To select another tab, click on the desired tab. If you wish to close the extension, click the "Close" button. Simply click the "Apply" button, and plotting will begin (assuming, of course, that your WaterColorBot is powered, connected via USB to your computer, and that the carriage is already in the upper-left START corner). Once you've adjusted the Inkscape control values with the other tabs, you will mostly use this tab and the "Setup" tab in order to set up the robot and paint your drawings. The function of this tab is straightforward: send your Inkscape drawing to your WaterColorBot. You do not need to set these values each and every time you run Inkscape. Values which you specify in the various tabs and set with the "Apply" button will be saved by Inkscape along with your other Inkscape preference settings. However, during a working session, Inkscape remembers which tab you last selected and will automatically select that tab upon re-opening the extension. When opening the extension the first time after launching Inkscape, the selected tab will always be the "Paint" tab. The Control WaterColorBot extension has a number of tabs, each of which is described in its own section below. For example, to control how high to raise or lower the brush. In addition to painting, you will also use it to adjust settings for your WaterColorBot. This is the tool to use when you are ready to "print" your drawing, assuming that you wish to do so from within Inkscape. This article is about "Control WaterColorBot," the most important of the WaterColorBot extensions for Inkscape.
