# New Features in xfig 3.2.3b

(Released Jul 19, 2000)

Object library now shows icons of all objects. The size of the icons is selectable from 40 pixels to 120 via a pulldown menu and resource (Fig.library_icon_size). The the old "list" view is also available.

Simplistic super/subscripting by typing Ctrl-^ for superscript and Ctrl-_ for subscript. It creates a new string in the proper size and position for super- or subscripting. May be nested.
