Kid Pix Deluxe 3X User Guide

For rectangles, circles, and polygons, you can draw either a filled or an outline shape. Outlines
let the background show through.
Drawing Tips
• To draw a curve, click the Curved line and click in the drawing area in the place where
you want to start drawing a curve. Holding down the mouse button, draw a straight line.
Release the mouse button and move the pointer over the line to bend it to the curve you
want, then click again.
• To draw a polygon, click the Shape outline or Filled shape. Draw the sides, clicking at
the end of each one. Finish by clicking the starting point again.
• If you change the paper texture and then draw with the Crayon, Chalk, or Marker, the texture
shows through under your drawing. For more information on using paper texture, see "Using
Paper Textures" on page 20.
• To draw vertical and horizontal lines, or squares and circles, press the Shift key while drawing.
