== Environment Variables ==
 
In addition to these command line options that Synfig understands, several environment variables can be set to affect the behaviour of Synfig Studio:-
 
  
The following affect the display of tools in the main dialog window:-<br>
+
<pre>synfig 0.62.00
<code>export SYNFIG_ENABLE_POLYGON=1<br>
+
Revision: 20100103
export SYNFIG_ENABLE_DRAW=1<br>
+
Branch: master
export SYNFIG_ENABLE_SKETCH=1<br>
+
Revision ID: fb90766f1019b0f6038b7004b250502f4833d4e2
export SYNFIG_ENABLE_WIDTH=1</code>
+
  
These two allow you to tweak the height of the timetrack so that it aligns with the parameters dialog <br>
