Flag Size: For 25mm figures a good size is the default 100 X 100 pixels, which for most displays comes out to 25mm X 25mm. The current symbols and shapes have been designed for this size flag.

  • ctrl+t: Bring all selected elements to the top.

  • r or l: Free-rotate all selected images right or left.

  • ctrl+y: Center all selected elements in the nearest flag pane. If multiple are selected, they will all be piled atop one another. usually you use this to center a background or a single image.

• Use the color blocks feature to create lines and rectangles of different colors, lengths, and thicknesses. You can give them a thin black border. You can also rotate them, the same as images. You have to click the "place color blocks" checkbox to get them to be created when you click in the flag area.
