Abstract
The present invention discloses a user interface system which enables the parameters (eg character infilling, character color, character opacity, color saturation, etc) of a character font (or other image) to be selected in sequence. Of the maximum possible combination of selectable sequences, some are disabled in order to deliberately simplify the choice available to the user. The disablement is preferably selectively activatable to assist first time and new users but not inhibit experienced users. The characters (FIGS.and) are able to be generated on a conventional general purpose computer (). The interface system is vendible as a computer program product.
