If this option is on, when zooming in above some certain threshold, the pixel bounds will be shown.
Adjust the threshold to dictate when the pixel will show. The bigger the threshold, the more we have to zoom in before the grid will appear.
Use this option to customize the checkerboard pattern on the canvas (colors, size), or turn it off completely.
This config is saved with the file, so it will reset each time we create a new file, but it gives us the ability to customize the canvas grid for files individually
Just a border around the canvas. The color border (black or white) will be determined based on the canvas background color.
We can turn this off if we find it distracting.
Reference layers by default can display outside of the working canvas. Turn this option on to clip any content of the reference layers outside of the canvas.
The canvas grid is great, but it's rendered below the content. If we need a grid to help us with the compositing of the content, we can turn this option on. When turned on, we can tap on the edit button to change the settings for guide line.
Enable this option if we want to show the guide line in the little preview of our canvas
With this option on, we can rotate the canvas with 2 finger twisting gesture.
Turn on this option to snap the zoom scale of the canvas to whole numbers (100%, 200%, 300%, and so on)
On supported devices, when we hover the pencil over the screen, a live preview of pixels will be shown on the canvas to show us how it will look when applied.
Some users find it annoying when the preview is shown even for small sizes, this setting was added so that we can dictate when the preview is shown: only when the size is equal to or bigger than the threshold.
This is where we find the current size of the canvas. If we need to resize it, we can do that here too.
We do that layer by layer, frame by frame with the move tool, or we can use this option and everything will be flipped in a finger snap.
Pixquare allows us to customize its UI however we'd like, but sometimes we overdo it and just want everything to return to its original position and size. Use this button to do that.
Similar to the , this is saved with each file
With the , we can flip the selected content. But what if we want to flip everything on the canvas horizontally or vertically?
