Templot Click-Guide Videos

Watch these screen videos to see how to perform various tasks in Templot.

The videos are stand-alone executable files. Right click on the links below, select the "Save Target/Link As.." menu item and navigate to a suitable folder on your system to receive them (e.g. My Documents). When download is complete select "Open" and you can safely ignore any warnings. To repeat the video at a later date, double-click on the saved file.

To start and stop playback of the video, press the keyboard space bar. While stopped you can move back and forth one frame at a time by pressing the arrow keys. Or use the top slider device to find a specific frame. Right-click on the image for more options. You can drag the video window by grabbing on the image.

In the video, red expanding circles round the mouse pointer indicate a left-button click on the mouse -- blue expanding circles indicate a right-button click.

These videos are for Templot versions 078e or 082d. If you are using 074b, please upgrade before attempting to follow the video: upgrade info.

A few of the videos have background music, but otherwise they are silent. Please ignore the volume controls.

Some of the videos are "scruffy", meaning that they were done quickly in response to a discussion on Templot Club, and have not had hesitations and mouse fumblings edited out, or many explanatory notes added. For detailed static tutorial sequences with full explanations, see also the click-guide tutorials.
