1) In the next example I have selected all holons and checked the sync box ( since I wish the same metamorph to be applied to all three holons ). I have then randomly changed the numbers in each field myself and then unchecked all the other boxes since I want all three fields ( Amount, Scale and Special ) to stay at the numbers I changed them to and hit the random again,and here is the result.
2) In this next example I changed the Special field to 45, the Amount to 25 and hit the random again for the second style.
3) You can also easily check which holons have which metamorphs applied by selecting the small button directly above the main Metamorph button. This gives you information on each holon, what metamorphs each holon has and the degree.
4) Drag Techniques and Random Settings: So far we have learned how to add holons, change sizes and positions, move holons individually or as a group, hide holons, apply metamorphs individually or as a group, learned how to selectively apply metamorph settings both by user input and randomly and how to "drag" the images in the Object size view window to different positions. If that wasn't enough in basic composition, here are a few more techniques! In this image you can see additional settings for composition.
5) There are several useful composition tools contained in this small section! These settings are for controlling or changing the holons in the Left view window in several different ways, or combinations. This is accomplished by holding down your left mouse button in the Left view window and dragging the holon(s) after selecting the various options here. I'll refer to this as the Drag Technique from here on!
Note that the drag mode is set to Position. In the Drag Rotate setting there are several options, Angle, Position, Both & Counter. Angle will only allow the angles of any selected holons to change by this drag technique. Position will do the same except allow you to move selected holons freely to differnt positions. Both will allow both options (Drag & Position) to be applied in the dragging operation and Counter reverses the action. Got all that?! ;-)
