Drawing Mode

Select the drawing mode from the list box. These options provide different ways to merge the drawing pen with the screen to get different levels of visibility for the markers you are drawing. For example, theCopy Color mode shown copies (draws) the pen color onto the screen. An example of a more complex mode, XOR Color, performs an exclusive OR operation between the pen color and the screen pixel to draw a color that is the tinted opposite of the screen pixel.

Color

Line Width

Specifies the width of a line in the marker, measured in screen pixels.

Marker Size

This specifies the size of he marker if the marker is a complex shape rather than a simple line.

Hit Radius

Some operations require clicking on an existing marker. This is the radius from the marker center at which a click identifies the marker.
