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?
