Letters growing can be fulfilled sequentially letter by letter, simultaneously or mixing these two styles. For obtaining the effect of tracing growth usage of markers is preferrable. For example, markers can be used afterwards as masks for other effects. Letter frames can be used in creation of such special effects as additional letter contour in shapes of rectangles, circles, rhombs, stars and hearts. You can assign letter frames of different size and make all of them the same size or depending on currently selected letter.
Waterline is applicable for solid and filled outline styles.
These parameters can be used in creation of effects for partial letters filling. You can set the percentage of filling, as well as its direction. For given curve you can assign aligment from left, right or center of the curve. In order to obtain effect of smooth text swimming along the curves, left and right corners can be arbitrarily shifted. This set of parameters can be used for creating such effects as sequential letters appearing and hiding as well as fading, blurring, moving, scaling, rotating, or shearing of corresponding letters.
