| Drawing Lines with Hotkeys | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Drawing Straight Lines This is the more flexible way to draw lines. Let's try drawing a line to show cue ball hitting 1 ball into a pocket. First, place1 ball inside the rack triangle and the cue ball near the center of the table. Move the cursor near the aiming spot. You can adjust it later so don't be too precise for now. Press <a> or <=> , a line with a point arrow attached to the end will show up. Move the cursor to where the cue ball will hit the cushion and press <a> or <=>. Move the cursor to where the cue ball will stop, press <a> or <=> again. Click on the 1 ball, move the cursor to a pocket and press <a> or <=>. Now you should have a basic simple diagram. We have designed two HotKeys: <a> and <=>keys, so both left-handed and right-handed users can add points with ease. You can use the Ghostball function if you would like to change the shape of a line. Drawing Curve Lines Let's try drawing a curve line with mouse and keyboard. Click on the cue ball, move the cursor to another spot for a new point. Instead of pressing <a> or <=>, press <c> this time. Move the cursor again, press <c> once more. You have just drawn a curve. You can use the Ghostball function if you would like to change the shape of a line. |
Deleting Lines
You can also use these buttons to delete either one line or all lines. You can also click on the arrowhead of the line first and then press <delete> key. Moving a Ball to the End of Path
When you are doing a shot to shot story. These two buttons, will be very useful. They set the balls to the beginning or the end of its path. Comparing Both Drawing Methods Using mouse-clicking to draw is much simpler and quicker. However, the clicking location can get shifted by your hand motion, especially when the mouse is a few years old. Using hotkeys to draw is more precise and flexible. However, it might not be as intuitive. |
