Canvas Size

I just wondering if / how i can change the image size of the canvas?

I searched the forum about "image size" and
"canvas size" but got no results.
I also searched the "INFO (manual)" ... but all i
found is "brush size" settings, no info about the canvas size.

Re: Canvas Size

:!: [Shift] + [F2] turns on Adjust Canvas Area. Hit [Shift]+[F2] again to confirm the changes! Hit [F2] alone to cancel the changes!
:!: - Grab the corners with [LMB] to adjust the crop area freely and [RMB] to keep proportions!
:!: - Grab the edges to just adjust the chosen edge!
:!: - Hold [Alt] to adjust crop area symmetrical around original canvas center!
:!: - Grab inside the crop area to move the whole crop area!

This is how you change the size of the canvas! It will not resize your image, though, but "crop" or expand the area around your image in this version.
In the upcoming versions it will be different! ;)

Re: Canvas Size

Thanks for the quick answer!

I just play with Verve ... since yesterday and it amazing.
I work as 3D Animator... 3ds max, Realflow, etc... i know that it took
a lot of render time to simulate fluid stuff... i also know the "Demoscene".
(thats where i started)
So i know coders did amazing stuff in 64kilobytes.
I just want to say that what you did is really really amazing!
I love this tool soooo much. Its so easy to play with.
The word that descripes it best is "intuitiv". With every other tool
you have to "solve problems" rather than play with the brushes, etc.
But your tool.... i'm feeling that this the first time i'm in front of a computer and
"PLAY".
I could go on and on. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work. I LOVE IT!

:oops: :lol: ...I'm so happy now! :bounce:
Thanks, man, I can thank you enough for this encouragement! I imagine, it's because we both come from 3d animation that you can appreciate what I'm doing with Verve. I really don't want some pretentious simulation, but offer a new paint medium at its very own nature. I know, I have to compromise a little as this evolves, but I'll do my best to maintain this kind of integrity. When you're on the computer, you shouldn't have to fight it, but work with its strengths. :geek:

Man, I would've loved to squeeze Verve down even more, because it actually could be a whole lot tighter. I'm developing this in BlitzMax, which has a good deal of redundancy in its compilation. But I like that it prepares me well to go cross platform as soon as I get the chance! And I don't have to deal with a whole bunch of stuff that is unnerving.
I very much admire the demo scene and share a good deal of that passion. My days of those predate the birth of many on this forum, hahahahaha, waaahh, and predate decent machines, of course, but- man- did we love it!

Hardware is so incredibly powerful for some time already, but nobody seems to have cared about really making use of it. I know, it's rough, because of compatibility matters and customer pools and all that, but this is how the system holds everyone back and it's part of my rebellion to just move forward and allow people to find something fun to play with, once they catch up with their computers, while in the meantime all of us, who have already such powerful machines get to enjoy a bit more of what they can offer! :)

Thanks again, Bunny! Oh, check out the Vervatar challenge to make yourself one for here...it's fun exercise, too! ;)
