Drawing Library

One unique feature of InTheAction drawing tools is that it is possible to store up to nine sets of drawings in the Drawing Library. This allows you to reuse drawings from one InTheAction analysis to another.

Displaying the Drawing Library

1.	To use the drawing library it must first be activated. To do this:

2.	Display the Dartfish options (F3 or Tools > Options menu).

3.	Select the Advanced topics.

4.	From the ITA Settings, select the Use overlay drawing repository option.

5.	After applying the change, the Drawing library control will be displayed on the InTheAction module as shown below.

Using the Drawing Library

1.	Select an overlay from the list (up to nine overlays are possible)

2.	Add drawings to the video image

3.	As each new video is captured, the drawings from the currently selected overlay will appear on the video image.

Remember, at any time drawings can be hidden by clicking the Show/Hide drawing button.


The Drawing library is one of the many features that Dartfish have added in response to requests from our users but at the current time, this feature continues to be developed. If the idea of a Drawing Library is valuable for the way you use Dartfish then you can look forward to further enhancements to this feature in future releases of Dartfish.
