- Using "Dot for dot" means that at 1:1 zoom, each pixel is
- the image is scaled to one pixel on the display. If "Dot
- for dot" is not used, then the displayed image size is
- determined by the X and Y resolution of the image. See

- When you create a selection, the edge of it is shown as
- a dashed line with dashes that appear to move, marching
- slowly along the boundary: they are jokingly called
- "marching ants". The smaller the value entered here, the
- faster the ants march (and consequently the more distracting
- they are!).

- You can choose either to have images, when they are first

- the second option, and the image is too large to fit on
- your display, then the image window will show only

- <p>
- If this option is checked, then when you use a paint tool,
- the outline of the brush will be shown on the image as you
- move the pointer around. On slow systems, if the brush is
- very large, this could occasionally cause some lag in
- GIMP's ability to follow your movements: if so, switching
- this off might help. Otherwise, you will probably find it
- quite useful.

- <span class="term">Show paint tool cursor</span>
- </dt>
- <dd>
- <p>
- If this is checked, a cursor will be shown. This is in
- addition to the brush outline, if the brush outline is
- being shown. The type of cursor is determined by the next
- option.

- <dt>
- <span class="term">Cursor mode</span>
- </dt>
- <dd>
- <p>
- This option has no effect unless "Show paint tool cursor"
- is checked. If it is, you have three choices: "Tool
- icon", which causes a small iconic representation of the
- currently active tool to be shown beside the cursor; "Tool
- icon with crosshair", which shows the icon as well as a
- crosshair indicating the center of the cursor; or
- "Crosshair only".

- <p>
- If you choose "Fancy" here, the cursor is drawn in
- grayscale. If you choose "Black and White", it is drawn
- in a simpler way that may speed things up a little bit if
- you have speed issues.
