💡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 it to continue to affect the drawing even after Tux Paint has been quit, or another picture is loaded or a new image is created. (In other words, if you base a drawing on a 'starter' image, it will always be affected by it.)
+ Aside from an image, starters can also be given other attributes. To do this, you need to create a 'data file' for the starter. (Note: Tux Paint prior to version 0.9.29 did not support starter options.)
+
+
+ A starter's data file is simply a plain ASCII text file containing the options for the starter.
+
+

+
+
+
allowscale
+
+
+ When a starter image is a different aspect ratio (width-to-height proportions) than Tux Paint's canvas, by default it will be scaled to fit entirely within the canvas, without stretching the starter (changing its aspect ratio); for example, a square starter on a portrait-shaped canvas will be placed in the center of the canvas. By default, Tux Paint will then take the strip of pixels at the edges of the starter and stretch them to the edges of the canvas, "smearing" it.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ If it's acceptable for the starter image to be cropped in one or both directions, the "allowscale" may be used to tell Tux Paint which behavior to allow:
+
+
+
+ For starters where it's alright to crop the left and right edges, but the top and bottom edges must be retained, use "allowscale=horizontal".
+
+ If the starter's aspect ratio is wider than that of the canvas, it will be scaled to fit the height of the canvas, and the left and right will be cropped.
+
+ If the starter's aspect ratio is taller than that of the canvas, it will be scaled to fit the height of the canvas, and no cropping will occur, and the left and right edges will be smeared.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ For starters where it's alright to crop the top and bottom edges, but the left and right edges must be retained, use "allowscale=vertical".
+
+ If the starter's aspect ratio is taller than that of the canvas, it will be scaled to fit the width of the canvas, and the top and bottom will be cropped.
+
+ If the starter's aspect ratio is wider than that of the canvas, it will be scaled to fit the width of the canvas, and no cropping will occur, and the top and bottom edges will be smeared.
+
+
+
+
+
+ If it's acceptable to crop either the top and bottom or the left and right, use "allowscale=both". Contents from starter will always fill the canvas, regardless of how its aspect ratio compare to that of the canvas.
+
+
+ The default behavior is to not allow cropping. This may be specified explicitly with "allowscale=none".
+
+
+
+
background
+
+
+ This option allows you to specify how Tux Paint should fill the rest of the canvas, when the starter does not fit in one or the other direction. By default, as described above, Tux Paint will "smear" the pixels from the edges of the starter. (This can be specified explicitly with "background=smear".)
+
+ You can instead specify a solid background color (e.g., white for a 'coloring-book' style starter, with "background=#fff").
+
+ 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").
+
+
+
gravity
+
+
+ This option allows you to specify how Tux Paint should position a starter, when it is being cropped in one or the other direction. By default, Tux Paint will place the center of the starter within the canvas. (This can be specified explicitly with "gravity=center".)
+
+ For example, if the top center of the starter contains the most important content, you can specify "gravity=top". Or, if the bottom right is important, specify "gravity=bottom-right".
