Drawing directly on the image
If the grid square button
is pressed then a menu of grid square
options appears.
The first of these is the option
to draw directly on the image. When this is selected the expanded view of the pixels
disappears and only the image itself is visible. At this point it is possible to
do all drawing directly on the image. This means IconPainter can be used to create large
images with all the same tools used to create small images.
It's also the case that it's not a good idea to work with a grid that has too many pixels
in it even though IconPainter can support this. Often a very large grid is very slow
to work with and operations such as rotate and shift can be done much more quickly if
drawing directly on the image.
