Add the word "tintable" to the stamp's data file.

|

Unalterable Stamps
|
||||
|
||||
By default, a stamp can be flipped upside down, shown as a mirror
|
||||
image, or both. This is done using the control buttons below the
|
||||
stamp selector, at the lower right side of the screen in
|
||||
Tux Paint.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes, it doesn't make sense for a stamp to be flippable or
|
||||
mirrored; for example, stamps of letters or numbers. Sometimes
|
||||
stamps are symettrical, so letting the user flip or mirror them
|
||||
isn't useful.
|
||||
|
||||
To make a stamp un-flippable, add the option "noflip" to the
|
||||
stamp's data file.
|
||||
|
||||
To keep a stamp from being mirrored, add the option "nomirror" to
|
||||
the stamp's data file.
|
||||
|
||||
Windows Users
|
||||
|
||||
You can use NotePad or WordPad to create these file. Be sure to
|
||||
save it as Plain Text, and make sure the filename has ".dat" at
|
||||
the end, and not ".txt"...
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-Mirrored Images
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases, you may wish to provide a pre-drawn version of a
|
||||
stamp's mirror-image. For example, imagine a picture of a fire truck
|
||||
with the words "Fire Department" written across the side. You
|
||||
probably do not want that text to appear backwards when the image is
|
||||
flipped!
|
||||
|
||||
To create a mirrored version of a stamp that you want Tux Paint to
|
||||
use, rather than mirroring one on its own, simply create a second
|
||||
".png" graphics file with the same name, except with the string
|
||||
"_mirror" before the filename extension.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, for the stamp "truck.png" you would create another file
|
||||
named "truck_mirror.png", which will be used when the stamp is
|
||||
mirrored (rather than using a backwards version of 'truck.png').
