Customizing the View

This section covers how Mari displays the model on screen.

You can set:

• how the model rotation works - the model movement speed, friction, and whether it uses momentum (see Keyboard Shortcuts for model rotation shortcuts).

• the background displayed behind the model - either a color, a gradient, or an image.

• the color for the paintable area (when it displays).

• the quality settings for the display (how much detail to show).

• whether to show the wireframe model, and how to display it.

• in the UV view, whether to show gridlines or labels.

You can also adjust the focus of your canvas by hovering your cursor over the point on the model that you want to focus on and pressing F. The canvas centers on that part of the model at the current view size and angle. If the cursor is hovering over the canvas where no part of the model is present, pressing F instead brings the entire model to focus.
