[squeakland] Creating large sketches?

[James Davis]

Hello -- How do you create a sketch of a size larger than the default  
size? I want to create something like the "Seaside" pictures on the  
etoysillinois,org site (creating a big background picture that works  
like a stage set).

When I create a new sketch, it has particular dimensions. If I resize  
the drawing it stretches what I have drawn. When I go back to  
editing / repainting the sketch that I stretched, the sketch window is  
at it's original size/dimensions. (Well not exactly the original  
dimensions -- each time I go to repaint the sketch, it looks Etoys  
adds about 30 pixels on the left and right.)

If I change the height and width via the Viewer, it looks like that is  
the same as stretching the sketch (when I go back to repainting, the  
sketch is resized to its original dimensions).

I would like to do all of the drawing inside Etoys (instead of making  
a large bitmap with another tool and bringing it into EToys.

So... Is there a way to resize the initial drawing area for a sketch?
