emmajess Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 We're learning about symmetry this week and I read on here that there are computer programs that have a symmetry tool that symmetrically completes one half of the picture while you draw the other half. The person on the forum said it was in 2simple - I can't find it in 2paint a picture, or on the normal microsoft paint accessory program... can anyone help? It would be a really straightforward way to introduce symmetry to begin with. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yeah, it's in 2simple. Preschool compilation. If I remember rightly you go to 2publish and it's in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennim Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Ours is on a program called Junior Revelations Art - and it is good for symmetry. Not seen it on 2Simple though, Jenni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittycat1279 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 It's on the 2paint part of 2simple. You can slice things in different ways and it repeats it. It's also on RM colour magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 It's not on 2paint in mine. It's definitely in 2publish. Perhaps we have different versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmajess Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thank you for all your help - I phoned 2simple and they were brilliant and immediately explained really clearly how to find it - it was in the 2publish bit of the Infant Video Toolkit section of the 2simple collection, which I'd never really looked at as I use the main 2publish and 2paint etc. But now I have it - hooray!
