-<title>Linking</title>
-<para>Now lets try linking. Lets say we always
-want these two circles to be the same size. Select two circles, and then
-select both of their Radius ducks(the cyan dot). Then right click on
-either duck and a menu will pop up. Click on "Link". Boom. The parameters
-are linked together. You can prove it to yourself by selecting just one
-of the circles and changing its radius--the other one will change as
-well. Neat stuff, eh?</para>
-
-<para>Linking is a fundamental concept in Synfig. You can create links not only
-between ducks, but also between parameters as well by selecting multiple
-layers, right clicking on the parameter in the param tab, and selecting
-"Link".</para>
-
-<para>DIGRESSION: This is how outlines are attached to their regions-but
-I'm getting ahead of myself. At the moment, the fundamental power and
-flexibility of linking in Synfig Core is beyond what Synfig Studio
-currently allows for. This will change in the future. Anyway, back
-on track...</para>
-
-<para>Lets say you want one of the circles to be a different color. If you look
-in the toolbox below the tools, you'll see the foreground/background
-color selector, the outline width selector, and some other stuff like
-the default blend method and gradient. The foreground/background color
-widget works exactly as you might expect--you can click on the foreground
-color, and a modest color chooser will appear. Now to can change the
-color pretty easily.</para>
-
-<para>But sometimes you just want to click on a color and go. This is where
-the palette editor tab comes in. It's functionality isn't quite 100% yet
-(ie: saving and loading custom palettes hasn't been implemented yet),
-but the default palette is pretty decent. Click on the Palette editor tab
-and have a look--it's the one with the palette-ish looking icon. Clicking
-on colors in here will immediately change the default foreground color.</para>
-
-<para>That's all great, but we still haven't changed the color of the
-circle. There are two ways to do this. The first way is that you select
-the circle layer you want to modify, goto the params tab and double click
-on the color parameter--a color selector dialog shows up and you just
-tweak away. But lets say you already got the color you wanted selected as
-the default foreground color. Easy. Just click on the "Fill tool" from the
-toolbox, and then click on the circle in the canvas window. Boom. Circle
-changes color. This works with more than just circles, but we'll get to
-that in a sec.</para>
-
-<para>Try playing around with the circles for a bit. Muck around with the
-parameters, and see what happens. To get you started, play around with
-feather a bit.
