  <title>Basic features</title>

  <p>"Drawing" is a basic drawing application for the GNOME desktop, which can
  edit or create pictures (PNG, JPEG or BMP).</p>
  <p>Basic features are located in the header of the window, such as the
  <gui style="button">Open</gui> button, the <gui style="button">Save</gui>
  button, and the main menu.</p>

  <section>
    <title>The "New" menu</title>

    <p>This menu allows you to create a new image. Several options are
    available:</p>
    <list>
      <item>
        <p>Create a new blank image, in a new tab.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Create a new image from the current <link xref="selection_tools">
        selection</link>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Create a new image from the clipboard content.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Open a new window with a new blank image.</p>
      </item>
    </list>
    <p>If the window size is too small to display its button, the
    <gui style="button">New</gui> menu is merged in the main menu.</p>
  </section>

  <section>
    <title>The "Open" button</title>

    <p>Open a picture file from your documents.</p>
    <p>If the window size is too small to display its button, the
    <gui style="button">Open</gui> menu is available in the main menu.</p>
  </section>

  <section>
    <title>The main menu</title>

    <media type="image" mime="image/png" width="450"
    src="figures/screenshot_menu.png" its:translate="no"/>
    <list>
      <item>
        <p>Print the picture.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>See the pictures properties, such as its size and colorspace.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Export the image or save it as a new file. Both options don't overwrite
        the original file. With <gui style="menuitem">Export as…</gui>, you keep
        editing the original file, but <gui style="menuitem">Save as…</gui> closes
        the original file and makes you edit the new one.</p>

    <gui style="button">Redo</gui> buttons are located in the header of the
    window.</p>
