The glow strength defines how much the glow effect will affect the curves of the animation. Enter 0 if you do not want glow effect. The speed field defines the number of frames each curve will take to draw. That means that the smaller this number is the faster the animation will be. The pen checkbox shows and hides the pen. Also the pen leaves a trail between the letters. The background checkbox shows and hides a background to show another feel of the handwriting animation. If you click this checkbox it will also change other parameters to some default values for your convenience. Click the “GO” button to run the animation with chosen parameters. The scroll checkbox turns on and off the autoscroll functionality.
