    31 You can cause an arrow to be drawn at the end of each segment, to show the direction in which the segment was drawn.  You can also choose to have that arrow drawn only at the end of the way instead.  Also, for some ways that have direction dependent tags (like oneway) oneway arrows can be shown.
    32 
    33 You can choose to show the boundary of downloaded data.  When downloading an area you get and see all the data within the rectangular bounding box you chose. This includes complete ways extending outside that box.  It therefore becomes difficult to distinguish which areas contain full or partial data.  If you check the "Draw boundaries of downloaded data" box, yellow hatching is drawn over all the areas into which data has not been fully downloaded.  You should avoid adding or editing data in areas of yellow hatching as it may duplicate already existing data or conflict with data you don't see.
    34 
    35 You can choose to display inactive layers in a different color.
    36 
    37 In addition to these, the option to switch from "wireframe" to "paint" view can be found on the 'View' menu

    39 [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Filter#Autofilters Auto filters] can be enabled here and the key to be used for the autofilter can be chosen.

    43 == Colors == #Colors
    44 Color choices. These largely relate to display of OSM data layers too.  You can change the color scheme for the display of nodes, ways, background, etc.  "Paint style" options all relate to the non-wireframe view ('View' menu option)
