Reason : Update Part Features + New Parts

News
Part Update
Part files can now contain multiple lines. They are all treated as one line though. Some restrictions, but a good first step.

Part Additions
A few mouths and symbols were added to the part collection. Shift+Click "add object" to add a part.

Background
The user can now change the background color.

Reason : Major Bug Fixes

Major Flaw Busted
Every time a svg file was read by the Java DOM parser it would open a 56 KB document from w3.org(because the svg file told it to do so, lazy svg writer). The file loading bug was located and busted.

Internal Objects
Rectangles and Ellipises can be added to the scene. And the user can change the color and size. This removes the need to have box-red.svg objects in the parts folder. The box parts will be removed later.

Parts
If you shift-click the add object button you can now add "parts". Basically hands,feet,shirt,pants and arm. Gives you a little more control over character creation.

Middle Clicking
If you middle click the program will cycle through the move,scale and rotate tool.

Object Loader
Double clicking and item on the list will load it into the scene.

Reason : Major Rotate / Scaling Issue Found and Fixed.

The help file got a major update.

News
Load Checks
Mirror Effect has been removed.
Missing File Errors have been fixed.
Recursion checks. Load will only go 5 objects deep before aborting. (May include function to increase this value later. :))

Move All
This function has been fixed.

Art Board Size
Art Board Size is now saved with the file.

Control Points
The user now can edit control point. Or just adjust the object to be over the center of the control point. Fixes most rotation issues.

Extra Detail
The Shift key enables the user to work in high detail mode. Rotation and scaling can be very precise with this enabled. (Shift+Click button to enable)

Right clicking deselects all.

General

Item Preview
The first time you select an object a "png" file is created and saved. The next time you select that file the png is shown. A huge speed improvement.

It was giving me some trouble
