1. Introduction

1.1. Why needs Stamp?

Stamp is intended for making the seal and stamps. It will be useful to the
companies and businessman, which want to design their future stamp, also
organizations, which concern with making the seal and stamps. The Program
spreads gratis and its creator (i.e. I) does not carry any responsibility for its
use.
1.2. Where to take?

As a rule, stamp necessary to search for in Internet. For instance, it is
possible to find it on my site: http://undeadman.chat.ru. In the same way its
possible to find it on sites of programs such as www.freesoft.ru.

1.3. System requirements

Stamp 0.7 will work at any computer, where Win32 is installed. But orderly
it will work at computer with:
Pentium processor
8 MB RAM
512 KB Video
Mouse & keyboard
IQ not less then 50 points

1.5. E-mail

Stamp07@mail.ru - my address of e-mail for this program. There you may
send the questions of different sort, wishes, offers and their own
commentary. Although, I am not able to answer every question, but know,
your letters always remain read. I answer just to the most important
questions and do not answer to the questions like Where can I take Stamp?
or Please, send me your program to my e-mail. Also, if you have questions
about program and translation you can write to translators mail.
It is sanyok@mail.com. You can ask everything you havent understood in
this documentation.

2. Description

2.1 Lines

In menu "line" are assigned the texts, going around stamp.  There is "upper"
and "lower" line. Given version of program supports before 50 lines. In
menu "line" in first column is specified the number of line, in the second text
of line, and in the third one is a font. The Font is chosen one of the fonts
installed in Windows for each line. The Following column to have charge of
size of font. The Arrows up and down switch the line on previous and the
following.

2.2 Parameters of lines

In menu "parameters of lines" are assigned the parameters of each line and
the general parameters for sharing the lines.  Here is assigned "thickness of
line of underlining" - thickness of line, which will go after line.  The
Indention overhand and from below will assign the amount of millimetres
for indention overhand and from below line. The Inversion - such condition
of line, when letters of texts transparent, but line is painted (the inversion is
used for registration number, going on the edge of stamp). "Star"- type of
asterisk for the given line ("asterisk" in line is marked with symbol "*" (the
sign of multiplying)). The Corner of tumbling will assign the corner to
which is turned line. Autodistribution"  if you chose this parameter, line
will be distributed on the whole stamp, otherwise lines will be distributed
consecutively, depending on size of letters. The minimum indention will be
useful, when, for example, "lower" line on sizes of letters twice larger sizes
of letters "upper" lines.
Also, there is an option "partition on sides", which will appear if form of
stamp will be polygonal, this option automatically splits the text on sides
depending on sizes of words and sides. The indention in line assigns the
amount of millimetres for indention after each letter, such option useful for
consequent distribution.

2.3 Center of stamp

In the centre of stamp can be kept both texts and picture.
The Parameters of texts are assigned similarly parameters of lines, going
around stamp. The option "picture in the centre" defines if picture will be in
the centre of stamp. The button "load the picture" loads any picture in BMP
format. Option "brightness" defines with what brightness to load picture, this
is necessary, because picture in centre always with two colours. "Autosize"
installs the automatic size to the picture, which depends on remained place
for the stamp, if this option is not chosen, then size of central picture will
correspond to its initial sizes in pixels.
"Sizes in %" assign the sizes in percent, from chosen by program size on
axis X and Y. The enter of picture possible to install for centre of stamp,
changing coordinates of the centre. The option "thickness dribble" installs
the thickness of line, which dribbles the centre of stamp.

2.4 Form of stamp

Form of stamp is shown on screen "model of form". The form of stamp
possible to change, having chosen one of the types of form: "broken line" -
first button under form, "correct polygonal figure", "ellipse", "
circumference "," rectangle ". After you have chosen type of form, its is
necessary install on screen "model of form" whereupon possible to change
its sizes manually, there where is specified radius X and Y.
For making the seal with big form is required to change the size of stamp.
The frame defines what picture will be drawn on form of stamp. By the
Arrows upwards and downwards is possible to switch already ready frames,
and with button "load" is possible to open any other picture, which will be a
frame. The amount of pictures defines how many pictures will account for
the whole form, this option useless for symmetrical frames, for example, as
standard. It is possible to change the thickness of frame. The option a
protuberance installs on what side from form will inhere the frame if option
is chosen, then frame will be for form, otherwise inwardly forms.

2.5 Making and editing

In given menu stamp is already edited itself. By the button "Create" stamp is
creating by earlier given parameters. After its creation it is possible to edit.
There are options of correcting the stamp, where stamps is possible to
smudge, add her inexactness and to spoil, as well as possible press the button
"auto" and stamp is corrected automatically. The amount of lines is assigned
in options "amount of lines" for passing through stamp in process of
correction. "Tolerance" will assign the amount of pixels for passage under
smudging. Stamp is possible to turn on to given corner, herewith indicate
importance of corner and press to button "turn". Also possible to change the
colour of stamp, changing importance RGB parameters and press to button
"colour". After making the stamp its possible to print from program, having
chosen place for printing on sheet and press to button "print". If you have
done all that you were needed it is possible to save stamp. Having chosen
from menu File "save print" and indicates the filename for BMP drawing.
Also, there is possibility for conservation of all parameters of stamp and
boot them, which are chosen from menu File in the same way.

Conclusion

After you have read this documentation, you should know the main
possibilities of Stamp 0.7. I did not describe program enough in detail, but
having experience with function of stamp with the help of it possible to
create practically any stamp. If you have any questions, then write me on
mail. And good luck to you!
