Manual arrangement of entities is sometimes required when the Screen Redraw option overlaps entities. 30 days Vivid Clarity Pros and Cons Company Information Vivid Clarity from InTek Technologies is a new product aimed at bringing rapid iterative prototyping to PowerBuilder users. InTek claims this is the first in a planned series of tools falling under the Vivid moniker.
Clarity organizes models using a project management window called an object gallery.
Only one gallery can be open at a time, and, although multiple objects within that gallery can be open concurrently, you can copy and move entities from one model to another only by the roundabout process of exporting the entities to a database and then importing them into the target model or diagram.

Many features are not documented at all. Output is limited to printing the diagrams as shown on screen, crimping the use of Vivid Clarity for in-depth explanations to project customers.
