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 {{l|Environment Variables|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 {{l|Canvas_Menu_Caret|caret menu]], select '{{l|Edit Menu|edit]]' and then 'properties'. Or you can alternatively use the {{l|Keyboard Shortcuts|keyboard shortcut]] F8.
