Notes

• To delete layers
  • There are [+] and [-] buttons at the bottom of the layer-list windowlet. [-] deletes the selected layer.
  • Sometimes there will be a "Delete Current Layer" option in the right-click menu (maybe only on Windows?)
• To round the corners of a square:
  • Method 1:
    • select the shape (with the arrow (select) tool)
    • select the "create rectangles and squares" tool (from the tool list)
    • at the top of the window, there will be controls labeled Rx and Ry. You can use the scroll wheel on those to increase rounding (starts at zero).
  • Method 2:
    • select object with the select tool, then select the second tool (node editor thingy) then pull the circle on the top right of it
• To center an object:
  • Object > Align and Distribute
• To edit a gradient:
  • Select the gradient tool on the bar at left
  • This should show a line which has at least two points on it.
    • You can move this line to orient/position the gradient.
    • Clicking on a point puts that point's color into the color-editor on the right.
