the Menu Editor


Here is a list of the drawing options:

[Line]
This draws a single straight line in the current ink colour.

[Box]
A hollow rectangle is drawn by clicking on the position for one corner, and then holding and dragging to set the position of the diagonally opposite corner.

[Bar]
This draws a bar filled with the current fill pattern, displayed in the small Pattern Window. The pattern can be changed with the [-] and [+] options in the Settings menu.

[Ellipse]
Use this drawing function to create hollow ellipses or circles, in the usual way.

[Icon]
To paste an Icon onto the menu item, an image number can be selected using the [left arrow] and [right arrow] keys. The Icon bank must first be loaded using the [Load a memory bank] option from the Misc: menu.

[Bob]
This is identical in use to the [Icon] option, except that the image is taken directly from the Object bank.

[Text]
After the screen prompt, type in the required text via the keyboard, and it will be assigned to the current menu element.

[T.Len]
This is used to set the maximum length of the menu text.

[Make Inverse]
Use this option to reverse the text and paper colours in the current element, by swapping over their values.

[Make Border]
This option adds a neat border around the entire element.

Settings
The Settings menu allows the status of the various text and graphics options to be changed, as follows:

[N] [N] [N] [-] [+]
The three [N] icons are used to select the various text modes, with Bold, Italic and Underline styles being shown in the Font Window, as they appear.
