User interface overview

Get to know how LTTR/INK's user interface works. This article will walk you through the UI elements in the Adobe Illustrator app step by step.

The plugin is controlled by the LTTR/INK panel and the tool.

The panel can be opened by going to “Window → Extensions”.

The Control Panel allows to:

  1. Create LTTR/INK Outline (the “LTTR/INK” logo button)
  2. Dispose of it (the “LTTR/INK” logo button)
  3. Expand stroke.
  4. Edit selected Nib values.
  5. Create and edit stroke styles.

Manipulate with strokes on the canvas.

To manipulate Nib dimensions you need to open LTTR/INK Tool. We prefer to keep the LTTR/INK Tool available in the Toolbar.

  1. Click on the three dots in the toolbar.
  2. In the window, scroll down and find LTTR/INK icon.
  3. Find the icon in the extended toolbar panel.
  4. Click and hold the icon and drag it to the Toolbar.

Now you can manipulate nib dimensions directly on the canvas.

  1. Click on the icon to activate the tool.
  2. You’ll see the ellipses display along the path.
  3. Click and drag to transform the ellipses.
