Introduction

Welcome to NfCanvas. If you have ever used Adobe Photoshop (TM), you should be able to catch the idea quickly. NfCanvas is tested on Cassiopeia E-500 (E-105 in US). There are reports that it ran on other machines, but since it consumes lots of resource and CPU power, it might not be suitable for use. NfCanvas is a drawing tool and made for drawing purpose. Canvas size is fixed to screen size, and can only handle BMP files. NfCanvas isn't a right tool for editing existing images, but for enjoy drawing. First, Launch NfCanvas (see readme.txt for installation). White screen will be displayed. Use stylus pen to draw. If line displays too slow, try terminating resident programs or reset CE and run only NfCanvas, or check "stylus input" from pen setting menu. It will run smoothly on E-500, but still, draw gently for best result. NfCanvas has 2 layers. Which means, it has 2 papers and they are overlayed. It's like you have paper and tracing paper together. You can draw sketch on lower layer, and trace on upper layer. Tutorials are available online at my homepage, so take a look and you should get an idea. Layer method can be selected. NfCanvas is composed from 2 basic files, nfcanvas.exe and nfcanvas.dat. This nfcanvas.dat is a Bitmap file, and can be modified for customization. After modifying, be sure to save dat file as 24-bit bitmap file, or nfcanvas won't work property. If you want to edit dat file and want original PDF (photoshop file), let me know.

Misc

Shortcut Keys Color Picker : Hold ESC key and tap drawing area to pick color from drawing area. Cursor Key : When moving, use cursor key to move by 1 pixel. When zooming, use to move by 1 pixel. Zoom : Hold Enter key and tap drawing area to zoom. Tapped position will be zoomed in 1x > 2x > 4x > 8x cycle. Nfc File Nfc file, which saves current work, is actually a bitmap file, and can be viewd with paintbrush. However, lowest 1 line contains layer information, so do not edit this line. Converting to Jpeg will also erase this information, so do not convert to jpg. �@

Special Thanks

I would like to thank to many people who helped converting to english version. Testing and feedbacks were really helpful, and going to be helpful for future versions. Thanks again, and feedbacks are always appreciated.

Well, I think I covered most of NfCanvas functions. If you get used, try customizing menu to your design, and if you can, try even creating plugins. I hope you'll enjoy drawing with NfCanvas. Have fun, and have a good mobile painting.
