Animated Brushes
|

|
||||
As of Tux Paint version 0.9.16, you may now create animated brushes.
|
||||
As the brush is drawn, each frame of the animation is displayed.

As the brush is used, each frame of the animation is drawn.

Lay each frame out across a wide PNG image. For example, if your

Add a line containing the line "frames=N" to the brush's data file,

where N is the number of frames in the brush.

Place the brush image PNGs (and any data text files) in the "brushes"
|

directory.

Directional Brushes
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If your new brushes all come out as solid squares or rectangles,
|
||||
it's because you forgot to use alpha transparency! See the documentation
|
||||
file "PNG.txt" for more information and tips.
|
||||
As of Tux Paint version 0.9.16, you may now create directional
|
||||
brushes. As the brush is used, different shapes are drawn, depending
|
||||
on the direction the brush is going.
|
||||
|
||||
The directional shapes are divided into a 3x3 square in a PNG image.
|
||||
For example, if your brush is 30x30, the image should be 90x90, and
|
||||
each of the direction's shapes placed in a 3x3 grid. The center
|
||||
region is used for no motion. The top right is used for motion
|
||||
that's both up, and to the right. And so on.
|
||||
|
||||
Add a line containing the line "directional" to the brush's data
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
Animated Directional Brushes
|
||||
|
||||
You may mix both animated and directional features into one brush.
|
||||
Use both options ("frames=N" and "directional"), in separate lines
|
||||
in the brush's "".dat" file.
|
||||
|
||||
Lay the brush out so that each 3x3 set of directional shapes are
|
||||
laid out across a wide PNG image. For example, if the brush is 30x30
|
||||
and there are 5 frames, it would be 450x90. (The leftmost 150x90
|
||||
pixels of the image represent the 9 direction shapes for the first
|
||||
frame, for example.)
|
||||
|
||||
Place the brush image PNGs (and any data text files) in the "brushes"
|
||||
directory.

Stamps
|
||||
|
||||
All stamp-related files go in the "stamps" directory. It's useful to
|
||||
create subdirectories and sub-subdirectories there to organize the
|
||||
stamps. (For example, you can have a "holidays" folder with "halloween"
|
||||
and "christmas" sub-folders.)

The Stamps used by Tux Paint are PNG pictures. They can be full-color

or greyscale. The alpha (transparency) of the PNG is used to determine

the actual shape of the picture (otherwise you'll stamp a large

rectangle on your drawings).

currently-selected color.)

Initial Stamp Size
|

|
||||
By default, Tux Paint assumes that your stamp is sized appropriately
|
||||
for unscaled display on a 608x472 canvas. This is the original
|
||||
Tux Paint canvas size, provided by a 640x480 screen. Tux Paint will
|
||||
then adjust the stamp according to the current canvas size and, if
|
||||
enabled, the user's stamp size controls.

|

|

If your stamp would be too big or too small, you can specify a scale
|

factor. If your stamp would be 2.5 times as wide (or tall) as it
|
||||
should be, add the option "scale 40%" or "scale 5/2" or "scale 2.5"
|
||||
or "scale 2:5" to your image. You may include an "=" if you wish, as

Pre-Mirrored Images
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases, you may wish to provide a pre-drawn version of a
|
||||
stamp's mirror-image. For example, imagine a picture of a fire truck
|
||||
with the words "Fire Department" written across the side. You probably
|
||||
do not want that text to appear backwards when the image is flipped!

To create a mirrored version of a stamp that you want Tux Paint to

"_mirror" before the filename extension.

blank, though, the new drawing contains the contents of the 'starter.'

The most basic kind of 'starter' is similar to a picture in a coloring
|
||||
book. It's an outline of a shape which you can then color in and add
|
||||
details to. In Tux Paint, as you draw, type text, or stamp stamps, the
|
||||
outline remains 'above' what you draw. You can erase the parts of the
|
||||
drawing you made, but you can't erase the outline.

Along with the 'coloring-book' style overlay, you can also provide a
|

separate background image as part of a 'starter' picture. The overlay
|

acts the same: it can't be drawn over, erased, or affected by 'Magic'
|
||||
tools. However, the background can be!

When the 'Eraser' tool is used on a picture based on this kind of

'starter' image, rather than turning the canvas white, it returns that

part of the canvas to the original background picture.

|

|
||||
By creating both an overlay and a background, you can create a
|
||||
'starter' which simulates depth. Imagine a background that shows the
|
||||
ocean, and an overlay that's a picture of a reef. You can then draw
|
||||
(or stamp) fish in the picture. They'll appear in the ocean, but never
|
||||
'in front of' the reef.

To create this kind of 'starter' picture, simply create an overlay
|
||||
(with alpha transparency) as described above, and save it as a PNG.
|
||||
Then create another image (without transparency), and save it with the
|
||||
same filename, but with "-back" appended to the name. (e.g.,
|
||||
"reef-back.png" would be the background ocean picture that corresponds
|
||||
to the "reef.png" overlay, or foreground.)

The 'starter' images should be the same size as Tux Paint's canvas. In
|
||||
the default 640x480 mode, that is 448x376 pixels. If you're using
|
||||
800x600 mode, it should be 608x496. (It should be 192 pixels less wide,
|
||||
and 104 pixels less tall than the resolution.)

Place them in the "starters" directory. When the 'Open' dialog is

accessed in Tux Paint, the 'starter' images will appear at the beginning

of the list with a green background.

|

|

Note: 'Starters' can't be saved over from within Tux Paint, since
|
||||
loading a 'starter' is really like creating a new image. (Instead of
|
||||
being blank, though there's already something there to work with.) The
|
||||
'Save' command simply creates a new picture, like it would if the 'New'
|

command had been used.

Note: 'Starters' are 'attached' to saved pictures, via a small text file
|

that has the same name as the saved file, but with ".dat" as the
|
||||
extension. This allows the overlay and background, if any, to continue
|
||||
to affect the drawing even after Tux Paint has been quit, or another
|
||||
picture loaded or started. (In other words, if you base a drawing on a
|
||||
'starter' image, it will always be affected by it.)
