Note
Note that the help browser is not available on all platforms. If it is missing, the web-browser will be used to allow
access to the help pages.
WEB BROWSER
Web browser to use If you selected ‘GIMP help browser’ for the Help browser, this option has no effect. If you selected ‘Web
browser’, you can decide here which browser to use, and how to invoke it, by entering the command that will be used to
run the browser. The button to the right brings up a file selector, which you can use to locate the executable file for the
browser if you like, but in most cases it is probably easier to enter a command by hand.

Figure 13.57: Tool Options Preferences
This page lets you customize several aspects of the behavior of tools.
13.5.2.7.1 Options
GUIDE AND GRID SNAPPIN G
Snap distance "Snapping" to guides, or to an image grid, means that when a tool is applied by clicking somewhere on the image
display, if the clicked point is near enough to a guide or grid, it is shifted exactly onto the guide or grid. Snapping to
guides can be toggled using View → Snap to Guides in the image menu; and if the grid is switched on, snapping to it can
be toggled using View → Snap to Grid. This preference option determines how close a clicked point must be to a guide or
grid in order to be snapped onto it, in pixels.
