Layers

As bitmap softwares (The Gimp) You can work on different layers.
Here are the possibilities offered by this toolbox :

New layer :
Click on this button to add a layer; a dialog box appear and ask you a name for the layer. You can modify this name by double-clicking on it.
The layer you are currently working on is the one with a sunken button (layer 1 in the image above).
You can move them with the arrows.

Eye :
The eye indicates to you if the layer is visible or not. It very useful when you work on complex composition.
This button is also used to show/mask the grids and guides of the corresponding layer.

Bolt :
This function is used when you want to protect a layer. In this case, Edit and Selection Mode are unavailable.

Wire Mode :
The Wire Mode shows only the outline of the objects.
This can speed up the display without masking a layer.
 

Thread/Guides colors :
The color shown in this box is the color used to draw threads and guides on the current layer.

Printed layer
You can specify if you want to print or no a layer. This works with Postscript export.
