Maze Generator
The Maze Generator effect allows you to create printable mazes complete with solution. A maze is an intricate, usually confusing network of interconnecting pathways, the solution of which is an uninterrupted path from a starting point to an end point. Pop Art Studio uses a randomized version of the Depth-First Search algorithm. Implemented with a stack, this approach is one of the simplest ways to generate a maze using a computer. Use the 'Export as Layers' button to export your maze, the maze background, and the solution as separate layers. This is convenient for printing your maze with and without the solution.
1. Do one of the following:
 Choose Effects > Maze > Maze Generator
 
Click the Maze Generator button
2. Use the following options:
  Rows
Use this option to choose the number of rows in the maze.

Min = 5, Max = 200, Default = 20.
  Columns
Use this option to choose the number of colums in the maze.

Min = 5, Max = 200, Default = 20.
  Wall Width (px)
This option allows you to adjust the wall width in pixels.

Min = 1, Max = 100, Default = 10.
  Show solution
This option allows you to show the best solution. The best solution is the shortest route through a maze.
  Dots
This option allows you to draw the best solution (shortest path) between the starting and end point as colored dots.
  Transparent
This option allows you to make the background color transparent.
  Background Color
This option allows you to change the background color.
  Maze Color
Use this option to change the maze color.
  Wall Color
This option allows you to change the wall color.
  3D Color
This option allows you to change the 3D color of the walls.
  Solution
This option allows you to change the color of the shortest path between the starting and end point.
  Style
This option allows you to change the style of the maze.
  Starting and end point
This option allows you to set the entrance (starting point) and the exit (end point) of the maze.
OK + Export as Layers
This option allows you to apply the effect and create multiple layers, each of which can be manipulated without affecting any other part of the image.
