Tones, such as Round, Line, Rhomboid, and Cross, could be created easily by the tone function of openCanvas3.
Colorful original tones could be easily created by combining fine specification of the number of lines, depth, an angle, and shading off of tone. Since saving and reading are possible for the created tone as a set, it can also make a set for every kind of tone.
Off course, it is also possible to take in as a tone the favorite picture.
Also, a tone could be easily applied with a pen.
This tone function can also be combined with a Gradient function. The effect of a "gradation + tone" can also be enjoyed.
