	The two buttons below define the aspect ratio of the pixels. This is
	the ratio between the X and Y dimensions of the pixel of the image.
	By default it is 1:1 since computer screen pixels are square, but can be varied
	if television shorts are being made since TV pixels are not square.

>&#13;It is possible to render an image in pieces, one after the other,
rather than all at one time. This can be useful for very complex scenes,
where rendering small sections one after the other only requires
computation of a small part of the scene, which uses less memory.
