21    The <guimenuitem>Fit Canvas to Layers</guimenuitem> command adapts the
22    canvas size to the size of the largest layer in the image, in both width
23    and height.

25  <para>
26    When you create or open an image, the canvas size is defined as the
27    image size and remains unchanged if you add new layers. If you add a
28    layer larger than the canvas, only the area limited by the canvas will be
29    visible. To show the whole layer, use this command.
