This dialog is used to establish the properties of the current main canvas. This dialog is automatically shown when you first start a project or if the SYNFIG_ENABLE_NEW_CANVAS_EDIT_PROPERTIES environment variable is defined. This dialog allows you to set the following parameters:

1. Canvas Info:
   • Name
   • Description
2. Image Size:
   • Width
   • Height
   • X Resolution
   • Y Resolution
   • Physical Width
   • Physical Height
3. Image Area:
   • Top Left (x,y)
   • Bottom right (x,y)
4. Locks and Links:
   • Pixel Aspect
   • Pixel Width
   • Pixel Height
   • Image Aspect
   • Image Width
   • Image Height
   • Image Span
5. Time Info:
   • Frames per second
   • Start Time (seconds)
   • End Time (seconds)
6. Other:
   • Focus Point

To change these parameters while working on a project, go to the caret menu, select 'edit' and then 'properties'. Alternatively use the keyboard shortcut F8.
