When Tux Paint loads an image that's not the same size as its drawing
canvas, it scales (and sometimes smears the edges of) the image so that
it fits within the canvas.
When Tux Paint loads an image that's not the same size as its drawing
canvas, it scales (and sometimes smears the edges of) the image so that it
fits within the canvas.
To avoid having the image stretched or smeared, you can resize it to Tux
Paint's canvas size. This size depends on the size of the Tux Paint
window, or resolution at which Tux Paint is run, if in fullscreen.
(Note: The default resolution is 800x600.) See "Calculating Image
Dimensions", below.

the filename using the current date and time, since that's the
convention Tux Paint uses:

Save the picture in PNG format. It is highly recommended that you name the
filename using the current date and time, since that's the convention Tux
Paint uses:
* YYYY = Year
* MM = Month (two digits, "01"-"12")
* DD = Day of month (two digits, "01"-"31")
* HH = Hour (two digits, in 24-hour format, "00"-"23")
* mm = Minute (two digits, "00"-"59")
* ss = Seconds (two digits, "00"-"59")

This part of the documentation needs to be rewritten, since the new
"buttonsize" option was added. For now, try drawing and saving an
image within Tux Paint, then determine what size (pixel width and
height) it came out to, and try to match that when scaling the
picture(s) you're importing into Tux Paint.

Using the import script, "<code>tuxpaint-import</code>" </h2>

<p>
Linux and Unix users can use the "<code>tuxpaint-import</code>" shell script which gets installed when you install Tux Paint. It uses some NetPBM tools to convert the image ("<code>anytopnm</code>"), resize it so that it will fit in Tux Paint's canvas ("<code>pnmscale</code>"), and convert it to a PNG ("<code>pnmtopng</code>"). </p>

To avoid having the image stretched or smeared, you can resize it to Tux Paint's canvas size. This size depends on the size of the Tux Paint window, or resolution at which Tux Paint is run, if in fullscreen. (<strong>Note:</strong> The default resolution is 800x600.) See "Calculating Image Dimensions", below. </p>

Save the picture in PNG format. It is <strong>highly</strong> recommended that you name the filename using the current date and time, since that's the convention Tux Paint uses: </p>

Calculating Image Dimensions </h3>
<blockquote>
<p>
This part of the documentation needs to be rewritten, since the new "<code>buttonsize</code>" option was added. For now, try drawing and saving an image within Tux Paint, then determine what size (pixel width and height) it came out to, and try to match that when scaling the picture(s) you're importing into Tux Paint. </p>
