Changing the grid dimensions

When IconPainter is run for the first time the icon size defaults to 32 by 32 pixels however this can be altered to accomodate whatever image size is required and there are no limits on what dimension can be used.

As the number of rows and coloumns are changed it may be also wise to change the number of pixels in each square of the pixel grid. This number will depend on the resolution of the particular screen being used and what grid size you want to work with. If the grid gets too large things may slow down to an unacceptable level and it may be better to draw directly on the image.

If the grid cannot be accomodated on the screen then scrollbars will automatically appear so there is access to the whole grid.

Changing the grid size will automatically resize any image displayed to fit the new size. Any current filename is also reset to prevent the user inadvertently overwriting the old image with the new. All dimension changes are remembered by the product between sessions.
