What Is "Tux Paint"?

effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who helps guide children as

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'), or by double-clicking the 'Tux Paint' icon on your
desktop, if you had the installer place one there.

"simple shapes" ("simpleshapes") option.
"Text" and "Label" Tools
Choose a font (from the 'Letters' available on the right) and a
color (from the color palette near the bottom). You may also apply
a bold, and/or an italic styling effect to the text. Click on the
screen and a cursor will appear. Type text and it will show up on
the screen. (You can change the font, color, and styling while
entering the text, before it is applied to the canvas.)
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.)
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).
"Text" versus "Label"
The Text tool is the original text-entry tool in Tux
Paint. Text entered using this tool can't be modified
or moved later, since it becomes part of the drawing.
However, because the text becomes part of the
picture, it can be drawn over or modified using Magic
tool effects (e.g., smudged, tinted, embossed, etc.)
When using the Label tool (which was added to Tux
Paint in version 0.9.22), the text 'floats' over the
image, and the details of the label (the text, the
position of the label, the font choice and the color)
get stored separately. This allows the label to be
repositioned or edited later.
To edit a label, click the label selection button.
All labels in the drawing will appear highlighted.
Click one — or use the [Tab] key to cycle through all
the labels, and the [Enter] or [Return] key to select
one — and you may then edit the label. (Use they
[Backspace] key to erase characters, and other keys
to add text to the label; click in the canvas to
reposition the label; click in the palette to change
the color of the text in the label; etc.)
You may "apply" a label to the canvas, painting the
text into the picture as if it had been added using
the Text tool, by clicking the label application
button. (This feature was added in Tux Paint version
0.9.28.) All labels in the drawing will appear
highlighted, and you select one just as you do when
selecting a label to edit. The chosen label will be
removed, and the text will be added directly to the
canvas.
⚙ The Label tool can be disabled (e.g., by selecting
"Disable 'Label' Tool" in Tux Paint Config. or
running Tux Paint with the "nolabel" option).
International Character Input
Tux Paint allows inputting characters in different
languages. Most Latin characters (A-Z, ñ, è, 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.
* Japanese — Romanized Hiragana and Romanized
Katakana — right [Alt] key
* Korean — Hangul 2-Bul — right [Alt] key or left
[Alt] key
* Traditional Chinese — right [Alt] key or left
[Alt] key
* Thai — right [Alt] key
💡 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.
On-screen Keyboard
An optional on-screen keyboard is available for the
Text and Label tools, which can provide a variety of
layouts and character composition (e.g., composing
"a" and "e" into "æ").
