Menu Frame

This menu contains functions that refer to a single image or an animation frame.

Clear

Clears current image, a range of frames or the whole animation by filling it with the current background color. To define what is to be erased see the Clear Tool in the description of the Toolbox.
By default only the current frame is cleared. If alpha is enabled then all alpha data is set to full transparency.

Switches to the next frame of the animation.

Switches to the previous image of the animation.

First Frame

Jumps to the first image of the animation.

Last Frame

Jumps to the last image of the animation.

Resize

Enables you to resize an image or animation.

Copy

You can copy single frames or ranges with this function.

Insert

Inserts an image to the current position. The current image is automatically copied into the new image.

Delete

Removes the current image from the animation.

Spare Frame (submenu)

The spare frame is a separate image that can be used for different purposes. For example you can do little test drawings, use it as a snippet container, take it as a background image for your animation together with the light table. It is also used by the paint mode Rub Through (see menu Mode).

Frame -> Spare Frame
Copies the current image to the spare frame.

Frame <- Spare Frame
Copies spare frame to the current image.

Frame <-> Spare Frame
Swaps spare frame with current image.

Scroll (submenu)

Here you can scroll the entire image pixelwise to the directions:

Left, Right, Up, Down
Scrolls to the corresponding direction.

Scroll all Frames
When selected, all frames of an animation will be scrolled.

Background fixed

This function simply takes the current image and uses it as background. If you now draw something on this image with the foreground color it can be removed again by using the background color. Instead of drawing with the background color the image is restored. See also the toolbox.
