On this page, we will illustrate each icon’s function. We’ll break them down into function subsets to make them easier to discuss.

Note: Please be aware that many of the icons only show up under conditions pertinent to how the image is being used. For example, if you are using an image asset, but are not using it as a map with PCs/NPCs/etc., your Toggleable Toolbar may look similar to this:

Map View Modes

  1. Zoom To Fit - This will increase the image to fit the canvas area of the window.

  2. View Mode Toggle - Camera - This will toggle Camera View mode.

  3. View Mode Toggle - Token - This will toggle Token View mode.

You can freely toggle back and forth between Camera and Token modes without having to return to 2D (Top Down) mode first. Clicking either button twice will return you to 2D (Top Down) mode.

  1. Ping Mode - This will toggle Ping Mode, which allows the GM to use the Ping features.

Note: As GM, the Ping color corresponds with the color set in Options → Color: Active character.
