Input fields

Throughout the Lightcube application where a number input is required, you can enter an equation or percentage value. For example:

Percentage

In the mirror input fields, enter a percentage value such as 50% to set the mirror position at the center of the page.

Equations

In the canvas resize or image resize fields, you can enter 16*8 instead of 128, or 750/3 instead of 250, or 128-27 instead of 101.
