Domain wrap

Icon Domain wrap

Presentation

The domain wrap operator in the Layer Editor defines a section of the drawing using a gizmo. This area allows the drawing to fold back on itself and can be combined with other operators, such as tiling, to create seamless, repeating textures.

Example:

Canvas view

In the Canvas View, several interactions are possible with the Domain Wrap.
Upon creation, it is placed by default in the top left corner and has a size of 512 x 512 px.

Move the gizmo

Position the domain wrap gizmo as close as possible to the original drawing.
This way, any strokes made on another layer within the domain wrap area will be close to the original

Resize the gizmo

Properties

The properties are visible in the Layer Operator Properties.
