Fireworks is both a vector graphics and a bitmap
graphics application. Vector objects are composed of
paths, and bitmap objects are composed of individual
pixels. Fireworks combines the organic look of bitmap
objects with the flexibility, control, and editability of
Bézier paths.
Launching Fireworks displays the document window,
your interface to the illustration. A Fireworks canvas
can be up to 6000 pixels wide by 6000 pixels tall. Move,
resize, or hide the panels, Toolbox, and toolbars to
customize your environment.
