In Banner Maker Pro, the Widgets Bar contains four sub-pages. The order is: "Export to Image" page, "Transform" page, "Layer" page, "Resize" page. The general function of each page will be briefly described below. The more specific setting operation for each page will be given in the following chapters.

• Export to Image : The main function of this page is to export banner designs to images in PNG, JPG, BMP, TIF, TGA, ICO and other formats. The page contains some controls for setting the export. You can adjust the size of the output image according to actual needs. At the same time, Banner Maker Pro supports to select the entire page or all drawing objects or some selected objects as the export target. Of course, you can also customize the export area. The function is very powerful.
• Transform : This subpage allows the designer to manually perform coordinate transformation operations on the selected graphic. For example, the selected object is translated on the canvas by a certain distance, rotated by a certain angle along a certain center point, and the most accurate scale number is input so that the figure has the most appropriate size. You can also skew the object diagonally in the horizontal and vertical directions to achieve the desired effect.
• Layer : In the real banner design, each designer can truly feel each specific drawing object. The existence of layer is relatively invisible. In fact, every drawing object will belong to a certain layer. Whenever a new blank design is created, a layer is created by default. Objects created in the future will be attached to this layer by default. On the page, you can increase the count of layers, adjust the upper-lower relationship between layers, move the drawing objects to other layers, and set the blending mode and opacity of the layers.
• Resize : The Resize page has two very important functions:
  • Resize Canvas: You can set the size of the canvas according to actual needs. It should be noted that when the canvas changes, the size of the drawing object above does not change synchronously. Sometimes you need to adjust its size manually.
  • Resize to Content: It is to set the canvas size to just contain all the drawing content, the so-called minimum bounding box effect. Of course, you are also allowed to adjust the white space on the upper, lower, left, and right boundaries. They default to 0.
