Full Use of all Fonts on you system:
EazyDraw is a Cocoa Application and has full access
to all fonts that are available to your OS X system.
The wide range of typesetting capabilities that are
provided by OS X are seamlessly integrated into your
EazyDraw application.
Convert typeset text to Bezier Curves:
OS X
provides high quality font processing that is based
on Bezier curves. EazyDraw is a vector based
drawing application with advanced Bezier curve
editing. You can take advantage of this
convergence of technology with one click on the
convert menu. Typeset text is precisely
converted to fully editable individual Bezier
curves.
No limitations on the converted Bezier paths:
The converted Bezier curves can be edited, they have
stroke and fill, they will accept gradient fill and
patterns, -- no limitations. EazyDraw doesn't
even know that you obtained the shapes from a
typeset font.
Full support of new Tiger and Panther text
capability:
The newest versions of OS X provide the highest
quality text drop shadowing capability.
EazyDraw allows the user to add these to any text,
and adjust the color, transparency, blur, and offset
of the shadow. Independent setting of stroke
and fill color for any font is supported for OS X
versions 10.3 or newer.
Control over stroke position:
EazyDraw allows you to control position of the
stroke (path or outline) relative to the fill
(interior color) of any graphic. This makes it
easy to apply pleasing stylizing effects to text by
placing the stroke behind the fill (it's normally
drawn on top of the fill and can look jaggy or
jutty). This technique was used to create the
headline for this page. For more on this topic
check out the tutorial StrokePosition on the
demo download.
