse at that square +and clicks the left mouse button. The right mouse button is used to erase +a filled square. Only one color per brick can be used.<br> +The upper left corner of the currently edited brick resides in the upper left +corner of the edit pane. It is not possible to fill a square outside the +bounds of the current brick. There is a grid which shows the bounds when it +is shown. The grid can be switched on and off by pressing the +<b>Toggle grid</b> button on the interface. The <b>Clear</b> button clears +whatever filled squares there are but does not affect the grid. +A brick can take on any shape, even unconnected regions in the same brick.<br> +A brick can be saved to file and previously saved bricks can be opened and +re-edited. All features are described in detail below. +</font> + +<h2>Menu items and features</h2><br> +<font size="5"> +<ul type="square"> +<li>The <b>File</b> menu<br><br> +<ul type="disc"> +<li><b>New</b><br> +Lets the user start editing a new brick of the chosen size and color. +A brick must be at least one by one and at most ten by ten in size.<br> +Valid colors are: yellow, red, blue, green, orange, magenta, cyan and brown.<br> +When the user clicks <b>Okay</b> in the dialog box, an empty grid of the given +size shows up on the edit pane. +<li><b>Open</b><br> +If <b>Open</b> is selected, a dialog appears which prompts the user for the +filename of a previously saved brick. Brick files always have the extension +<b>.brk</b> but this is not necessary to include, although it is perfectly +alright to do so.<br> +If the file is valid and could be opened successfully, the editor resets itself +to the measurements and color of the loaded brick and the brick appears with +the grid on. +<li><b>Save</b><br> +The user enters a filename in the shown dialog box and the brick is saved +under that name. If the extension <b>.brk</b> is not added to the name, the +editor automaticly adds it before saving. If the user enter a name with +characters after <b>.brk</b>, those are discarded. Saving can not be performed +if there are no filled squares. If not all rows and columns are used for the +brick to be saved, the brick is stripped of such empty rows and columns before +it is saved. This does not apply to empty rows and columns between filled +squares, only "edge" rows and columns are stripped off. +<li><b>Quit</b><br> +This closes the brick editor and returns focus to the htetris application. +</ul> +<br> +<li>The <b>Brick</b> menu<br><br> +<ul type="disc"> +<li><b>Change color</b><br> +This changes the color of the currently edited brick in place. From now on, +this color is used to fill squares unless color is changed again, a brick is +loaded from file or a new brick is started.<br> +The same colors as mentioned above under <b>New</b> are valid. +</ul> +<br> +<li>The <b>Help</b> menu<br><br> +<ul type="disc"> +<li><b>How to edit</b><br> +This option basicly displays the same information as the first section of this +document. +<li><b>Menus</b><br> +This option basicly displays the same information as the this section of this +document. +</ul> +</ul> +</font> +</body> +</html> |
