What are these?

    I found these elements called "Set", "Smdg", and "Sub". What are they for/do? 

     

    Ps:

    There was an ad on the site for a fidget spinner game. LOL

    Those are deco elements. Set is the default blend mode, Smudge ... well, smudges, Sub stands for subtract and it does something totally not related to colour subtraction.

     

    There are others too. The "elements" you see on the right side of the deco menu are different blend modes, namely SET, CLR, SMDG, DIV, MUL, SUB and ADD.

    These are found in the deco category.

    Smdg is short for Smudge and Sub is short for Subtract.
    Their functionalities:
    • Set: Applies the selected colour to whatever you are drawing (obvious).
    • Clear: Erases colours (also obvious).
    • Smudge: Blends colours like this: http://i.imgur.com/EnZELwt.gif
    • Add: Adds colour values, so adding rgb(255, 0, 0) to rgb(0, 255, 0) will gradually give rgb(255, 255, 0), adding rgb(0, 0, 255) to that yellow will gradually give rgb(255, 255, 255). Note that rgb stands for red, green, blue, and the values go from 0 to 255 for each colour, a combinations of these values make different colours. GIF Demonstration: http://i.imgur.com/dBWBpgC.gif
    • Subtract: Subtracts colour values, so subtracting rgb(0, 255, 0) from rgb(255, 255, 0) will gradually give rgb(255, 0, 0). Subtracting the same colours (subtracting red from red for example) will always gradually give rgb(0, 0, 0) which is black, just like how subtracting the same numbers will give zero.

    • Multiply: Multiplies colour values. Multiplying rgb(255, 0, 0) by rgb(0, 255, 0) won't change the colour. Multiplying rgb(0, 100, 0) by rgb(255, 255, 255) will gradually make the green brighter until it reaches rgb(0, 255, 0).
    • Divide: Divides colour values, no need to explain this, I think you get the idea by now.


    You can experiment with rgb colours using an online colour picker if you want, here is an advanced one with a bunch of stuff.
