Linux and Unix users can use the "tuxpaint-import" shell

script which gets installed when you install Tux Paint.

It uses some NetPBM tools to convert the image
|
||||
("anytopnm"), resize it so that it will fit in
|

Tux Paint's canvas ("pnmscale"), and convert it to a PNG

("pnmtopng").

When Tux Paint loads an image that's not the same size

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
