<p>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).</p>
|
||||
<p>As of Tux Paint version 0.9.17, Stamps may be either PNG
|
||||
bitmap images or SVG vector images. They can be full-color or greyscale.
|
||||
The alpha (transparency) channel of PNGs is used to determine the actual
|
||||
shape of the picture (otherwise you'll stamp a large rectangle on your
|
||||
drawings).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The PNGs can be any size, but in practice, a 100 pixels wide by
|
||||
100 pixels tall (100 x 100) is quite large for
|
||||
Tux Paint.</p>
|
||||
<p>PNGs can be any size, and Tux Paint (by default) provides
|
||||
a set of sizing buttons to let the user scale the stamp up (larger)
|
||||
and down (smaller).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note: If your new stamps all have solid rectangular-shaped outlines
|
||||
<p>SVGs are vector-based, and will be scaled appropriately for the
|
||||
canvas being used in Tux Paint.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note: If your new PNG stamps all have solid rectangular-shaped outlines
|
||||
of a solid color (e.g., white or black), it's because you forgot to use
|
||||
alpha transparency! See the documentation file
|
||||
"<a href="../PNG.txt">PNG.txt</a>" for more information and tips.</p>
