"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").
|
||||
|
||||
⚙ See the "Options" and "Extending Tux Paint"
|
||||
documentation for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
"Fill" Tool
|
||||
|
||||
The 'Fill' tool 'flood-fills' a contiguous area of your drawing
