Working With Touch Maps
TPD4 supports Touch Maps for Multi-State Bargraph buttons. Touch Map images allow you to use irregular
shapes for active bargraph buttons.
If you select Touch Map as the Value Direction (State property), an additional state property is enabled
(displayed directly below the Value Direction property) called Touch Map (FIG. 215):
Click the browse button (...) next to Touch Map to select an image to use as a Touch Map (via the Resource
Manager).
The alpha values in the selected image represent the areas where touch will be registered, and the red-channel
values represent the overall value to change the control to.

Remember, you can also utilize the other tweeners in conjunction with the custom
slider to create complex color transition effects. See the Animation Effects section on
page 315 for details.
