View > Wireframe view

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+W

In Wireframe view nodes get shown as simple dots and all ways are the same color (unlike the more detailed mappaint default view (where nodes get shown as an icon, e.g. church, toilets etc., and ways are colored by type, and areas get shown as a colored fill)

It allows to see the imagery below the data layer in a much better way and to draw more precisely.

Property	Default	Explanation
mappaint.wireframe.use-antialiasing	false	If set to true, uses antialiasing to get a nicer (but potentially slower) rendering
