Canvas Menu Caret
#################

Whereas most graphics apps have a set of menus at the top of the screen, the top of the `MDI <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_document_interface>`_ window, or the top of the drawing window, Synfig has a Caret. A sideways one. It is located in the upper left hand corner of the |Canvas_Window|, and looks like this:

.. image:: caret_dat/Menu_Caret_0.63.06.png
   :align: center

Beneath this button are all the |menus| you would expect, from which you can access most of Synfig Studio's features:

   :align: center

In v.1.0.2 it may appear as a blank button in the top left.
