character set
A character set is a set of 256 characters in a TrueType or
Postscript font. A font may contain more than 256 characters, but
Windows NT can access only 256 at a time. By choosing a
character set, you are choosing which 256 characters you wish to
use.
Not all character sets are supported by every font. See Using an
International Character Set.
choice parameter
A choice parameter specifies one item from a list of possible
choices. For example, both parameters of the justify command are
choice parameters:
justify [horizontal=] [vertical=]
Possible choices for horizontal are: left, right, center, full, spread,
off and unchanged; and for vertical: top, bottom, center, full,
baseline, off and unchanged.
click
To click the mouse, position the selection cursor over the desired
item on the screen and tap the left mouse button once.
clipboard
The clipboard is the Windows NT temporary holding area for text
or other data that has been cut or copied from a FXDeko graphic,
macro, style or sequence.
When you cut or copy a selection, it replaces any previous
contents of the clipboard.
When you paste, you are pasting the contents of the clipboard.
You can paste multiple times without re-cutting or re-copying—the
contents of the clipboard remain the same until you cut or copy
something different.
Since most Windows NT applications support the clipboard, it is
possible to cut and copy a selection from one Windows NT
application—a word processor or a spreadsheet program, for
example—and paste it into another Windows NT application.
color shader
A color shader is used to apply a solid color to a detail. You specify
the color in terms of Red, Green and Blue amounts, or in terms of
Hue, Saturation and Value. A color also has an opacity, from 0
(transparent) to 100 percent (opaque).
command
A command is an instruction, optionally modified by parameters, to
FXDeko to perform a specific function.
