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?
