Working with views

Apart from changing the zoom level of your view, you can also open different views for the same image. This way, you can for example look at two different parts of your image that would not fit on your screen together otherwise.

New view windows

You can open a new chalk window for your image by choosing View->New View Both windows are independent from each other (so you can select different tools, view different parts of your image, etc.), but changes you make to the image in one window are immediately visible in the other. To close a window, use the normal window closing button. There is also an option View->Close All Views, which closes all newly created views and leaves only the original window open.

Splitting views

You can also split a window into two views. Like a new window, one view of a split window has its own settings for brushes, zoom levels and the like, but both views are shown in the same window. To split your window, choose View->Split View. The viewing area of the chalk window will then be divided into two halves. You can switch between horizontal and vertical division with the View->Splitter Orientation menu, and get back to one view by choosing View->Remove View.
