Canvas & Image Settings

Canvas & Image settings control what is visible on the canvas, the resolution of knot images, and the size of the canvas on-screen.

Use this to switch between a black or white canvas background independent of the site’s color theme.

Use this to toggle the display of pin labels on the canvas.

Use this to toggle grid lines where Column Coding is applied.

Use this to toggle grid lines where Row Coding is applied.

Use this to toggle the grid boundary used for size estimates.

Image DPI is useful for printing knot images to match physical dimensions. A common use case is sizing the image to fit a mandrel using a combination of Stretch Grid and DPI. Here Image DPI should match your printer’s DPI.

Canvas Scale lets you adjust the size of the on-screen canvas for better viewing. It does not impact knot size or strand length estimates.
