            <description>This Tutorial is for Nodekit version 0.7.3; also works for 0.7.4

In some cases the automatic adjustment of the drawing area fails and drawing is constricted to a smaller rectangle than the screen size. Here's how to fix this:



Step 1 - If you're in fullscreen Tagtool mode, press alt-f to change to the Nodekit view. In the Tagtool Patch, look for the CameraFitToContent Node that is connected to the Display Node (eg Display2:1). It's located kinda in the North-East of the Tagtool patch. There i…</description>

            <description>When we started experimenting with live drawing and animation, we made a building block system where everything can be changed on the fly - the Nodekit. This was good for early prototyping, but as our vision of the Tagtool got more focused with time, this flexibility wasn’t really needed anymore. These days most people just want to use the Tagtool.</description>

            <description>With Nodekit 0.7.4 and below, sometimes the Tagtool controller (the Arduino with the sliders and the button) is not recognised by the Nodekit although it has been working correctly before. This should be fixed in versions 0.7.5 and above - if you still experience this problem, let us know on the  Tagtool Discussion group.</description>

Apart from the pen, the artist controls consist of five (or six) sliders and a push button. 

The sliders control the following parameters:

   Hue
Controls the hue of the colour you're drawing with. Starts with red at the bottom, moves through orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and back to red.    Saturation
Controls the saturation, or 'whiteness'. At the bottom setting you get white (no colour), the further you move the slider up, the more intense the colour …</description>

            <description>What is a Tagtool Mini?

The Mini is a separate device with the Tagtool controls that is used together with a computer and a graphics tablet. With this setup, you don't have a compact instrument, but it is nonetheless fully functional. This is recommended for people that don't need a dedicated Tagtool but want to use it with their computer and graphics tablet.</description>

Once you think your image is complete move the Fade slider on a little way and off again - very quickly.  Repeat this action several times - the image gets progressively more 'ghostly' until it disappears altogether.  If you take a photo each time you fade the drawing you can make a stop frame animation of the image disappearing (and if you reverse the order of the photos in the animation the original drawing …</description>

            <description>This tutorial is for Nodekit versions 0.7.4 and above.

When drawing in Tagtool an indicator 'star' points to where the pen tip meets the drawing pad. The star changes color to indicate the color selected with the sliders. Both the fill color and border color are changed to match sliders. Because of this the star can get 'lost' in areas with lots of the same current color choice. If we change either the fill or border to another contrasting color we can make the star stand out against the backgo…</description>

            <description>OR: something you can try when your Tagtool runs slow

Anti-aliasing is a method of smoothing images - without it, your drawings look pixelated, with jagged edges around the lines.

Here's a detail of a Tagtool drawing. The first image is without anti-aliasing, the second one has an anti-aliasing level of 1, and the third one has full anti-aliasing enabled (on a Geforce 9600 graphics card):</description>

Step 1: Activate image loading in the Tagtool patch. Look for the image loading comment and choose “True” in the drop-down of the node next to it.



Step 2: Copy your images into the “Images” folder of the Nodekit installation (eg. C:\Program Files\Nodekit\Images). They should be called 01.png, 02.png, 03.png and 04.png. Right now you can only load 4 different images this way. We have included 4 example images - just save yours over them.…</description>

            <description>Most Tagtool sessions take place in low light environments, so it can be quite tricky to record good quality footage.

Avoiding noise

	*  Use a high quality camera :)

	*  Use a long shutter setting (tripod recommended). This blurs out the movement, but it's perfectly fine if you plan to speed up the footage later.</description>

            <description>As well as using video and still cameras to document your Tagtool session, you could also try using screen capture / screen recording software too.

This technique removes any flickering / out of phase problems that you could get when using video cameras. However, it can affect the performance of your computer so test it out before doing a live session.</description>

            <description>A double Tagtool session allows two people to draw in the same projection space. In theory, you could triple, quadruple, etc to get more people drawing in the same space.

Double Tagtool with two projectors



The easiest way to have a double Tagtool session. Just hook up two Tagtools to two projectors and project on the same spot.</description>

            <description>This Tutorial is for Nodekit Version 0.7.3 and 0.7.4 |  check here for newer versions

This Tutorial shows how to use a MIDI Controller instead of the Tagtool controller.

Step 1 - Get the Tagtool MIDI patch


Download the [Tagtool MIDI patch (V0.7.3)], which has the Arduino node replaced by Midi nodes. Unzip it, copy it to the “save” directory of your Nodekit installation, and open it with the Nodekit.</description>

            <description>Drawing Position


The drawing position should be frontal to the projection.
The projection area should be clearly and entirely visible for the artist (even when the room starts filling up).

Projection

Important factors for the projection environment


Ambient light: darker = better
Projections surface: lighter = better</description>

Projection

	*  Choose buildings with a light surface (white or grey) - the projection will show up much better. Avoid dark buildings or reflective surfaces, like glass.

	*  Try to find spots with little ambient light (no direct street light etc.)</description>

            <description>How to switch between 5 and 6 slider Tagtools


This tutorial is for Nodekit version 0.7.6.1 


The “Fade-Out” slider isn´t always welcome during Tagtool performances and workshops because of accidentally erasing the whole screen. In the latest version it´s possible to switch between 5-slider and 6-slider mode. Just go to the TagtoolControls node and choose your preferred option from the drop-down selection. (See screenshot below)</description>

            <description>*  Don't use flash! It kills the projection most of the time.

	*  Use long exposure to get good shots in low light - tripod recommended!

	*  Try to avoid high ISO setting, this makes the image grainy




Here is a good example of a quite bad photo.</description>

            <description>The faders control the following parameters:

1- Hue

Controls the hue of the color you’re drawing with. Starts with red at the bottom, moves through orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and back to red.

2 - Saturation

Controls the saturation, or “whiteness”. At the bottom setting, there is no color (so you get white), the more you move it up, the more intense the color gets.</description>

First of all, a warning - while the recording functionality of the Nodekit Tagtool patch works in principal, there are still some issues with it. That's why at this time it's not recommended for serious production use. Instead we recommend recording Tagtool sessions with an external recording device (HD recorder, camera, computer with a capture card). Or look here for ways to record your Tagtool session with free capture software: Recording…</description>

It's called Nodekit because it features a visual editor that lets you customize your Tagtool setup - the different components of the software are displayed as “nodes”, little boxes that have editable parameters and are connected with each other to form the Tagtool patch.</description>

            <description>Having physically checked your sliders with an ohm meter before installation and knowing they have the range of 0 to 10000 ohms you can check the Nodekit patches to see if they are picking up the correct values (0-255) in the Arduio node.

If you are having problems with your sliders you can look into the Nodekit to see what values are being generated. If you are in fullscreen drawing mode press Alt-F to reduce screen so you can pull up the Nodekit window. Look for the Arduino2 interface in the …</description>

John Hewes 2009, The Electronics Club

Solder is an alloy (mixture) of tin and lead, typically 60% tin and 40% lead. It melts at a temperature of about 200°C. Coating a surface with solder is called ‘tinning’ because of the tin content of solder. Lead is poisonous and you should always wash your hands after using solder.</description>

There is a separate device with the Tagtool controls (the ‘Mini’) that is used together with an external computer and a graphics tablet. This is recommended for people that don’t need a dedicated Tagtool but want to use it with their computer and graphics tablet.</description>
