Figurine 1.0 Manual
View icons
Some of these icons are only visible when in the correct drawing mode, or selecting a suitable object.Here's a hint: learn the keyboard shortcuts for icons that open an icon menu. Then, when you select an object with the edit tool, the icon menu will appear directly under the cursor; this way you can change these parameters quickly. The view icons that open an icon menu are line style, pen colour, fill style, fill colour, join style, end style, arc settings, and text justification.
