Polygons

The latest update of the charming display editor Stylo brings an exciting new feature that will significantly enhance users' creativity.

From now on, you have the ability to draw polygons completely freely, giving you greater flexibility and freedom in designing your graphics. This feature is supported by a specially developed tool that you can find in the "New Graphic Objects" menu. With this new tool, you can not only create geometric shapes precisely but also develop custom designs that are perfectly tailored to your needs.

The easy handling and intuitive functions of the tool allow both beginners and experienced users to quickly and efficiently implement their ideas. As with the line tool, anchor points are simply set by clicking the left mouse button, and drawing a polygon is completed with a double-click. If you finish the polygon near the starting point, the polygon will automatically become a closed object.

Polygons

The latest updates to polygon editing offer a range of exciting features that make the editing process more efficient and user-friendly. One of the standout innovations is the ability to select multiple anchor points. This feature allows users to select and edit multiple anchor points simultaneously, significantly speeding up the editing of complex polygons.

In addition, anchor points can now be individually defined as sharp or rounded. This flexibility in customizing the anchor point type allows for more precise and creative design options. This is complemented by simplified editing of tangents for anchor points, providing even finer tuning and control over the shapes.

Also newly added is a dedicated floating toolbox for anchor point editing. This intuitive and easily accessible bar simplifies access to all necessary tools and options, making polygon editing even faster and more productive.

Polygons have the ability to be combined to create more complex shapes. This composition is not only an interesting geometric property but also opens up numerous possibilities in design.

Finally, the ability to precisely determine x/y coordinates rounds off the feature set. This function allows users to position anchor points exactly, ensuring high accuracy in their designs.

Overall, these new features provide users with extensive creative possibilities while simultaneously simplifying the editing process – a perfect combination for anyone working in graphic and design editing. BUT: It should also be kept in mind that the development of the polygon feature in Stylo is not yet complete. Further functionality will be added in subsequent versions of the editor.

Convert Text to Graphic

With the latest feature expansion in our design tool, transforming creative ideas into stunning visual experiences has never been easier. From now on, you can seamlessly convert the content of text frames into a polygon.

Once the text frame has been converted into a polygon, you can edit this polygon with the same versatile effects as any other polygon in your design. This includes the ability to add fascinating gradients that bring your text to life and give it additional depth and dimension. Furthermore, you can also integrate image motifs into the polygon, allowing for even more creative and personalized designs.

Combine Actions

Actions are a useful tool that allows essential commands to be executed efficiently and quickly via the keyboard. With the introduction of the new version, a significant improvement has been made: it is now possible to combine multiple actions, enabling users to execute several commands simultaneously. This functionality not only saves time but also increases flexibility when editing documents.

A practical example of this new feature would be the simultaneous selection of a specific font family and the adjustment of the font size. Instead of performing these two steps sequentially, users can now combine both commands into a single action. This not only improves efficiency but also allows for a smoother workflow, as less time is spent switching between different commands and menus. The ability to execute multiple commands simultaneously thus represents a significant advancement in user experience.

The configuration of actions is done in the configurator.

Action "Exit"

With this new action, a keyboard command can inform the partner via the interface that the user wants to exit Stylo.

2025.3

Polygons

This version provides you with various predefined polygons that you can customize to your liking. This means you have the ability to change the shape and properties of these polygons to better suit your specific requirements.

However, it is important to note that the full range of functions planned for future versions is not yet available. This means that some features that may be added in later updates cannot be utilized at this time. Nevertheless, this version already provides a solid foundation for working with polygons and making initial adjustments.

Gradient Grids with Transparency

The functionality of gradient grids, which has been available for some time, has now undergone a significant expansion. This new feature allows users to not only create color gradients but also to generate gradients that transition to or from transparency.

The ability to integrate transparency into color gradients allows for softer transitions and complex visual effects that were previously difficult to achieve. This expansion represents an important advancement in design techniques and offers numerous new approaches for creative work.

Fullscreen Mode for Stylo

When you click the Fullscreen Mode button, Stylo is switched to fullscreen mode, meaning you can utilize the entire screen area for your work. All other elements such as display systems or browser bars are hidden. This is particularly useful when you want to focus on details or need a larger overview of your work. To exit fullscreen mode, you can either click the same button again or press the ESC key on your keyboard. This simple operation ensures that you can switch flexibly between views and always maintain control over your work environment.

In the configurator, you have the option to activate a button for fullscreen mode in the rights group. This button is the fourth button from the right in the toolbar. When you click this button, Stylo is switched to fullscreen mode, meaning you can utilize the entire screen area for your work. This is particularly useful when you want to focus on details or need a larger overview of your work. To exit fullscreen mode, you can either click the same button again or press the ESC key on your keyboard.
