Large, Clean, Open Palettes:

EazyDraw's parameter palettes are designed with a clean and open look. The size is not "big" but large enough to easily read and understand without being crowded. We understand that screen real estate is valuable, but on the other hand we have more than 640x480 pixels of desktop these days; so we feel that a better design concept is in order. Our design encourages discovery, and unfolds the capability of EazyDraw making it fun to explore.

User Configurable Mini Palettes:

On the other hand, large parameter palettes can certainly get in the way for the experienced user. Problem Solved: EazyDraw's frequently used palettes have a "mini" form, the disclosure button (top right) is used to switch between these two forms. The mini form is small with abbreviated labels, absolutely minimizing consumed screen real estate.

Window Shade - 3 levels:

The tall button found on the top right of each palette is an enhanced "window shade" button, with three height settings. The frequently used parameters are placed at the top of the palettes, so it is often useful to shorten the palette to free up the desk top. Click the button to "roll up" the palette or just shorten it to the top two or three key parameters.

Precision & Units - mm - in - pt:

Parameter measurement units are chosen, independent of the drawing units individually for each palette. A drawing might use feet and inches for graphic elements, but millimeters for specifying lengths of arrow heads. Different decimal precision settings for lengths, angles, and percentages are allowed.
