The option dialog available with the "Setup" function from the "File" menu offers
numerous configuration options from background to rulers configuration.
In this dialog for example, the color palette can be edited, so that different colors
are available or the stipple palette can be configured.
In addition, it is possible to define the order how these colors or stipples are
assigned to layers initially and which colors are not used for layer coloring.
A particular useful feature is the oversampling scheme.
Oversampling is provided as an option to enhance the image quality. The image is rendered
at a higher resolution and then downsampled to the screen resolution. In effect, lines appear
thinner and more details can be resolved. As a negative side effect currently the
stipple pattern becomes finer and the crosses in marker mode are smaller. On the other hand
the resolution effect can be quite impressive.
Oversampling can
be enabled on the "Display/General" page in the setup dialog. 2x and 3x oversampling is
provided. The following screenshots illustrate the effect of oversampling:
