The WaveEasy editor can be set to one of the following edit modes:
Selection Mode – This is the default editing mode and can be activated using the Selection tool from the toolbar, by pressing the ESC key or by Selecting Select from the Edit menu. UThis mode is used to move the cursor or select an area in the waveform. The status bar always displays the current cursor location and the selected area position (if an area is selected). Many of WaveEasy's Edit, Insert or View menu commands use the cursor position or the selected area. These command allow you to Copy an area, Cut or Delete a selected area, Paste at the cursor position another area, Split a segment or a segment item at the cursor position or create a new segment item from selected area, Insert a segment item at the cursor position, or Zoom-In to a selected area.
Hand Draw Mode – In this mode, you can free hand draw to create your own waveform. To draw, select the Hand-Draw tool from the toolbar or from the Edit menu, then, move the cursor to the waveform area, the cursor will display a pen; press the left mouse button down to start drawing and release to stop drawing. Once you are done drawing you can select the Select button from the toolbar or press the ESC key to return to Selection mode. Drawing on the segment or segment item will split the segment to segment items (unless the area that you draw on already had a free hand or a line drawing).
Line Draw Mode – In this mode, you can draw straight lines to create your own waveform. To line draw, select the Line-Draw tool from the toolbar or from the Edit menu, then, move the cursor to the waveform area, the cursor will display a cross, click the left mouse button to start drawing and click again to the next line and so on. To stop drawing, press the ESC key or click on the selection tool. Drawing on the segment or segment item will split the segment into segment items (unless the area you have drawn on already has a free hand or a line drawing).
Zoom Mode – In this mode, you can zoom in or out to be able to see more (or less) of the waveform. To zoom to an area, click on the Zoom tool from the toolbar or from the View menu, than draw a rectangle on the waveform area (click the left mouse button down and then move the mouse cursor and release the button to form a rectangle). The waveform will now display the rectangle area. To zoom out, click on the Zoom Out button from the toolbar.
