Hi Martin,

Thanks for these points. Can you clarify what you mean by using right mouse click when drawing scraps? I thought I covered the right-mouse menus for setting line options. Was there something specific I've missed, or not clear enough mention of context menus when drawing?

I'm not sure where group transparency is applied in the PDFs. I see transparency working for overlying passages and for boulders drawn over area fills. At least I see it in Sumatra and FoxIt readers, but not in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Can you give examples of features where I can check whether it is working?

Convert to curve is a good one. I'll find a place to add that in as I've seen a few people struggle with drawing beziers directly when we run out training courses.

Thanks,
Footleg

Hi Footleg,

you don't show using right click with mouse when drawing scraps. It is much faster way.

Drawing line - one may not draw beziers directly. It is possible to draw only points which are not "smooth" and then use "Convert to curve" feature from "Edit line" menu. There are only small correction necessary.

The problem with transparency is that all viewers using Apple library and several others (Sumatra) ignore group transparency which is in definition of PDF. So it is bug. (According to Martin Budaj).

Hot off the press, I have published another update to my Therion Tutorial. Since the last revision in November 2015 I have simplified the recommendations on larger project data structures (I realised my own projects were not following my advice I had written!), and added a new lesson on defining layouts.

As always, feedback and comments are welcomed. But don't be disheartened if I have not yet incorporated suggestions made already into this latest revision. I just wanted to get this initial layouts chapter out there as several people asked for it. I'll take the time to read all the feedback I've received already and merge it into the tutorial in time.
