2009-12-10 Release Notes

This version supports Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

A number of new features were implemented for PageFocus Pro 7.50 and PageFocus Draw 4.50:

1. A new horizontal page scroll option is added. If you have a wide monitor, this means that you can display multiple pages in full size at any time. Page viewing becomes more intuitive. To select this style, use the "Scroll Styles" tool button if you are in PageFocus, or the "Scroll Styles" command in the Preference menu if you are in runtime (EXPO or PageFocus Reader).

2. Border shape conversion

Rectangles can be converted to rounded rectangles and vice versa by applying or removing corner roundness. Refer to the "Corner Roundness" command from the Modify menu.

The same command can be applied to image objects. This means that you can display bitmap images with rounded or elliptical border shape without using image cropping (as in the previous versions).

Page can have rounded corners.

3. Color gradient

Color gradient can now be applied to all object types that have a fill background, including text, field, table, and page. This allows you to create more colorful pages.

4. Function graph ( y = f(x) ) is extended to display a maximum of 4 functions simultaneously in a single graph. Parametric graph, x = f(t), y = f(t)) is also extended.

5. Added color selection by color name

For example, you can select "Beige", "Sky Blue", "Spring Green", etc. for your objects. At this time, two color groups with color names are provided: web colors and standard Crayola colors. You can define your own color groups by modifying the text file, "ColorName.TXT" in your PageFocus user's folder (under your "My documents" area).

6. Color selection by picking color from the screen with the mouse becomes more practical

Previous versions let you pick the color from a single pixel on the screen. The new version lets you define the size of the target area on the screen to average the color. Refer to the "Pick color options..." command in the "Color Management" tool button.

7. Standard ID card size is added to page style

8. Undo is extended to include operation mode changes.
