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). Nodes being part of more than one way are still bigger and nodes with tags are solid. Ways with relation membership are displayed with a triple line instead of a single one.

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

Advanced Preferences

Property	Default	Explanation
mappaint.wireframe.use-antialiasing	false	If set to true, uses antialiasing to get a nicer (but potentially slower) rendering
mappaint.wireframe.show-relation-outlines	true	If set to false, ways which are members of a relation are drawn with a single line instead of a triple line
