full justification
Full horizontal justification makes selected text, except any row with
a newline character (hard return), flush with the left and right sides
of the text field box.
Full vertical justification makes the top and bottom lines of text
flush with the top and bottom of the field box.
global variable
A global variable can be shared among different macros. Global
variables remain active until explicitly deleted using the
free
command or until FXDeko is exited.
glyph
The word glyph comes from the Greek “glyphe,” meaning a
pictograph or other symbolic character or sign.
In FXDeko, glyphs are actual renderings of characters, in a
particular style (font and look).
FXDeko normally renders characters as you type them. For a style
with a large font or complicated look, you can increase the speed of
typing by pre-rendering the style.
graphic
A graphic is one video page of text and/or background art, created
and displayed using FXDeko. A graphic is created in either the
Program or Preview window. A graphic can be saved on disk as a
graphic file.
