image rather then canvas color ???

Hello
is there anyway , that i can set the canvas backround to a small image
rather then just a color ?
i need to have the canvase backround set to small gif image that will tile
so i can undrestand where my othere images will go and how they would look
on that backround ..

Thanks

Tony:

2 approaches:

1) Create an extra Layer in the Layers panel and drop your background
gif into it, then move that Layer downwards on the stack and lock it.
You can now also draw safely over your Objects above the background
without *moving* the background.

I would instead go with the second approach though:

2) Create a Texture out of your background gif image. Then draw out a
Rectangle the size of your doent (most of the time the size of the
canvas). Now follow the same procedure as in the first approach.
