Sketch 180
Sketch
You can use Sketch to produce pictures, including maps, freehand sketches,
invitations etc.
You can start straight away, by drawing freehand with the pen on the screen.
However, you may want to change the ‘pen’ or ‘paper’ before you begin to
draw.
You can select:
• The ‘tool’ to draw with. Each type of line or shape you can draw has a tool
which you can select. When you start Sketch the Freehand drawing tool
is selected.
• The colour of the tool. The default drawing colour is black. To change the
shade tap on a colour in the toolbar, or select the Colour palette tool on the
Tools menu.
• The width of the line for the drawing tools and the erase tool. To change
the width tap on a width in the tool bar, or select the Width palette tool on
the Tools menu.
• The size of the sketch or the area on which you can draw. When you first
start this is set to the same size as the screen. If you want to make it larger,
select Resize sketch on the Tools menu and type in the new size. If the
sketch is larger than the screen, you can use the scroll bars to move around
the screen.
About pixels
You can specify some settings used in Sketch in ‘pixels’, e.g. the pen width.
Pixels are dots on the page which are combined to make up a picture. For
example, when you draw a line on the page Sketch treats it as a number of
coloured pixels grouped together to form a line. If you later want to change
the line, you have to edit each pixel.
• Tap on a button in the toolbar to select a different drawing tool, or select a
drawing tool on the Tools menu.
• Change the pen colour and width before starting to draw.
• Use the pen to draw, or hold down the Shift key and use the arrow keys.
To draw a straight line:
• Tap , or select the Line drawing tool on the Tools menu. To draw a
vertical line, horizontal line or one at 45 degrees hold down the Ctrl key as
you draw.
