There are currently 3 ways to set the canvas size.

1: Use the command line options -W and -H or --width and --height to set the numbers of columns and lines. run "durdraw --help" for more command-line options.

2: Check the help screen and scroll down to the "Canvas Size" section. There are keys for increasing and decreasing the canvas size.

3: You can also use the -m or --max command-line option to start the canvas size at the maximum size for your terminal window.

I will continue to work on the canvas size stuff an making it easier to customize.

I like your idea of optionally centering the canvas in the screen. Thanks for the suggestion. I might do that in a future version. (Same with the .ini file.)

You might also consider increasing your terminal font size so the canvas is not so small, and moving it around to line up with the image in the back.

I'd have to revisit it to make sure it still works well, but it tries to support a transparent terminal by default, with the --blackbg option to force a black background in the canvas.

Edit: Canvas resize keys are: esc-" insert line esc-: delete line esc-> insert column esc-< delete column
