Описание:
CAD-Master— это пакет графического программного обеспечения, выпущенный в 1985 году компанией Trojan Products для использования с ZX Spectrum. Он включает световое перо и предлагает различные инструменты для рисования и дизайна для пользователей всех возрастов и уровней подготовки. Программа позволяет создавать как полноцветные художественные дисплеи, так и черно-белые технические чертежи, что делает её универсальной для различных графических нужд.

Программа имеет функцию 'Pin Point' для пиксельной точности, и пользователи могут выбирать из семи различных типов линий, включая тонкие, средние, толстые, перьевые, пунктирные и кистевые эффекты. Эта гибкость позволяет создавать детализированные и разнообразные графические произведения. Программное обеспечение поддерживает свободное рисование, геометрические фигуры и вставку текста, предоставляя полный набор инструментов для графического дизайна.

CAD-Master совместим с различными моделями ZX Spectrum, включая 48K, +, +2 и +3. Он использует Microdrive для сохранения и загрузки, хотя эта функция недоступна на Spectrum +3. Главное меню предлагает такие опции, как рисование, копирование, заливка, текст и стирание, что делает навигацию интуитивно понятной и простой для пользователей.

Кроме того, программа включает опции для печати дизайнов с использованием принтера ZX и поддерживает множество цветов, расширяя творческие возможности. CAD-Master является продуктом своего времени, демонстрируя ранние инновации в области компьютерной графики и взаимодействия с пользователем через технологию светового пера.

facilities (except on Spectrum +3).
