I use Serif Drawplus. Hi Stephen, I think there is more to it than ... PDF, TIFF. However, it would seem the requirement is for GIF format, so that's what will be provided. Hi Brian, Thanks for your further thoughts. Sketchboard can add bitmap items in any of these file formats: BMP, GIF, PNG, JPG, HCK. It is important for non-rectangular objects that the background can be made transparent. Otherwise such objects would be displayed on a rectangular image patch. This means that only GIF and PNG are the real options, and sketchboard supports transparent backgrounds for ...
... topic: 1681 Saving image files posted: 10 Nov 2011 01:37 from: Tony W Hi Martin. Not sure if this is a bug in the TDV but I have been testing the picture output option and it works fine when the default settings are used. However, I then set the picture width to 10,000 dots and when I tried to save the file received the following error message. 2151_091641_250000000.jpg This is fair enough as this machine does not have much memory. The problem comes when you try to ... in the file name window (as it does in Windows) and needs to be deleted manually unless you are overwriting everything, eg changing the file type to .JPEG still saves as .PNG. The big question there is why do you want to save from Templot in JPG format? I was sorely tempted not to include the JPG option, but allowed it because you may perhaps have a large scanned image on the background as a picture shape. The JPG format is intended only for photographic real-world images from a lens ( ...

Likewise on the shove timbers dialog. All the buttons have accelerator keys and using the keyboard is 10 times faster than clicking them with the mouse.

... would publish my notes. While I'm targetting 2mm finescale the general principles will apply to all scales. The instructions in this article refer to version 0.82d of Templot. Background An interlaced sleeper turnout is one where all (or almost all) the timbering is simply standard 10" wide sleepers rather than the heavier and longer 12" wide timbers. These were popular in the 19th Century mainly, it is thought, due to their comparatively low cost compared to timbered turnouts.

... Printing a curved one is really quite straightforward: 1. Start with a suitable size for the first turnout. Use the F5 mouse action to set the size. Curved turnouts usually need to be longer than straight ones to keep the radius within bounds. C-10 is a good size to try. 2. Set the required radius in the running line, using the F6 mouse action. See this starter video showing F5 and F6 mouse actions being used to print a curved C-10 turnout: http:// ... an actual problem to me. I can sum it up in three words: "does it matter?". To 95% of users, does it matter that what is stored is raw data, and not a complete template, as an image like a jpg would be? I suspect, and contest, that it does not. What matters is that they know what they have saved (or copied, or deleted) and they know that they can get it back again. Whether that "image" is stored ...

I guess I don't quite see the complete advantage in using the CJF when the design will be distorted by the resizing. In the 10' direction this would be a 10% distortion. I would doubt that the track layout is disctorted by 10% in the use of Peco templates versus smooth curves however it really is a mute point I imagine. As such I wondered if there would be ... "overlaid track on a rough sketch" (a good beginner's guide to using the basic Templot adjustments), and "overlaid track on a scan" (a longer video showing a classic H0 layout).

You can save them anywhere on your computer. The above videos and notes have not yet been updated to reflect these changes. ...

So apologies if I've missed it. Is it ever permissible to shorten a timber outside the running rail? It can't even be one super-long timber as they don't line up anyway.
