This Canvas Properties dialog is used to establish the properties of the current main canvas. If you have defined the SYNFIG_ENABLE_NEW_CANVAS_EDIT_PROPERTIES environment variable, then this will automatically be displayed when you start a new project. To change these parameters while working on a project, go to the caret menu, select 'edit' and then 'properties'. Or you can alternatively use the keyboard shortcut F8.

In the main dialog you can set:

1. Canvas Info:
   • Name
   • Description

In the Image tab you can set:

1. Image Size:
   • Width
   • Height
   • X Resolution
   • Y Resolution
   • Physical Width
   • Physical Height
2. Image Area:
   • Top Left (x,y)
   • Bottom right (x,y) - Those parameters defining the Top Left and Bottom Right canvas corners relatively to the center of the coordinates.

In the Time tab you can set:

1. Time Info:
   • Frames per second
   • Start Time (seconds)
   • End Time (seconds)

In the Other tab you can set:

1. Locks and Links:
   • Image Width
   • Image Height
   • Image Aspect
   • Image Span
   • Pixel Width
