Canvas Resize The canvas can be resized down from 800 x 606 pixels. Click on a corner of this widget, and the corresponding corner of the canvas will move in the same direction, one pixel per click. A quicker way to resize the canvas is to set the canvas width and height in the Paintlet Properties dialog. Enter the desired width (or height) in the text field, and hit enter. To reset back to the default 800 x 606 pixels, click the icon at the left. These changes will persist after Paintlet is closed. |
| Another way to resize the canvas is to right-click on the circle in the center of the resize widget. Fill in the width and height when this dialog pops up, or reset to a full-size canvas. |

Why change the width and height of the canvas? When saving to a file,
the whole canvas is saved. Let's say you are creating a small button
that is to be 125 x 20 pixels. Resize the canvas to 125 x 20 first.
After the button is painted, it's ready to save. You can still create your masterpiece on the default 800 x 606 canvas, and then save just a region of it. To do this, copy the region of interest to the edit clipboard. Then resize the canvas. Now paste this region back onto the resized canvas. Ready to save. |
