<h2>View menu</h2>
<p>The View menu contains commands that can be used to change the way the
image or workspace are presented to you.</p>
<ul>
<li class="nobullet"><p><img border="0" src="Images/viewmenu.gif" width="327" height="258"></p></li>
<li>
<h3>Zoom In</h3>
<p>This zooms in closer to the image. The zoom percentage is increased
to the next power-of-two percentage (e.g., 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%,
1600%, 3200%).</p></li>
<li>
<h3>Zoom Out</h3><p>This zooms out on the image, decreasing the zoom level to the next
lower power-of-two percentage.</p></li>
<li><h3><a name="zoomToWindow"></a>Zoom to Window</h3>
<p>When this item is selected, the zoom level is maintained such that
the image always fits within the Paint.NET window. The zoom level will
not be set higher than 100%, however.</p></li>
<li><h3>Zoom to Selection</h3>
<p>If you have an area of the image selected, this menu command will
fit the viewable area around the rectangle that bounds the selection.</p></li>
<li><h3>Actual Size</h3>
<p>This sets the zoom level to 100%. Each pixel you see on screen
corresponds exactly to one pixel in the active layer.</p></li>
<li><h3><a name="grid"></a>Grid</h3>
<p>This allows you to show or hide the grid, which is useful when you
have zoomed-in on an image and wish to perform precise per-pixel
editing. </p>
<p>The grid is only visible when the zoom level is 200% or higher.</p>
<p> This is how the canvas looks when the grid is enabled. Notice how each
pixel is surrounded by a dotted rectangle:</p>
<p><img border="0" src="../images/grid.png" width="290" height="290"></p></li>
<li><h3>Rulers</h3>
<p>This option can be used to show or hide the rulers that are
available for the top and left edges of the image canvas. These can help
you align drawings to specific positions on the image without the need
to watch the cursor position in the status bar.
When a selection is active, its bounding rectangle will be highlighted
in the rulers.</p>
<p>
<img border="1" src="../images/rulers.jpg"></p></li>
<li><h3><a name="units"></a>Units</h3>
<p>This lets you select how image coordinates are presented to you in
various parts of the user interface including the rulers and the status
bar. The default is pixels. If you select inches or centimeters, extra
calculations are performed to convert pixel measurements into inches and
centimeters. These calculations are based off the image's DPI settings,
which can be adjusted by the <a href="Image.html#Resize">Image <b>→</b> Resize</a> command.</p></li>
