The MAXMaps Options window

Apply grid – this option “snaps” your objects to a grid, which is visualized in the background. This allows you to more easily line up objects in straight lines, and the grid will not be shown in exported pictures.

Reduce imported images to this size – this setting determines how imported images are handled. You can select "300px", "600px" (= standard), "1,200px" or “Original size”. The longest side of an imported picture is then reduced to the maximum pixel size. Background pictures are always imported in their original size.

Visualize document links – when this box is checked, document links are visualized by a blue line between documents, as soon as documents are inserted into a map.

Display comment in tooltip of coded segment - when this box is checked, comments to a coded segment are displayed as tooltips, when you hover the mouse cursor on the coded segment while having the synchro mode activated.
