FXDeko User’s Guide
LAYER PROPERTIES
Name
The user-specified name of the layer.
Box
Defines the box surrounding the ellipse or rectangle. All values
refer to the original box, before any transformation — scaling,
rotation or skewing.
Left, Top
The left and top edges of the ellipse or rectangle, in screen units.
Width, Height
The width and height of the ellipse or rectangle.
Aspect
The ratio of width to height.
Fixed aspect
Maintains the shape’s aspect ratio, whenever the width or the
height changes.
Transform
Defines how the box is transformed from its original position.
H Scale, V Scale
Horizontal and vertical scale factors.
Rotation
Rotation in degrees.
Skew
Skew amount.
H Origin, V Origin
The center of rotation.
Same priority as previous layer
Specifies that the current layer appears in the same plane as the
layer in front of it. In other words, FXDeko renders this layer as if it
were part of the layer in front of it.
Hidden
Hides the layer.
Lock
Prevents selection or modification of the layer.
Justification
Specifies default justification for text within the text field:
Horizontal
Justifies text between the left and right edges of the text field.
Vertical
Justifies text between the top and bottom of the text field.
Spread %
When Horizontal justification is set to “spread,” specifies how
much additional space to add between the letters within a word,
compared to the space added between words.
