<span class="term">Use "Dot for dot" by default</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
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
the <a href="ch05s06s05.html" title="6.5. Scale Image">Scale Image</a>
section for more information.

<span class="term">Marching ants speed</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
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!).

<b>Zoom and Resize Behavior</b>
</p>
<dl>
<dt>
<span class="term">Resize window on zoom</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If this option is checked, then each time you zoom the
image, the image window will automatically resize to
follow it. Otherwise, the image window will maintain the
same size when you zoom the image.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Resize window on image size change</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If this option is checked, then each time change the size
of the image, by cropping or resizing it,
the image window will automatically resize to
follow. Otherwise, the image window will maintain the
same size.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Initial zoom ratio</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
You can choose either to have images, when they are first
opened, scaled so that the whole image fits comfortably on
your display, or else shown at 1:1 zoom. If you choose
the second option, and the image is too large to fit on
your display, then the image window will show only
part of it (but you will be able to scroll to other
parts).

<b>Mouse Cursors</b>
</p>
<dl>
<dt>
<span class="term">Show brush outline</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<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.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<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.
</p>
</dd>
<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>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Cursor rendering</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<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.
