Basic gestures

If you are using Grafite on a touch screen, this is the simple rule:
Canvas Rhino Touch
  • Tap buttons to open menus and panels.
  • Tap options inside panels to choose them.
  • Touch and drag on the canvas with one finger to pan.
  • Use two fingers on the canvas to pan, zoom, and rotate.

How touch users open the little extra menus:

  • File, View, Import, Export, and Canvas: tap the button once.
  • Brushes, Eraser, Layers, and Colors: tap the button once.
  • Colors extra options: tap the small More options button at the top-right of the Colors panel.
  • Canvas presets: tap Presets.
  • Layer actions: tap the three-dots button on a layer row, or long-press the layer row itself.

Touch-only helpers:

  • To move an already placed imported image, press and hold on the image, then drag it.
  • To edit canvas width or height on touch, press and hold on the W or H field.
  • To reorder layers on touch, press and hold a layer row, then drag it.

Important touch note:

  • Removing a draft palette swatch is right-click-only in the current build, so there is not a special touch remove gesture for that action yet.
