                               Tux Paint Config.

   A graphical tool is available that allows you to change Tux Paint's
   behavior. However, if you'd rather not install and use this tool, or want
   a better understanding of the available options, please continue reading.

                               Configuration File

   You can create a simple configuration file for Tux Paint, which it will
   read each time you start it up.

   The file is simply a plain text file containing the options you want
   enabled:

Linux and Unix Users

   The file you should create is called ".tuxpaintrc" and it should be placed
   in your home directory. (a.k.a. "~/.tuxpaintrc" or "$HOME/.tuxpaintrc")

  System-Wide Configuration File

   Before this file is read, a system-wide configuration file is read. (By
   default, this configuration has no settings enabled.) It is normally
   located at:

     /etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf

macOS Users

   The file you should create is called "tuxpaint.cfg" and it should be
   placed in your home folder, under the sub-folder: Library/Application
   Support/TuxPaint

  System-Wide Configuration File

   Before this file is read, a system-wide configuration file is read. (By
   default, this configuration has no settings enabled.) It is normally
   located at:

     /Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/tuxpaint.cfg

Windows Users

   The file you should create is called "tuxpaint.cfg" and it should be
   placed in in your personal AppData folder:
   C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\TuxPaint\

   You can use NotePad or WordPad to create this file. Be sure to save it as
   Plain Text, and make sure the filename doesn't have ".txt" at the end...

  System-Wide Configuration File

   Before this file is read, a system-wide configuration file is read. (By
   default, this configuration has no settings enabled.) It is normally
   located at:

     C:\Program Files\Tuxpaint

   ⚙ You can disable reading of this file altogether, leaving the settings as
   defaults (which can then be overridden by your personal config. file
   and/or command-line arguments) by using the command-line option
   "--nosysconfig".

                               Available Options

   The following settings can be set in the configuration file. (Command-line
   settings will override these. See the "Command-Line Options" section,
   below.)

Video/Sound

  Video

   fullscreen=yes

           Run the program in full screen mode, rather than in a window.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "fullscreen=no".
           In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line option
           "--windowed".

   fullscreen=native

           Run the program in full screen mode. Additionally, assume the
           screen's current resolution (set by the operating system).

   windowsize=SIZE

           Run the program at a different size (in windowed mode) or at a
           different screen resolution (in fullscreen mode), rather than the
           default (usually 800x600).

           The SIZE value should be presented in pixels, in 'width-by-height'
           format, with an "x" (lowercase X) between the values. The size can
           be anything that's at least 640 wide, and at least 480 tall.

           Some examples:

              * 640x480
              * 1024x768
              * 768x1024
              * 1600x1200

           💡 If only one display is available, and Tux Paint is being run in
           windowed (not fullscreen) mode, and the chosen window size exceeds
           the capabilities of the display, Tux Paint will fall back to the
           display's dimensions.

   orient=portrait

           Swaps the width/height options given to Tux Paint, useful for
           rotating the window on portait displays, such as a tablet PC
           that's in tablet orientation.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "orient=landscape". In both cases, may be overridden by the
           command-line option "--orient=landscape".

   native=yes

           When running Tux Paint in fullscreen mode, this assumes the
           screen's current resolution (overriding any "windowsize" option),
           as set by the operating system.

   allowscreensaver=yes

           By default, Tux Paint prevents your system's screensaver from
           starting up. You can override this by using the "allowscreensaver"
           option. Note: This requires version 1.2.12 or higher of the SDL
           library. (You can also do this by setting the
           "SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER" environment variable on your system
           to "1".)

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "allowscreensaver=no" or "disablescreensaver=yes". In both cases,
           may be overridden by the command-line option
           "--disablescreensaver".

  Sound

   nosound=yes

           Disable sound effects. (Note: Pressing [Alt] + [S] cannot be used
           to reenable sounds if they were disabled using this option.)

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "nosound=no" or
           "sound=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
           option "--sound".

   nostereo=yes

           Disable stereo panning support. (Useful for users with hearing
           impairment in one ear, or places where a single speaker or
           headphone is being used.)

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "nostereo=no" or
           "stereo=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
           option "--stereo".

  Interface Size

   buttonsize=SIZE

           Set the pixel size of buttons in Tux Paint's user interface
           (overriding the default of "48"). Useful when using very
           high-density displays or coarse input devices, such as eye gaze
           trackers.

           The SIZE value should be presented in pixels, and can be anything
           between 24 and 192, inclusive. Most buttons are square, and this
           will affect their width and height.

           A value of "auto" may be provided, and Tux Paint will choose a
           suitable button size based on the size of Tux Paint's window (or
           fullscreen display). (For the default screen size of 800x600, it
           will be the default button size: "48".)

           💡 Note: If the chosen button size would cause the buttons to be
           too large for all required UI elements to appear under Tux Paint's
           chosen window size, the largest possible button size will be used.
           (A note will appear in stderr.)

   colorsrows=ROWS

           How many rows of color palette buttons to show; useful when using
           a large color palette (see "colorfile", above), and/or for use
           with coarse input devices (like eyegaze trackers). "ROWS" may be
           between "1" (the default) and "3".

Mouse/Keyboard

  Cursor

   nofancycursors=yes

           This disables the fancy mouse pointer shapes in Tux Paint, and
           uses your environment's normal mouse pointer.

           In some enviornments, the fancy cursors cause problems. Use this
           option to avoid them.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "nofancycursors=no" or "fancycursors=yes". In both cases, may be
           overridden by the command-line option "--fancycursors".

   hidecursor=yes

           This completely hides the mouse pointer shapes in Tux Paint.

           This is useful for touchscreen devices, such as tablet PCs.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "hidecursor=no"
           or "showcursor=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
           command-line option "--showcursor".

  Keyboard

   noshortcuts=yes

           This disable keyboard shortcuts (e.g., [Ctrl]-[S] for save,
           [Ctrl]-[N] for a new image, etc.)

           This is useful to prevent unwanted commands from being activated
           by children who aren't experienced with keyboards.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "noshortcuts=no"
           or "shortcuts=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
           command-line option "--shortcuts".

  Mouse

   grab=yes

           Tux Paint will attempt to 'grab' the mouse and keyboard, so that
           the mouse is confined to Tux Paint's window, and nearly all
           keyboard input is passed directly to it.

           This is useful to disable operating system actions that could get
           the user out of Tux Paint [Alt]-[Tab] window cycling,
           [Ctrl]-[Escape], etc. This is especially useful in fullscreen
           mode.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "grab=no" or
           "dontgrab=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
           command-line option "--dontgrab".

   nowheelmouse=yes

           This disables support for the wheel on mice that have it.
           (Normally, the wheel will scroll the selector menu on the right.)

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "nowheelmouse=no" or "wheelmouse=yes". In both cases, may be
           overridden by the command-line option "--wheelmouse".

   nobuttondistinction=yes

           Prior to Tux Paint 0.9.15, the middle and right buttons on a mouse
           could also be used for clicking. In version 0.9.15, it was changed
           so that only the left mouse button worked, so as to not train
           children to use the wrong button.

           However, for children who have trouble with the mouse, this
           distinction between the two or three buttons on a mouse can be
           disabled (returning Tux Paint to its old behavior) by using this
           option.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "nobuttondistinction=no" or "buttondistinction=yes". In both
           cases, may be overridden by the command-line option
           "--buttondistinction".

Simplification

  Interface Simplification

   simpleshapes=yes

           Disable the rotation step of the 'Shape' tool. Click, drag and
           release is all that will be needed to draw a shape.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "simpleshapes=no" or "complexshapes=yes". In both cases, may be
           overridden by the command-line option "--complexshapes".

   nooutlines=yes

           In this mode, much simpler outlines and 'rubber-band' lines are
           displayed when using the Lines, Shapes, Stamps and Eraser tools.

           This can help when Tux Paint is run on very slow computers, or
           displayed on a remote X-Window display.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "nooutlines=no"
           or "outlines=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
           command-line option "--outlines".

   uppercase=yes

           All text will be rendered only in uppercase (e.g., "Brush" will be
           "BRUSH"). Useful for children who can read, but who have only
           learned uppercase letters so far.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "uppercase=no"
           or "mixedcase=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
           command-line option "--mixedcase".

  Initial Stamp Size

   stampsize=SIZE

           Use this option to force Tux Paint to set the starting size of all
           stamps. The SIZE value should be between 0 (smallest) and 10
           (largest). The size is relative to the available sizes of the
           stamp, which depends on the stamp itself, and Tux Paint's current
           canvas size.

           Specify "default" to let Tux Paint decide (its standard behavior).

  Control Simplification

   noquit=yes

           Disable the on-screen "Quit" button and prevent the [Escape] key
           from quitting Tux Paint.

           Using the [Alt] + [F4] keyboard combination or clicking the
           window's close button (assuming you're not in fullscreen mode)
           still works to quit Tux Paint.

           You can also use the following keyboard combination to quit:
           [Shift] + [Control] + [Escape].

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "noquit=no" or
           "quit=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
           option "--quit".

   nostamps=yes

           This option tells Tux Paint to not load any rubber stamp images,
           which in turn ends up disabling the Stamps tool.

           This can speed up Tux Paint when it first loads up, and reduce
           memory usage while it's running. Of course, no stamps will be
           available at all.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "nostamps=no" or
           "stamps=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
           option "--stamps".

   nostampcontrols=yes

           Some images in the Stamps tool can be mirrored, flipped, and/or
           have their size changed. This option disables the controls, and
           only provides the basic stamps.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "nostampcontrols=no" or "stampcontrols=yes". In both cases, may be
           overridden by the command-line option "--stampcontrols".

   nostamprotation=yes

           This disables the rotation step of the Stamps tool, immediately
           placing the stamp in its regular orientation (with any flipping or
           mirroring applied) on the first click.

           📜 Note: The stamp rotation feature was added to Tux Paint in
           version 0.9.29.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "nostamprotation=no" or "stamprotation=yes". In both cases, may be
           overridden by the command-line option "--stamprotation".

   nomagiccontrols=yes

           Some Magic tools have the option of acting like a paintbrush, or
           affecting the entire canvas at once. This option disables the
           controls, and only provides the default functionality (usually
           paint-mode).

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "nomagiccontrols=no" or "magiccontrols=yes". In both cases, may be
           overridden by the command-line option "--magiccontrols".

   nomagicsizes=yes

           Some Magic tools offer various size settings. This option disables
           the sizing control, and only provides the tools' default sizes.
           (Some plugins may offer additional variations of a Magic tool, to
           make a few sizes possible, e.g. "Bricks" and "Googly Eyes".)

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "nomagicsizes=no" or "magicsizes=yes". In both cases, may be
           overridden by the command-line option "--magicsizes".

   noshapecontrols=yes

           Disable the control buttons shown when using the Shapes tool that
           allow changing how shapes are drawn — centered around the initial
           mouse click, or with a corner at the initial mouse click.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "noshapecontrols=no" or "shapecontrols=yes". In both cases, may be
           overridden by the command-line option "--shapecontrols".

   nolabel=yes

           Disables the Label tool: the tool that allows text entry which can
           be edited later.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "nolabel=no" or
           "label=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
           option "--label".

   nobrushspacing=yes

           Disables the brush spacing option of the Paint and Lines tools.
           The brushes' default spacings will be used.

           📜 Note: The brush spacing option was added to Tux Paint's user
           interface in version 0.9.28. For more information on brush
           spacing, see EXTENDING.html

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "nobrushspacing=no" or "brushspacing=yes". In both cases, may be
           overridden by the command-line option "--brushspacing".

   --locale LOCALE

           Run Tux Paint in one of the support languages. See the "Choosing a
           Different Language" section below for the locale strings (e.g.,
           "de_DE" for German) to use.

           (If your locale is already set, e.g. with the "$LANG" environment
           variable, this option is not necessary, since Tux Paint honors
           your environment's setting, if possible.)

   mirrorstamps=yes

           For stamps that can be mirrored, this option sets them to their
           mirrored shape by default.

           This can be useful for people who prefer things right-to-left,
           rather than left-to-right.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "mirrorstamps=no" or "dontmirrorstamps=yes". In both cases, may be
           overridden by the command-line option "--dontmirrorstamps".

  Fonts

   sysfonts=yes

           This option causes Tux Paint to attempt to load fonts (for use in
           the Text tool) from your operating system. Normally, Tux Paint
           will only load the ones that came bundled with Tux Paint.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "sysfonts=no" or
           "nosysfonts=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
           command-line option "--nosysfonts".

   alllocalefonts=yes

           Prior to version 0.9.21, Tux Paint loaded all fonts in its own
           fonts directory, including locale-specific ones (e.g., the one for
           Tibetan, which had no latin characters). As of 0.9.21, the only
           font loaded from the locale-specific subdirectory, if any, is one
           matching the locale Tux Paint is running on.

           To load all locale-specific fonts (the old behavior), set this
           option.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using
           "alllocalefonts=no" or "currentlocalefont=yes". In both cases, may
           be overridden by the command-line option "--currentlocalefont".

Printing

  Print Permissions

   noprint=yes

           Disable the printing feature.

   printdelay=SECONDS

           Restrict printing so that printing can occur only once every
           SECONDS seconds.

           ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
           overridden by the user's configuration file using "printdelay=0".
           In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line option
           "--printdelay=0".

  Show Printer Dialog

   altprint=always

           This causes Tux Paint to always show the printer dialog (or, on
           Linux/Unix, run the "altprintcommand") when the 'Print' button is
           clicked. In other words, it's like clicking 'Print' while holding
           [Alt], except you don't need to hold [Alt] every time.

   altprint=never

           This prevents Tux Paint from ever showing the printer dialog (or,
           on Linux/Unix, run the "altprintcommand") when the 'Print' button
           is clicked. In other words, it makes the [Alt] key have no effect
           when clicking the 'Print' button.

   altprint=mod

           This is the normal, default behavior. Tux Paint shows a printer
           dialog (or, on Linux/Unix, runs the "altprintcommand"), when the
           [Alt] key is pressed while the 'Print' button is clicked. Clicking
           'Print' without holding [Alt] prints without showing a dialog.

  Save Printer Configuration

     printcfg=yes

             (Windows and macOS only)

             Tux Paint will use a printer configuration file when printing.
             Push the [Alt] key while clicking the 'Print' button in Tux
             Paint to cause a Windows print dialog window to appear.

             Any configuration changes made in this dialog will be saved to
             the file "userdata/print.cfg" , and used again, as long as the
             "printcfg" option is set.

             💡 Note: This only works when not running Tux Paint in fullscreen
             mode.

             ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
             overridden by the user's configuration file using "printcfg=no"
             or "noprintcfg=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
             command-line option "--noprintcfg".

  Print Commands

     printcommand=COMMAND

             (Linux and Unix only)

             Use the command COMMAND to print a PostScript format file when
             the 'Print' button is clicked. If this option is not
             specifically not set, the default command is:

               lpr

             📜 Note: Versions of Tux Paint prior to 0.9.15 sent PNG format
             data to the print command (which defaulted to "pngtopnm |
             pnmtops | lpr").

             If you set an alternative printcommand in the configuration file
             prior to version 0.9.15, you will need to change it.

     altprintcommand=COMMAND

             (Linux and Unix only)

             Use the command COMMAND to print a PostScript format file when
             the 'Print' button is clicked while the [Alt] modifier key is
             being held. (This is typically used for providing a print
             dialog, similar to when pressing [Alt]+'Print' in Windows and
             macOS.)

             If this option is not specifically not set, the default command
             is KDE's graphical print dialog:

               kprinter

  Paper Size

     papersize=PAPERSIZE

             (Platforms that use Tux Paint's internal PostScript generator —
             not Windows, macOS, BeOS, or Haiku.)

             Tell Tux Paint what size PostScript to generate. If none is
             specified, Tux Paint first checks your $PAPER environment
             variable, then the file /etc/papersize, then uses the the
             'libpaper' library's default paper size.

             Valid paper sizes include: letter, legal, tabloid, executive,
             note, statement, a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10,
             b0, b1, b2 b3, b4, 10x14, 11x17, halfletter, halfexecutive,
             halfnote, folio, quarto, ledger, archA, archB, archC, archD,
             archE, flsa, flse, csheet, dsheet, esheet.

Saving

  Save Over Earlier Work

     saveover=yes

             This disables the "Save over the old version...?" prompt when
             saving an existing file. With this option, the older version
             will always be replaced by the new version, automatically.

     saveover=new

             This also disables the "Save over the old version...?" prompt
             when saving an existing file. This option, however, will always
             save a new file, rather than overwrite the older version.

     saveover=ask

             (This option is redundant, since this is the default.) When
             saving an existing drawing, you will be first asked whether to
             save over the older version or not.

  Starting Out

     startblank=yes

             This causes Tux Paint to display a blank canvas when it first
             starts up, rather than loading the last image that was being
             edited.

             ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
             overridden by the user's configuration file using
             "startblank=no" or "startlast=yes". In both cases, may be
             overridden by the command-line option "--startlast".

     newcolorslast=yes

             Places the blank color options in the New dialog at the end, so
             that any Starters and/or Templates are shown first.

             ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
             overridden by the user's configuration file using
             "newcolorslast=no" or "newcolorsfirst=yes". In both cases, may
             be overridden by the command-line option "--newcolorsfirst".

  Save and Export Directories

     savedir=DIRECTORY

             Use this option to change where Tux Paint's "saved"
             directory/folder is located, which is where Tux Paint saves and
             opens pictures.

             If you do not override it, the default location is:

                * Linux & Unix — Under a hidden directory named ".tuxpaint"
                  in your home directory (aka "~" or "$HOME")
                  Example: /home/username/.tuxpaint/saved/
                * Windows — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
                  "Application Data" folder.
                  Example: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application
                  Data\TuxPaint\saved\
                * macOS — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
                  "Application Support" folder.
                  Example: /Users/Username/Library/Application
                  Support/TuxPaint/saved/

             💡 Note: When specifying a Windows drive (e.g., "H:\"), you must
             also specify a subdirectory.

             📜 Note: Prior to version 0.9.18, Tux Paint would also use the
             setting or default for "savedir" as the place to search for
             personal data files (brushes, stamps, starters and fonts). As of
             version 0.9.18, they may be specified separately (see the
             "datadir" option, below).

             Example: savedir=Z:\tuxpaint\

     exportdir=DIRECTORY

             Use this option to change where Tux Paint exports files — single
             images, or animated GIF slideshows — for external use.

             If you do not override it, the default location is:

                * Linux & Unix — If available, wherever your desktop
                  environment is configured for pictures to be stored, based
                  on your XDG (X Desktop Group) configuration. (Try running
                  the command-line "xdg-user-dir PICTURES" to find out.)
                  Typically (in an English locale), this will be a "Pictures"
                  subdirectory in your home directory (i.e., "$HOME/Pictures"
                  aka "~/Pictures").
                  Tux Paint will fall back to using that typical directory,
                  of no XDG configuration can be read, or nothing is set for
                  "XDG_PICTURES_DIR".
                * Windows - "My Pictures" directory for each user (normaly
                  "c:\Users\USERNAME\Pictures").
                  You can directly open the folder as follows:
                     * Press "[Windows]+[R]" key to open "Run ..." dialogue.
                     * Enter "Shell:My Pictures" in the text box and push
                       [OK].
                * macOS — TBD!

             💡 Note: When the defaults are used, a new "TuxPaint"
             subdirectory will be created and used. (e.g.,
             "~/Pictures/TuxPaint") When the "--exportdir" option is used,
             the exact path specified will be used (no "TuxPaint"
             subdirectory is created).

             The directory itself (e.g., "~/Pictures/TuxPaint") will be
             created, if it doesn't exist.

             If the parent directory (e.g., "~/Pictures/TuxPaint") also does
             not exist, Tux Paint will attempt to create it as well (but not
             any directories higher than that).

             Example: exportdir=/home/penguin/TuxPaintExports

  More Saving Options

     nosave=yes

             This disables Tux Paint's ability to save files (and therefore
             disables the on-screen "Save" button). It can be used in
             situations where the program is only being used for fun, or in a
             test environment.

             ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
             overridden by the user's configuration file using "nosave=no" or
             "save=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the command-line
             option "--save".

     autosave=yes

             This prevents Tux Paint from asking whether you want to save the
             current picture when quitting, and assumes you do.

             ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
             overridden by the user's configuration file using "autosave=no"
             or "noautosave=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
             command-line option "--noautosave".

     reversesort=yes

             This reverses the sorting of the Open and Slideshow dialogs,
             placing the newest images at the top of the list.

             ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
             overridden by the user's configuration file using
             "reversesort=no" or "noreversesort=yes". In both cases, may be
             overridden by the command-line option "--noreversesort".

Data

  Lockfile

     nolockfile=yes

             By default, Tux Paint uses what's known as a 'lockfile' to
             prevent it from being launched more than once in 30 seconds.
             (This is to avoid accidentally running multiple copies; for
             example, by double-clicking a single-click launcher, or simply
             impatiently clicking the icon multiple times.)

             To make Tux Paint ignore the lockfile, allowing it to run again,
             even if it was just launched less than 30 seconds ago, enable
             this setting in the configuration file, or run Tux Paint with
             the --nolockfile option on the command-line.

             By default, the lockfile is stored in "~/.tuxpaint/" under Linux
             and Unix, and "userdata\" under Windows.

             ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
             overridden by the user's configuration file using
             "nolockfile=no" or "lockfile=yes". In both cases, may be
             overridden by the command-line option "--lockfile".

  Data Directory

     datadir=DIRECTORY

             Use this option to change where Tux Paint looks for personal
             data files (brushes, stamps, starters, templates, and fonts
             specific to the current user).

             Tux Paint will search for subdirectories/subfolders named
             "brushes", "stamps", "starters", "templates", and "fonts" under
             the specified data directory.

             If you do not override it, the default location is:

                * Linux & Unix — Under a hidden directory named ".tuxpaint"
                  in your home directory (aka "~" or "$HOME")
                  Example: /home/username/.tuxpaint/brushes/
                * Windows — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
                  "Application Data" folder.
                  Example: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application
                  Data\TuxPaint\brushes\
                * macOS — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
                  "Application Support" folder.
                  Example: /Users/Username/Library/Application
                  Support/TuxPaint/brushes/

             📜 Note: Prior to version 0.9.18, Tux Paint would use the same
             setting or default as for "savedir" to search for data files. As
             of version 0.9.18, they may be specified separately.

             💡 Note: When specifying a Windows drive (e.g., "H:\"), you must
             also specify a subdirectory.

             Example: datadir=/home/johnny/tuxpaint-data/

  Color Palette File

     colorfile=FILENAME

             You may override Tux Paint's default color palette by creating a
             plain ASCII text file that describes the colors you want, and
             pointing to that file using the "colorfile" option.

             The file should list one color per line. Colors are defined in
             terms of their Red, Green and Blue values, each from 0 (off) to
             255 (brightest). (For more information, try Wikipedia's "RGB
             color model" article.)

             Colors may be listed using three decimal numbers (e.g., "255 68
             136") or a 6- or 3-digit-long hexadecimal 'triplet' (e.g.,
             "#ff4488" or "#F48").

             After the color definition (on the same line) you may enter text
             to describe the color. Tux will display this text when the color
             is clicked. (For example, "#FFF White as snow.")

             As an example, you can see the default colors currently used in
             Tux Paint in: "default_colors.txt".

             NOTES: You must separate decimal values with spaces, and begin
             hexadecimal values with a pound/number-sign character ("#"). In
             3-digit hexadecimal, each digit is used for both the high and
             low halves of the byte, so "#FFF" is the same as "#FFFFFF", not
             "#F0F0F0".

Accessibility

  Mouse

     mouse-accessibility=yes

             In this mode, instead of clicking, dragging and releasing (e.g.,
             to draw), you click, move, and click again to end the motion.

  Keyboard

     keyboard=yes

             This allows the keyboard arrow keys to be used to control the
             mouse pointer. (e.g., for mouseless environments, or
             handicapped/accessibility purposes)

             Features:

                * Fine movement within canvas, or coarse movement if Shift is
                  held.
                * Coarse movement within tool button areas.
                * Key controls:
                     * [Left]/[Right]/[Up]/[Down], numpad [1] thru [9]: Move
                       mouse
                     * [Space]/[5]: Click mouse (except when using "Text" or
                       "Label" tools)
                     * [Insert]/[F5]: Click mouse (always)
                     * [F4] jump mouse between "Tools", "Colors" and canvas
                       areas
                     * If mouse is within "Tools" section on the left, or
                       "Colors" section at the bottom:
                          * [F7], [F8]: Move down/up between buttons,
                            respectively (Tools section, only)
                          * [F11], [F12]: Move to previous/next button,
                            respectively
                * To click-and-drag, hold one of the 'click' keys (e.g.,
                  [Insert]), and use the movement keys (e.g., [Left]).

                  💡 >Note: The "mouse accessibility" feature works with the
                  keyboard mouse controls. With both options enabled,
                  painting tools can be used to draw by pressing a 'click'
                  key to start clicking, movement keys to move around (which
                  will draw), and another 'click' key to end the click (stop
                  drawing).

                * A regular mouse and/or joystick may still be used (so you
                  can, e.g., move with the mouse, and click with the
                  keyboard, or vice-versa)

             ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
             overridden by the user's configuration file using "keyboard=no"
             or "mouse=yes". In both cases, may be overridden by the
             command-line option "--mouse".

  Onscreen Keyboard

     onscreen-keyboard=yes

             Presents a clickable on-screen keyboard when using the Text and
             Label tools.

     onscreen-keyboard-layout=LAYOUTNAME

             Selects the initial layout for the on-screen keyboard when using
             the Text and Label tools.
             Note: Using this option implies automatically
             onscreen-keyboard=yes, so setting both is redundant.

     onscreen-keyboard-disable-change=yes

             Disables the possibility for changing the layout of the
             on-screen keyboard when using the Text and Label tools, useful
             for simplifying things for the small children.
             Note: Using this option implies automatically
             onscreen-keyboard=yes, so setting both is redundant.

             ⚙ Note: If used in a system-wide configuration file, may be
             overridden by the user's configuration file using
             "onscreen-keyboard-disable-change=no". In both cases, may be
             overridden by the command-line option
             "--onscreen-keyboard-disable-change=no".

Joystick

  Main Device

     joystick-dev=N

             Specify which joystick device should be used by Tux Paint.
             Default value is 0 (the first joystick).

     joystick-slowness=SPEED

             Sets a delay at each axis motion, allowing to slow the joystick.
             Allowed values are from 0 to 500. Default value is 15.

     joystick-threshold=THRESHOLD

             Sets the minimum level of axis motion to start moving the
             pointer. Allowed values are from 0 to 32766. Default value is
             3200.

     joystick-maxsteps=STEPS

             Sets the maximum pixels the pointer will move at once. Allowed
             values are from 1 to 7. Default value is 7.

  Hat

     joystick-hat-slowness=SPEED

             Sets a delay at each automatic motion, allowing to slow the
             speed of the hat. Allowed values are from 0 to 500. Default
             value is 15.

     joystick-hat-timeout=MILLISECONDS

             Sets the delay after wich the pointer will start moving
             automatically if the hat is keeped pushed. Allowed values are
             from 0 to 3000. Default value is 1000.

  Buttons to Disable

     joystick-buttons-ignore=BUTTON1,BUTTON2,...

             A set of joystick button numbers, as seen by SDL, that should be
             ignored. Otherwise, unless they are used by one of the
             "joystick-btn-" options above, buttons will be seen as a mouse
             left-click.

                       Overriding System Config. Options

     (For Linux and Unix users)

     If any of the above options are set in "/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.config",
     you can override them in your own "~/.tuxpaintrc" file.

     For true/false options, like "noprint" and "grab", you can simply say
     they equal 'no' in your "~/.tuxpaintrc" file:

       noprint=no
       uppercase=no

     Or, you can use options similar to the command-line override options
     described below. For example:

       print=yes
       mixedcase=yes

                              Command-Line Options

     Options may also be issued on the command-line when you go to launch Tux
     Paint.

             These options can be used to override any settings made in the
             configuration file. (If the option isn't set in the
             configuration file(s), no overriding option is necessary.)

     --nosysconfig

             Under Linux and Unix, this prevents the system-wide
             configuration file, "/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf", from being
             read.

             Only your own configuration file, "~/.tuxpaintrc", if it exists,
             will be used.

Command-Line Informational Options

     The following options display some informative text on the screen. Tux
     Paint doesn't actually start up and run afterwards, however.

     --version
     --verbose-version

             Display the version number and date of the copy of Tux Paint you
             are running. The "--verbose-version" also lists what
             compile-time options were set. (See INSTALL and FAQ).

     --copying

             Show brief license information about copying Tux Paint.

     --usage

             Display the list of available command-line options.

     --help

             Display brief help on using Tux Paint.

     --lang help

             Display a list of available languages in Tux Paint.

     --joystick-dev list

             Display list of attached joysticks available to Tux Paint.

                         Choosing a Different Language

     Tux Paint has been translated into a number of languages. To access the
     translations, you can use the "--lang" option on the command-line to set
     the language (e.g. "--lang spanish") or use the "lang=" setting in the
     configuration file (e.g., "lang=spanish").

     Tux Paint also honors your environment's current locale. (You can
     override it on the command-line using the "--locale" option; see above.)

     Use the option "--lang help" to list the language options available.

     (*) - These languages require their own fonts, since they are not
     represented using a Latin character set, like the others. See the
     "Special Fonts" section, below.

     💡 Note: Tux Paint provides an alternative input method for entering
     characters with the Text tool in some locales. The key comibation(s)
     listed can be used to cycle through the supported input methods while
     the Text tool is active.

Setting Your Environment's Locale

     Changing your locale will affect much of your environment.

     As stated above, along with letting you choose the language at runtime
     using command-line options ("--lang" and "--locale"), Tux Paint honors
     the global locale setting in your environment.

     If you haven't already set your environment's locale, the following will
     briefly explain how:

  Linux/Unix Users

     First, be sure the locale you want to use is enabled by editing the file
     "/etc/locale.gen" on your system and then running the program
     "locale-gen" as root.

     💡 Note: Debian users may be able to simply run the command
     "dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root to bring up a configuration dialog.
     Ubuntu users may be able to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf" (the
     "localeconf" package may need to be installed first), or you may need to
     edit the file "/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local" first, and add
     locales they want, from the list found in "/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED".

     Then, before running Tux Paint, set your "$LANG" environment variable to
     one of the locales listed above. (If you want all programs that can be
     translated to be, you may wish to place the following in your login
     script; e.g. "~/.profile", "~/.bashrc", "~/.cshrc", etc.)

     For example, in a Bourne Shell (like BASH):

       export LANG=es_ES ; \
       tuxpaint

     And in a C Shell (like TCSH):

       setenv LANG es_ES ; \
       tuxpaint

  Windows Users

     Tux Paint will recognize the current locale and use the appropriate
     files by default. So this section is only for people trying different
     languages.

     The simplest thing to do is to use the "--lang" switch in the shortcut
     (see "INSTALL"). However, by using an MSDOS Prompt window, it is also
     possible to issue a command like this:

       set LANG=es_ES

     ...which will set the language for the lifetime of that DOS window.

     For something more permanent, you can set an 'environment variable'
     using the "System properties" dialogue as follows:

       * Press the "[Windows]+[R]" key combination to open the "Run ..."
         dialogue.
       * Enter "sysdm.cpl" in the text box and click the "[OK]" button to
         open the "System properties" dialogue.
       * Select the "Advanced" tab.
       * Click the "Environment Variables..." button.
       * Edit the value of the parameter "LANG" (create it, if it doesn't
         exists).

Special Fonts

     Some languages require special fonts be installed. These font files
     (which are in TrueType format (TTF)), are much too large to include with
     the Tux Paint download, and are available separately. (See the table
     above, under the "Choosing a Different Language" section.)

     📜 Note: As of version 0.9.18, Tux Paint uses the "SDL_Pango" library,
     which utilizes the "Pango" library to render text in the user interface,
     rather than using "SDL_ttf" directly. Unless your copy of Tux Paint was
     built without Pango support, special fonts should no longer be
     necessary.

     When running Tux Paint in a language that requires its own font, Tux
     Paint will try to load the font file from its system-wide "fonts"
     directory (under a "locale" subdirectory). The name of the file
     corresponds to the first two letters in the 'locale' code of the
     language (e.g., "ko" for Korean, "ja" for Japanese, "zh_tw" for
     Traditional Chinese).

     For example, under Linux or Unix, when Tux Paint is run in Korean (e.g.,
     with the option "--lang korean"), Tux Paint will attempt to load the
     following font file:

       /usr/share/tuxpaint/fonts/locale/ko.ttf

     You can download fonts for supported languages from Tux Paint's website,
     https://tuxpaint.org/. (Look in the 'Fonts' section under 'Download.')

     Under Unix and Linux, you can use the Makefile that comes with the font
     to install the font in the appropriate location.
