Pivot Basics Part 1

1.) In order to fully understand the program let's look at the screen.

Here we see a variety of buttons these are the controls.

"Play" will roll the animation that you currently have
"Stop" will stop the animation and go to the last frame you created
"Repeat" well, i wonder what this does...
"Add figure" will add whatever figure you have in the bar at the time, in this case, its "stickman"
"Delete" will delete a figure
"Edit" will take you to a window where you can create you own figure.
"Center" will bring the figure to the middle of the screen.
"Flip" will turn the figure around, make a mirror image.
"Color" will change the color of a figure.
"Front" will place the figure in front of all the other figures.
"Back" will place the figure in the back of all the other figures.
"100" marks how big the figure is, 100% would be normal size, 2x would be 200.

There is a bar to the right of Play and Stop. This bar is the frame rate or how fast the animation goes. I recommend you keep the bar in the middle, as it is normal speed, moving it up will increase speed, and moving it down will decrease speed.

There is an "options" tab on the top, it is used to change to frame dimensions, how big the box you animate in will be.

There is a "File" tab on the top also, this is where the save, load and other options and fetures are. Like the Load Sprite option.
