_INTRODUCTION______________________________________________

This new version of IconDraw features the loading of
images, custom grid sizes, improved speed and more!
This document will help you become well aware of all 
the features of IconDraw and how you can use them to 
make outstanding images for use in games, menus, or 
operating systems that use icons. Like always, if you 
have any questions or comments about this software, 
please contact me at my Email address given below.

_HELP______________________________________________________

INSTALLATION:
First you need to install IconDraw on your calculator 
by uploading it using TI-GraphLink or a similar de-
vice. Once you have uploaded the program file you can 
run it by typing DRAW() at the command prompt. Version 
2.0 is in one compact file.

OPERATION:
When you run the program you will see a grid and a 
menu to the right of the screen. This menu shows you 
which keys do what and shows you a preview of your 
image. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor around 
the grid, and press enter to toggle on or off a pixel 
at that location.

SPECIFICS:
This section will tell you what each function does 
that is listed in the menu.

F1: Help
This will show you the program name, version number, 
and some simple help on using the program.

F2: Preferences
This will let you set up certain aspects of the pro-
gram. Version 2.0 only has one setup feature which is 
grid setup. Choose on or off depending on if you 
want the grid to be displayed or not.

F3: New Image
This will present you with a dialog box that lets you 
start a new image. The fields of Width and Height let 
you specify how large you want your image to be. These 
values are in pixels. The maximum image size is 27 by 
19 pixels because of the limited size of the screen. 
If there is any interest I will make a version for the 
TI-92 which has a much larger screen size. The Back-
ground function lets you change the background from 
black or white.

F4: Save Image
This will allow you to save the image to a file on 
your calculator. Enter the file name in the box 
and press enter to save the file.

F5: Load Image
This will load an image from a file and place it in 
the current grid. If the image size is larger than 
the grid size, only the upper left portion of the image 
will be loaded into the grid. Enter the file name in 
the box and choose the rendering method below that. 
There are four rendering methods: Normal, Or, And, and 
Xor. Normal mode will erase the current image and put 
the loaded image in it's place. The other modes will 
use that particular logic to place the image on the 
current image. You can create some very interesting 
effects just by changing rendering modes.

That is all for the specifics on IconDraw v2.0
