Use this list of keepaway settings to set the parameters of the keepaway trap.

Limitation: The Keepaway operation is available only for an object on a white background.  If the object is on any other light color background, this operation cannot be implemented.

Setting area

• Keepaway Width: Use this parameter to set the width of the inward contraction of light color from the outside to the inside of the dark object.
• Minimum Text Size: If the font size is greater than this parameter, it will meet the conditions for trapping and will generate a new trap. If not, then no trap will be created.

Geometry area: For an explanation of the options in this area, see the Trap Setting tab page.
