                                     About

What Is 'Tux Paint?'

       Tux Paint is a free drawing program designed for young children (kids
       ages 3 and up). It has a simple, easy-to-use interface, fun sound
       effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who helps guide children as
       they use the program. It provides a blank canvas and a variety of
       drawing tools to help your child be creative.

License:

       Tux Paint is an Open Source project, Free Software released under the
       GNU General Public License (GPL). It is free, and the 'source code'
       behind the program is available. (This allows others to add features,
       fix bugs, and use parts of the program in their own GPL'd software.)

       See COPYING.txt for the full text of the GPL license.

Objectives:

       Easy and Fun
               Tux Paint is meant to be a simple drawing program for young
               children. It is not meant as a general-purpose drawing tool.
               It is meant to be fun and easy to use. Sound effects and a
               cartoon character help let the user know what's going on, and
               keeps them entertained. There are also extra-large
               cartoon-style mouse pointer shapes.

       Extensibility
               Tux Paint is extensible. Brushes and "rubber stamp" shapes can
               be dropped in and pulled out. For example, a teacher can drop
               in a collection of animal shapes and ask their students to
               draw an ecosystem. Each shape can have a sound which is
               played, and textual facts which are displayed, when the child
               selects the shape.

       Portability
               Tux Paint is portable among various computer platforms:
               Windows, Macintosh, Linux, etc. The interface looks the same
               among them all. Tux Paint runs suitably well on older systems
               (like a Pentium 133), and can be built to run better on slow
               systems.

       Simplicity
               There is no direct access to the computer's underlying
               intricacies. The current image is kept when the program quits,
               and reappears when it is restarted. Saving images requires no
               need to create filenames or use the keyboard. Opening an image
               is done by selecting it from a collection of thumbnails.
               Access to other files on the computer is restricted.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                Using Tux Paint

Loading Tux Paint

  Linux/Unix Users

         Tux Paint should have placed a laucher icon in your KDE and/or GNOME
         menus, under 'Graphics.'

         Alternatively, you can run the following command at a shell prompt
         (e.g., "$"):

           $ tuxpaint

         If any errors occur, they will be displayed on the terminal (to
         "stderr").

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Windows Users

                                                                    [Icon]
                                                                   Tux Paint

         If you installed Tux Paint on your computer using the
         'Tux Paint Installer,' it will have asked you whether you wanted a
         'Start' menu short-cut, and/or a desktop shortcut. If you agreed,
         you can simply run Tux Paint from the 'Tux Paint' section of your
         'Start' menu (e.g., under "All Programs" on Windows XP), or by
         double-clicking the "Tux Paint" icon on your desktop.

         If you installed Tux Paint using the 'ZIP-file' download, or if you
         used the 'Tux Paint Installer,' but chose not to have shortcuts
         installed, you'll need to double-click the "tuxpaint.exe" icon in
         the 'Tux Paint' folder on your computer.

         By default, the 'Tux Paint Installer' will put Tux Paint's folder in
         "C:\Program Files\", though you may have changed this when the
         installer ran.

         If you used the 'ZIP-file' download, Tux Paint's folder will be
         wherever you put it when you unzipped the ZIP file.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Mac OS X Users

         Simply double-click the "Tux Paint" icon.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Title Screen

       When Tux Paint first loads, a title/credits screen will appear.

                               [Title Screenshot]

       Once loading is complete, press a key or click on the mouse to
       continue. (Or, after about 30 seconds, the title screen will go away
       automatically.)

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main Screen

       The main screen is divided into the following sections:

       Left Side: Toolbar

               The toolbar contains the drawing and editing controls.

[Tools: Paint, Stamp, Lines, Shapes, Text, Magic, Undo, Redo, Eraser, New, Open,
                               Save, Print, Quit]

       Middle: Drawing Canvas

               The largest part of the screen, in the center, is the drawing
               canvas. This is, obviously, where you draw!

                                   [(Canvas)]

       Right Side: Selector

               Depending on the current tool, the selector shows different
               things. e.g., when the Paint Brush tool is selected, it shows
               the various brushes available. When the Rubber Stamp tool is
               selected, it shows the different shapes you can use.

                 [Selectors - Brushes, Letters, Shapes, Stamps]

       Lower: Colors

               A palette of available colors are shown near the bottom of the
               screen.

 [Colors - Black, White, Red, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple,
                                  Brown, Grey]

               (NOTE: You can define your own colors for Tux Paint. See the
               "Options" documentation.)

       Bottom: Help Area

               At the very bottom of the screen, Tux, the Linux Penguin,
               provides tips and other information while you draw.

(For example: 'Pick a shape. Click to pick the center, drag, then let go when it
     is the size you want. Move around to rotate it, and click to draw it.)

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Available Tools

  Drawing Tools

         Paint (Brush)

                 The Paint Brush tool lets you draw freehand, using various
                 brushes (chosen in the Selector on the right) and colors
                 (chosen in the Color palette towards the bottom).

                 If you hold the mouse button down, and move the mouse, it
                 will draw as you move.

                 As you draw, a sound is played. The bigger the brush, the
                 lower the pitch.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Stamp (Rubber Stamp)

                 The Stamp tool is like a set of rubber stamps or stickers.
                 It lets you paste pre-drawn or photographic images (like a
                 picture of a horse, or a tree, or the moon) in your picture.

                 As you move the mouse around the canvas, an outline follows
                 the mouse, showing where the stamp will be placed, and how
                 big it will be.

                 There can be numerous categories of stamps (e.g., animals,
                 plants, outer space, vehicles, people, etc.). Use the Left
                 and Right arrows to cycle through the collections.

                 Some stamps can be colored or tinted. If the color palette
                 below the canvas is activated, you can click the colors to
                 change the tint or color of the stamp before placing it in
                 the picture.

                 Stamps can be shrunk and expanded, and many stamps can be
                 flipped vertically, or displayed as a mirror-image, using
                 controls at the bottom right of the screen.

                 Different stamps can have different sound effects and/or
                 descriptive (spoken) sounds. Buttons at the lower left (near
                 Tux, the Linux penguin) allow you to re-play the sound
                 effects and descriptive sounds for the currently-selected
                 stamp.

                 (NOTE: If the "nostampcontrols" option is set, Tux Paint
                 won't display the Mirror, Flip, Shrink and Grow controls for
                 stamps. See the "Options" documentation.)

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Lines

                 This tool lets you draw straight lines using the various
                 brushes and colors you normally use with the Paint Brush.

                 Click the mouse and hold it to choose the starting point of
                 the line. As you move the mouse around, a thin 'rubber-band'
                 line will show where the line will be drawn.

                 Let go of the mouse to complete the line. A "sproing!" sound
                 will play.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Shapes

                 This tool lets you draw some simple filled, and un-filled
                 shapes.

                 Select a shape from the selector on the right (circle,
                 square, oval, etc.).

                 In the canvas, click the mouse and hold it to stretch the
                 shape out from where you clicked. Some shapes can change
                 proportion (e.g., rectangle and oval), others cannot (e.g.,
                 square and circle).

                 Let go of the mouse when you're done stretching.

                      Normal Mode

                              Now you can move the mouse around the canvas to
                              rotate the shape.

                              Click the mouse button again and the shape will
                              be drawn in the current color.

                      Simple Shapes Mode
                              If simple shapes are enabled (e.g., with the
                              "--simpleshapes" option), the shape will be
                              drawn on the canvas when you let go of the
                              mouse button. (There's no rotation step.)

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Text

                 Choose a font (from the 'Letters' available on the right)
                 and a color (from the color palette near the bottom). Click
                 on the screen and a cursor will appear. Type text and it
                 will show up on the screen.

                 Press [Enter] or [Return] and the text will be drawn onto
                 the picture and the cursor will move down one line.

                 Alternatively, press [Tab] and the text will be drawn onto
                 the picture, but the cursor will move to the right of the
                 text, rather than down a line, and to the left. (This can be
                 useful to create a line of text with mixed colors, fonts,
                 styles and sizes: Like this.)

                 Clicking elsewhere in the picture while the text entry is
                 still active causes the current line of text to move to that
                 location (where you can continue editing it).

                      International Character Input

                              Tux Paint allows inputting characters in
                              different languages. Most Latin characters
                              (A-Z, n, e, etc.) can by entered directly. Some
                              languages require that Tux Paint be switched
                              into an alternate input mode before entering,
                              and some characters must be composed using
                              numerous keypresses.

                              When Tux Paint's locale is set to one of the
                              languages that provide alternate input modes, a
                              key is used to cycle through normal (Latin
                              character) and locale-specific mode or modes.

                              Currently supported locales, the input methods
                              available, and the key to toggle or cycle
                              modes, are listed below. Note: Many fonts do
                              not include all characters for all languages,
                              so sometimes you'll need to change fonts to see
                              the characters you're trying to type.

                                 * Japanese -- Romanized Hiragana and
                                   Romanized Katakana -- right [Alt]
                                 * Korean -- Hangul 2-Bul -- right [Alt] or
                                   left [Alt]

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Magic (Special Effects)

                              The 'Magic' tool is actually a set of special
                              tools. Select one of the "magic" effects from
                              the selector on the right, and then click and
                              drag around the picture to apply the effect.

                                   Fill
                                        This floods the picture with a color.
                                        It lets you quickly fill parts of the
                                        picture, as if it were a coloring
                                        book.

                                   Grass
                                        This paints grass on the image. The
                                        higher up the canvas, the smaller the
                                        grass is drawn, giving an illusion of
                                        perspective. The grass can be tinted
                                        various greenish hues by selecting
                                        different colors in the color
                                        palette.

                                   Bricks (Large and Small)
                                        These two tools intelligently paint
                                        large and small brick patterns on the
                                        canvas. The bricks can be tinted
                                        various redish hues by selecting
                                        different colors in the color
                                        palette.

                                   Rainbow
                                        This is similar to the paint brush,
                                        but as you move the mouse around, it
                                        cycles through a spectrum of bright
                                        colors.

                                   Sparkles
                                        This draws glowing sparkles on the
                                        canvas, in the currently-selected
                                        color.

                                   Blur
                                        This makes the picture fuzzy wherever
                                        you drag the mouse.

                                   Smudge
                                        This pushes the colors around under
                                        the mouse, like finger painting with
                                        wet paint.

                                   Lighten
                                        This fades the colors wherever you
                                        drag the mouse. (Do it to the same
                                        spot many times, and it will
                                        eventually become white.)

                                   Darken
                                        This dakrens the colors wherever you
                                        drag the mouse. (Do it to the same
                                        spot many times, and it will
                                        eventually become black.)

                                   Chalk
                                        This makes parts of the picture
                                        (where you move the mouse) look like
                                        a chalk drawing.

                                   Blocks
                                        This makes the picture blocky looking
                                        ("pixelated") wherever you drag the
                                        mouse.

                                   Negative
                                        This inverts the colors wherever you
                                        drag the mouse. (e.g., white becomes
                                        black, and vice versa.)

                                   Tint
                                        This changes the parts of the picture
                                        to the selected color.

                                   Drip
                                        This makes the paint "drip" wherever
                                        you move the mouse.

                                   Cartoon
                                        This makes the picture look like a
                                        cartoon -- with thick outlines and
                                        bright, solid colors -- wherever you
                                        move the mouse.

                                   Mirror
                                        When you click the mouse in your
                                        picture with the "Mirror" magic
                                        effect selected, the entire image
                                        will be reversed, turning it into a
                                        mirror image.

                                   Flip
                                        Similar to "Mirror." Click and the
                                        entire image will be turned
                                        upside-down.

                      Eraser

                              This tool is similar to the Paint Brush.
                              Wherever you click (or click and drag), the
                              picture will be erased either to white, or to
                              the background picture, if you began the
                              current drawing with a 'Starter' image.

                              A number of eraser sizes are available.

                              As you move the mouse around, a square outline
                              follows the pointer, showing what part of the
                              picture will be erased to white.

                              As you erase, a "squeaky clean" eraser/wiping
                              sound is played.

                        Undo

                                Clicking this tool will undo the last drawing
                                action. You can even undo more than once!

                                Note: You can also press [Control]-[Z] on the
                                keyboard to undo.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        Redo

                                Clicking this tool will redo the drawing
                                action you just "undid" with the 'Undo'
                                button.

                                As long as you don't draw again, you can redo
                                as many times as you had "undone!"

                                Note: You can also press [Control]-[R] on the
                                keyboard to redo.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        New

                                Clicking the "New" button will start a new
                                drawing. You will first be asked whether you
                                really want to do this.

                                Note: You can also press [Control]-[N] on the
                                keyboard to start a new drawing.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        Open

                                This shows you a list of all of the pictures
                                you've saved. If there are more than can fit
                                on the screen, use the "Up" and "Down" arrows
                                at the top and bottom of the list to scroll
                                through the list of pictures.

                                Click a picture to select it, then...

                                     * Click the green "Open" button at the
                                       lower left of the list to load the
                                       selected picture.

                                       (Alternatively, you can double-click a
                                       picture's icon to load it.)

                                     * Click the brown "Erase" (trash can)
                                       button at the lower right of the list
                                       to erase the selected picture. (You
                                       will be asked to confirm.)

                                     * Click the blue "Slides" (slide
                                       projector) button at the lower left to
                                       go to slideshow mode. See "Slides",
                                       below, for details.

                                     * Or click the red "Back" arrow button
                                       at the lower right of the list to
                                       cancel and return to the picture you
                                       were drawing.

                                'Starter' Images

                                  Along with pictures you've created,
                                  Tux Paint can provided 'Starter' images.
                                  Opening them is like creating a new
                                  picture, except that the picture isn't
                                  blank. 'Starters' can be like a page from a
                                  coloring book (a black-and-white outline of
                                  a picture, which you can then color in), or
                                  like a 3D photograph, where you draw the
                                  bits in between.

                                  'Starter' images have a green background in
                                  the 'Open' screen. (Normal images have a
                                  blue background.) When you load a
                                  'Starter,' draw on it, and then click
                                  'Save,' it creates a new picture (it
                                  doesn't overwrite the original 'Starter,'
                                  so you can use it again later).

                                If choose to open a picture, and your current
                                drawing hasn't been saved, you will be
                                prompted as to whether you want to save it or
                                not. (See "Save," below.)

                                Note: You can also press [Control]-[O] on the
                                keyboard to get the 'Open' dialog.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        Save

                                This saves your current picture.

                                If you haven't saved it before, it will
                                create a new entry in the list of saved
                                images. (i.e., it will create a new file)

                                Note: It won't ask you anything (e.g., for a
                                filename). It will simply save the picture,
                                and play a "camera shutter" sound effect.

                                If you HAVE saved the picture before, or this
                                is a picture you just loaded using the "Open"
                                command, you will first be asked whether you
                                want to save over the old version, or create
                                a new entry (a new file).

                                (NOTE: If either the "saveover" or
                                "saveovernew" options are set, it won't ask
                                before saving over. See the "Options"
                                documentation.)

                                Note: You can also press [Control]-[S] on the
                                keyboard to save.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        Print

                                Click this button and your picture will be
                                printed!

                                On most platforms, you can also hold the
                                [Alt] key while clicking the 'Print' button
                                to get a printer dialog, as long as you're
                                not running Tux Paint in fullscreen mode. See
                                below.

                                     Disabling Printing

                                        If the "noprint" option was set
                                        (either with "noprint=yes" in
                                        Tux Paint's configuration file, or
                                        using "--noprint" on the
                                        command-line), the "Print" button
                                        will be disabled.

                                        See the "Options" documentation.)

                                     Restricting Printing

                                        If the "printdelay" option was used
                                        (either with "printdelay=SECONDS" in
                                        the configuration file, or using
                                        "--printdelay=SECONDS" on the
                                        command-line), you can only print
                                        once every SECONDS seconds.

                                        For example, with "printdelay=60",
                                        you can print only once a minute.

                                        See the "Options" documentation.)

                                     Printing Commands

                                        (Linux and Unix only)

                                        Tux Paint prints by generating a
                                        PostScript representation of the
                                        drawing and sending it to an external
                                        program. By default, the program is:

                                          lpr

                                        This command can be changed by
                                        setting the "printcommand" value in
                                        Tux Paint's configuration file.

                                        If the [Alt] key on the keyboard is
                                        being pushed while clicking the
                                        'Print' button, as long as you're not
                                        in fullscreen mode, an alternative
                                        program is run. By default, the
                                        program is KDE's graphical print
                                        dialog:

                                          kprinter

                                        This command can be changed by
                                        setting the "altprintcommand" value
                                        in Tux Paint's configuration file.

                                        For information on how to change the
                                        printing commands, see the "Options"
                                        documentation.

                                     Printer Settings

                                        (Windows only)

                                        By default, Tux Paint simply prints
                                        to the default printer with default
                                        settings when the 'Print' button is
                                        pushed.

                                        However, if you hold the [Alt] key on
                                        the keyboard while pushing the
                                        button, as long as you're not in
                                        fullscreen mode, a Windows print
                                        dialog will appear, where you can
                                        change the settings.

                                        You can have the printer
                                        configuration changes stored by using
                                        the "printcfg" option, either by
                                        using "--printcfg" on the
                                        command-line, or "printcfg=yes" in
                                        Tux Paint's own configuration file
                                        ("tuxpaint.cfg").

                                        If the "printcfg" option is used,
                                        printer settings will be loaded from
                                        the file "print.cfg" in your personal
                                        folder (see below). Any changes will
                                        be saved there as well.

                                        See the "Options" documentation.)

                                     Printer Dialog Options

                                        By default, Tux Paint only shows the
                                        printer dialog (or, on Linux/Unix,
                                        runs the "altprintcommand", e.g.,
                                        "kprinter" instead of "lpr") if the
                                        [Alt] key is held while clicking the
                                        'Print' button.

                                        However, this behavior can be
                                        changed. You can have the printer
                                        dialog always appear by using
                                        "--altprintalways" on the
                                        command-line, or "altprint=always" in
                                        Tux Paint's configuration file. Or,
                                        you can prevent the [Alt] key from
                                        having any effect by using
                                        "--altprintnever", or
                                        "altprint=never".

                                        See the "Options" documentation.)

                        Slides

                                The "Slides" button is available in the
                                "Open" dialog. It displays a list of your
                                saved files, similar to the "Open" dialog,
                                but without listing 'Starter' images.

                                Click each of the images you wish to display
                                in a slideshow-style presentation, one by
                                one. A digit will appear over each image,
                                letting you know in which order they will be
                                displayed.

                                You can click a selected image to unselect it
                                (take it out of your slideshow).

                                A sliding scale at the lower left of the
                                screen (next to the "Play" button) can be
                                used to adjust the speed of the slideshow,
                                from slowest to fastest. Choose the leftmost
                                setting to disable automatic advancement --
                                you will need to press a key or click to go
                                to the next slide (see below).

                                When you're ready, click the "Play" button to
                                begin the slideshow. (Note: If you hadn't
                                selected ANY images, then ALL images will be
                                played in the slideshow.)

                                During the slideshow, press [Space], [Enter]
                                or [Return] or the [Right Arrow], or click
                                the "Next" button at the lower left, to
                                manually advance to the next slide. Press
                                [Left] to go back to the previous slide.

                                Press [Escape], or click the "Back" button at
                                the lower right, to exit the slideshow and
                                return to the slideshow image selection
                                screen.

                                Click "Back" in the slideshow image selection
                                screen to return to the "Open" dialog.

                        Quit

                                Clicking the "Quit" button, closing the
                                Tux Paint window, or pushing the [Escape] key
                                will quit Tux Paint.

                                You will first be prompted as to whether you
                                really want to quit.

                                If you choose to quit, and you haven't saved
                                the current picture, you will first be asked
                                if wish to save it. If it's not a new image,
                                you will then be asked if you want to save
                                over the old version, or create a new entry.
                                (See "Save" above.)

                                NOTE: If the image is saved, it will be
                                reloaded automatically the next time you run
                                Tux Paint!

                                NOTE: The "Quit" button and [Escape] key can
                                be disabled (e.g., by selecting
                                "Disable 'Quit' Button" in Tux Paint Config.
                                or running Tux Paint with the "--noquit"
                                command-line option).

                                In that case, the "window close" button on
                                Tux Paint's title bar (if not in fullscreen
                                mode) or the [Alt] + [F4] key sequence may be
                                used to quit.

                                If neither of those are possible, the key
                                sequence of [Shift] + [Control] + [Escape]
                                may be used to quit. (See the "Options"
                                documentation.)

                        Sound Muting

                                There is no on-screen control button at this
                                time, but by pressing [Alt] + [S], sound
                                effects can be disabled and re-enabled (muted
                                and unmuted) while the program is running.

                                Note that if sounds are completely disabled
                                (e.g., by unselecting "Enable Sound Effects"
                                in Tux Paint Config or running Tux Paint with
                                the "--nosound" command-line option), the
                                [Alt] + [S] key sequence has no effect.
                                (i.e., it cannot be used to turn on sounds
                                when the parent/teach wants them disabled.)

                     Loading Other Pictures into Tux Paint

                   Since Tux Paint's 'Open' dialog only displays pictures you
                   created with Tux Paint, what if you want to load some
                   other picture or photograph into Tux Paint to edit?

                   To do so, you simply need to convert the picture into a
                   PNG (Portable Network Graphic) image file, and place it in
                   Tux Paint's "saved" directory:

                        Windows
                                Inside the user's "Application Data" folder,
                                e.g.: "C:\Documents and
                                Settings\(user name)\Application
                                Data\TuxPaint\saved\"

                        Mac OS X
                                Inside the user's "Library" folder:
                                "/Users/(user name)/Library/Application
                                Support/Tux Paint/saved/"

                        Linux/Unix
                                Inside a hidden ".tuxpaint" directory, in the
                                user's home directory:
                                "$(HOME)/.tuxpaint/saved/"

Using 'tuxpaint-import'

                     Linux and Unix users can use the "tuxpaint-import" shell
                     script which gets installed when you install Tux Paint.
                     It uses some NetPBM tools to convert the image
                     ("anytopnm"), resize it so that it will fit in
                     Tux Paint's canvas ("pnmscale"), and convert it to a PNG
                     ("pnmtopng").

                     It also uses the "date" command to get the current time
                     and date, which is the file-naming convention Tux Paint
                     uses for saved files. (Remember, you are never asked for
                     a 'filename' when you go to Save or Open pictures!)

                     To use 'tuxpaint-import', simply run the command from a
                     command-line prompt and provide it the name(s) of the
                     file(s) you wish to convert.

                     They will be converted and placed in your Tux Paint
                     'saved' directory. (Note: If you're doing this for a
                     different user - e.g., your child, you'll need to make
                     sure to run the command under their account.)

                     Example:

                       $ tuxpaint-import grandma.jpg
                       grandma.jpg ->
                       /home/username/.tuxpaint/saved/20020921123456.png
                       jpegtopnm: WRITING A PPM FILE

                     The first line ("tuxpaint-import grandma.jpg") is the
                     command to run. The following two lines are output from
                     the program while it's working.

                     Now you can load Tux Paint, and a version of that
                     original picture will be available under the 'Open'
                     dialog. Just double-click its icon!

Doing it Manually

                     Windows, Mac OS X and BeOS users must currently do the
                     conversion manually.

                     Load a graphics program that is capable of both loading
                     your picture and saving a PNG format file. (See the
                     documentation file "PNG.txt" for a list of suggested
                     software, and other references.)

                     Reduce the size of the image to no wider than 448 pixels
                     across and no taller than 376 pixels tall. (i.e., the
                     maximum size is 448 x 376 pixels)

                     Save the picture in PNG format. It is highly recommended
                     that you name the filename using the current date and
                     time, since that's the convention Tux Paint uses:

                       YYYYMMDDhhmmss.png

                        * YYYY = Year
                        * MM = Month (01-12)
                        * DD = Day (01-31)
                        * HH = Hour, in 24-hour format (00-23)
                        * mm = Minute (00-59)
                        * ss = Second (00-59)

                     e.g.:

                       20020921130500 - for September 21, 2002, 1:05:00pm

                     Place this PNG file in your Tux Paint 'saved' directory.
                     (See above.)
