Resizing the applet

The applet may not be the size you want. To resize it there are two methods:

Restore size to default

The default applet size is one of the system preferences and can be set by the user.

Contract to size of the box drawn

This should be selected after drawing a box on the applet just as you would for describing a component.

Lengthen by default length

This options adds the default page length to the current length. Widening by the default width has a similar effect.

Minimise size for current components

This option will contract the applet to the smallest possible size that accomodates the components in the applet. The minimise length and width options have a similar function.

Center components

This option takes all the components and moves them so they are centered on the display area.

Note: The applets current size is maintained between AppletPainter sessions.
