Symmetry

Symmetry is both beautiful and time-saving. It was one of the most requested features in Pixquare's beta phase.

Most software offers mirroring with 4 symmetry lines: 1 vertical, 1 horizontal, and 2 diagonals. Pixquare goes 1 step further and offers as many groups (not lines, read further down this page to learn more) as your heart desires.

Flip the switch

Symmetry tool is disabled by default, so we'll need to enable it first.

To enable the symmetry tool, go to Settings > Features > Symmetry tool

What's a symmetry group?

Instead of working with individual symmetry lines, Pixquare works with multiple lines crossing at a shared center. It'll divide the canvas into smaller fragments and then do the symmetry magic in each fragment. Each cluster like that is a group.

In Pixquare, we can add as many group as we want
