<h2>'Templates'</h2>
<blockquote>
<img src="images/open_open.png" width=48 height=48 alt="" align=right>
<p>'Template' images also appear in the 'New' dialog, along with solid
color background choices and 'Starters'. (Note: Tux Paint prior to
version 0.9.22 did not have the 'Template' feature.)</p>
<p>Unlike pictures drawn in Tux&nbsp;Paint by users and then opened
later, opening a 'template' creates a new drawing. When you save, the
'template' image is not overwritten. Unlike 'starters', there is no
immutable 'layer' above the canvas. You may draw over any part of it.</p>
<p>When the 'Eraser' tool is used on a picture based on a 'template',
rather than turning the canvas to a solid color, such as white, it
returns that part of the canvas to the original picture from the
'template'.</p>
<p>'Templates' are simply image files (in PNG, JPG, SVG or KPX format).
No preparation or conversion should be required.</p>
<p>The 'template' images should be the same size as Tux&nbsp;Paint's
canvas. (See the "Loading Other Pictures into Tux&nbsp;Paint" section of
<a href="README.html">README</a> for details on sizing.) If they are not,
they will be stretched, without affecting the shape ("aspect ratio");
however some smudging may be applied to the edges.</p>
<p>Place them in the "<code><b>templates</b></code>" directory.
When the 'New' dialog is accessed in Tux&nbsp;Paint, the 'template'
images will appear in the screen that appears, after the various solid color
choices and 'starters'.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> 'Templates' can't be saved over from within Tux&nbsp;Paint,
since loading a 'template' 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.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> 'Templates' are 'attached' to saved pictures, via a
small text file that has the same name as the saved file, but with
"<code>.dat</code>" as the extension. This allows the background
to continue to be available to the drawing (e.g., when using the 'Eraser'
tool) even after Tux&nbsp;Paint has been quit, or another picture loaded
or started. (In other words, if you base a drawing on a 'template' image,
it will always be affected by it.)</p>
