[Ipe-discuss] having the green box around text temporarily invisible - for screenshots

[Otfried Cheong]

Install Ipe 7.1.6, and select "Pretty display" in the zoom menu.

Also, instead of making a screenshot, have a look at the "iperender"
program, which will turn your Ipe document in a PNG image.

Cheers,
 Otfried
