WHAT IS IT

   FW_YAPS is yet another positioning system for FinalWriter,
   a word processor from SoftWood, Inc. FW handles graphical
   objects like boxes, ovals or lines, and text blocks, too.
   You can drag them around with your mouse or enter their
   co-ordinates directly. But it is impossible to just se-
   lect some objects and then tell FW to adjust their left
   edges to one vertical line or to centre their middles to
   one point. For this tasks (and many more, of course) you
   need an external positioning system, that communicates with
   FW. This is done via ARexx, so after installation you don't
   even see that it is external.

FEATURES

   LEFT / RIGHT / TOP / BOTTOM - adjust selected objects to
                                 this side

   HMID / VMID - adjust the middles of the selected objects to
                 a horizontal / vertical line

   CENTRE / CENTER - center the middles of the selected objects
                     to one point


STILL TO DO

   HOFFSET / VOFFSET - adjust the spaces between the objects

   HCHAIN / VCHAIN - HMID + HOFFSET(0) / VMID + VOFFSET(0)

   MIRROR, SPIRAL, WAVE, FRAME, STAIRS, TILE, <your idea> ...

   (send me your ideas!)


INSTALLATION

   1. Unpack the archives to RAM:

        lha x FW_YAPS.lha -w RAM:

   2. Start FW_YAPS_Install and choose your FinalWriter
      MAIN directory

        eg.  Work:FinalWriter_E
        or   Application:FinalWriter_D
        or   ...

   4. After successfull installation start FinalWriter,
      select the menu item

        User -> Other -> ARexx-Script

   5. Here you should find a lot of new YAPS_***** Scripts;
      choose YAPS_Main, select USAGE and the script will
      tell you how to use FW_YAPS!


TESTING

   1. Draw a few boxes, ovals and lines on a new free page.

   2. Select some of them with the lasso (Select-Tool in the
      button bar) or by clicking on them while pressing the
      SHIFT key.

   3. Select User -> Other -> ARexx-Script in the menu and
      choose YAPS_LEFT ; now your selected objects should
      by adjusted with their left edges.

   4. Your objects are still selected, so you can test another
      script, e.g. YAPS_CENTRE .

   Test other scripts, and bind them to buttons in the user
   button bar (see ButtonBar.iff for my configuration) or
   to new items in the User menu (consult your manual to
   for menu/toolbar extension).
