<h1>Tux Paint Config.</h1>
<blockquote>
<p>As of Tux&nbsp;Paint version&nbsp;0.9.14, a graphical tool is available
that allows you to change Tux&nbsp;Paint's behavior. However, if you'd
rather not install and use this tool, or want a better understanding of
the available options, please continue reading.</p>
</blockquote>
<hr size=2 noshade>
<h1>Configuration File</h1>
<blockquote>
<p>You can create a simple configuration file for Tux&nbsp;Paint, which it
will read each time you start it up.</p>
<p>The file is simply a plain text file containing the options
you want enabled:</p>
<h2>Linux, Unix and Mac&nbsp;OS&nbsp;X Users</h2>
<blockquote>
<p>The file you should create is called
"<code><b>.tuxpaintrc</b></code>"
and it should be placed in your home directory.
(a.k.a. "<code>~/.tuxpaintrc</code>" or
"<code>$HOME/.tuxpaintrc</code>")</p>
<h3>System-Wide Configuration File (Linux and Unix)</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>Before this file is read, a system-wide configuration file is
read. (By default, this configuration has no settings enabled.)
It is located at:</p>
<blockquote>
<code>/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf</code>
</blockquote>
<p>You can disable reading of this file altogether, leaving the
settings as defaults (which can then be overridden by your
"<code>.tuxpaintrc</code>" file and/or command-line arguments)
by using the command-line option:</p>
<blockquote>
<code>--nosysconfig</code>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<h2>Windows Users</h2>
<blockquote>
<p>The file you should create is called
"<code><b>tuxpaint.cfg</b></code>" and it
should be placed in Tux&nbsp;Paint's folder.</p>
<p>You can use NotePad or WordPad to create this file.
Be sure to save it as Plain Text, and make sure the filename
doesn't have ".txt" at the end...</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<hr size=2 noshade><p>
<h1>Available Options</h1>
<blockquote>
<p>The following settings can be set in the configuration file.
(Command-line settings will override these.
See the "<a href="#command_line"><i>Command-Line Options</i></a>"
section, below.)</p>
<dl>
<dt><code><b>fullscreen=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
Run the program in full screen mode, rather than in a window.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>windowsize=<i>SIZE</i></b></code></dt>
<dd>
Run the program at a higher resolution, rather than the default of 640x480.
The <i>SIZE</i> value may be one of:
<ul>
<li>640x480
<li>800x600
<li>1024x768
<li>1280x1024
<li>1400x1050
<li>1600x1200
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>nosound=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
Disable sound effects. (Note: Pressing <b>[Alt]</b>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<b>[S]</b>
cannot be used to reenable sounds if they were disabled using this option.)
</dd>
<dt><code><b>noquit=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Disable the on-screen "Quit" button and prevent the <b>[Escape]</b> key
from quitting <i>Tux&nbsp;Paint</i>.</p>
<p>Using the <b>[Alt]</b>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<b>[F4]</b> keyboard combination
or clicking the window's close button (assuming you're not in
fullscreen mode) still works to quit <i>Tux&nbsp;Paint</i>.</p>
<p>You can also use the following keyboard combination to quit:
<b>[Shift]</b>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<b>[Control]</b>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<b>[Escape]</b>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>noprint=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
Disable the printing feature.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>printdelay=<i>SECONDS</i></b></code></dt>
<dd>
Restrict printing so that printing can occur only once every
<i>SECONDS</i> seconds.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>printcommand=<i>COMMAND</i></b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p><i>(Linux and Unix only)</i></p>
<p>Use the command <i>COMMAND</i> to print a PostScript format file
when the 'Print' button is clicked.
If this option is not specifically not set, the default command is:</p>
<blockquote>
<code>lpr</code>
</blockquote>
<p><b>Note:</b> Versions of <i>Tux&nbsp;Paint</i> prior to 0.9.15
sent PNG format data to the print command (which defaulted to
"<code>pngtopnm&nbsp;|&nbsp;pnmtops&nbsp;|&nbsp;lpr</code>").</p>
<p>If you set an alternative <code><b>printcommand</b></code> in the
configuration file prior to version 0.9.15, you will need to change it.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>altprintcommand=<i>COMMAND</i></b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p><i>(Linux and Unix only)</i></p>
<p>Use the command <i>COMMAND</i> to print a PostScript format file
when the 'Print' button is clicked while the <b>[Alt]</b> modifier
key is being held. (This is typically used for providing a print
dialog, similar to when pressing <b>[Alt]</b>+'Print' in Windows and
Mac&nbsp;OS&nbsp;X.)</p>
<p>If this option is not specifically not set, the default command is
KDE's graphical print dialog:</p>
<blockquote>
<code>kprinter</code>
</blockquote>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>printcfg=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p><i>(Windows only)</i></p>
<p>Tux&nbsp;Paint will use a printer configuration file when printing.
Push the <b>[Alt]</b> key while clicking the 'Print' button in
Tux&nbsp;Paint to cause a Windows print dialog window to appear.</p>
<p>(Note: This only works when not running Tux&nbsp;Paint in
fullscreen mode.) Any configuration changes made in this dialog
will be saved to the file "<code>userdata/print.cfg</code>", and
used again, as long as the "printcfg" option is set.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>altprint=always</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This causes Tux&nbsp;Paint to always show the printer dialog
(or, on Linux/Unix, run the "altprintcommand") when the 'Print' button
is clicked. In other words, it's like clicking 'Print' while holding
<b>[Alt]</b>, except you don't need to hold <b>[Alt]</b> every time.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>altprint=never</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This prevents Tux&nbsp;Paint from <i>ever</i> showing the printer dialog
(or, on Linux/Unix, run the "altprintcommand") when the 'Print' button
is clicked. In other words, it makes the <b>[Alt]</b> key have no
effect when clicking the 'Print' button.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>altprint=mod</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This is the normal, default behavior. Tux&nbsp;Paint shows a
printer dialog (or, on Linux/Unix, runs the "altprintcommand"),
when the <b>[Alt]</b> key is pressed while the 'Print' button is clicked.
Clicking 'Print' without holding <b>[Alt]</b> prints without showing
a dialog.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>simpleshapes=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
Disable the rotation step of the 'Shape' tool.
Click, drag and release is all that will be needed to draw a shape.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>uppercase=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
All text will be rendered only in uppercase (e.g., "Brush" will
be "BRUSH"). Useful for children who can read, but who have only
learned uppercase letters so far.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>grab=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Tux&nbsp;Paint will attempt to 'grab' the mouse and keyboard, so
that the mouse is confined to Tux&nbsp;Paint's window, and nearly all
keyboard input is passed directly to it.</p>
<p>This is useful to disable operating system actions that could get
the user out of Tux&nbsp;Paint <b>[Alt]-[Tab]</b> window cycling,
<b>[Ctrl]-[Escape]</b>, etc. This is especially useful in
fullscreen mode.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>noshortcuts=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This disable keyboard shortcuts (e.g., <b>[Ctrl]-[S]</b> for save,
<b>[Ctrl]-[N]</b> for a new image, etc.)</p>
<p>This is useful to prevent unwanted commands from being activated
by children who aren't experienced with keyboards.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>nowheelmouse=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
This disables support for the wheel on mice that have it.
(Normally, the wheel will scroll the selector menu on the right.)
</dd>
<dt><code><b>nobuttondistinction=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Prior to Tux&nbsp;Paint 0.9.15, the middle and right buttons on
a mouse could also be used for clicking. In version 0.9.15, it was changed
so that <i>only</i> the left mouse button worked, so as to not train
children to use the wrong button.</p>
<p>However, for children who have trouble with the mouse, this distinction
between the two or three buttons on a mouse can be disabled (returning
Tux&nbsp;Paint to its old behavior) by using this option.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>nofancycursors=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This disables the fancy mouse pointer shapes in Tux&nbsp;Paint,
and uses your environment's normal mouse pointer.</p>
<p>In some enviornments, the fancy cursors cause problems.
Use this option to avoid them.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>nooutlines=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>In this mode, much simpler outlines and 'rubber-band' lines are
displayed when using the <b>Lines</b>, <b>Shapes</b>,
<b>Stamps</b> and <b>Eraser</b> tools.</p>
<p>This can help when Tux&nbsp;Paint is run on very slow computers,
or displayed on a remote X-Window display.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>sysfonts=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This option causes Tux&nbsp;Paint to attempt to load fonts
(for use in the <b>Text</b> tool) from your operating system.
Normally, Tux&nbsp;Paint will only load the ones that came bundled
with Tux&nbsp;Paint.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>nostamps=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This option tells Tux&nbsp;Paint to not load any rubber stamp
images, which in turn ends up disabling the <b>Stamps</b> tool.</p>
<p>This can speed up Tux&nbsp;Paint when it first loads up,
and reduce memory usage while it's running. Of course, no stamps
will be available at all.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>nostampcontrols=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
Some images in the <b>Stamps</b> tool can be mirrored, flipped,
and/or have their size changed. This option disables the controls,
and only provides the basic stamps.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>mirrorstamps=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>For stamps that can be mirrored, this option sets them to their
mirrored shape by default.</p>
<p>This can be useful for people who prefer things right-to-left,
rather than left-to-right.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>keyboard=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This allows the keyboard arrow keys to be used
to control the mouse pointer. (e.g., for mouseless environments.)</p>
<p>The <b>[Arrow]</b> keys move the mouse pointer.
<b>[Space]</b> acts as the mouse button.</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>savedir=<i>DIRECTORY</i></b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Use this option to change where Tux&nbsp;Paint saves pictures.
By default, this is "<code>~/.tuxpaint/saved/</code>" under Linux
and Unix, and "<code>userdata\</code>" under Windows.</p>
<p>This can be useful in a Windows lab, where Tux&nbsp;Paint is
installed on a server, and children run it from workstations.
You can set <code>savedir</code> to be a folder in their home
directory. (e.g., "<code>H:\tuxpaint\</code>")</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> When specifying a Windows drive (e.g.,
"<code>H:\</code>"), you must also specify a subdirectory.</p>
<p><b>Example:</b> <code>savedir=Z:\tuxpaint\</code></p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>saveover=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
This disables the "<i>Save over the old version...?</i>" prompt when
saving an existing file. With this option, the older version
will always be replaced by the new version, automatically.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>saveover=new</b></code></dt>
<dd>
This also disables the "<i>Save over the old version...?</i>" prompt
when saving an existing file. This option, however, will always
save a new file, rather than overwrite the older version.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>saveover=ask</b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p><i>(This option is redundant, since this is the default.)</i></p>
When saving an existing drawing, you will be first asked whether
to save over the older version or not.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>nosave=yes</b></code></dt>
<dd>
This disables Tux&nbsp;Paint's ability to save files
(and therefore disables the on-screen "Save" button).
It can be used in situations where the program is only being used for
fun, or in a test environment.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>startblank=yes</b></code</dt>
<dd>
This causes Tux&nbsp;Paint to display a blank canvas when it first
starts up, rather than loading the last image that was being edited.
</dd>
<dt><code><b>colorfile=<i>FILENAME</i></b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>You may override Tux&nbsp;Paint's default color palette by creating
a plain ASCII text file that describes the colors you want, and
pointing to that file using the <code>colorfile</code> option.</p>
<p>The file should list one color per line. Colors are defined in
terms of their Red, Green and Blue values, each from 0 (off) to 255
(brightest). (For more information, try Wikipedia's
"<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rgb">RGB color model</a>"
article.)</p>
<p>Colors may be listed using three decimal numbers (e.g.,
"<code>255&nbsp;68&nbsp;136</code>") or a 6- or 3-digit-long hexadecimal
'triplet' (e.g., "<code>#ff4488</code>" or "<code>#F48</code>").</p>
<p>After the color definition (on the same line) you may enter text to
describe the color. Tux will display this text when the color is
clicked. (For example,
"<code>#FFF&nbsp;White&nbsp;as&nbsp;snow.</code>")</p>
<p>As an example, you can see the default colors currently
used in Tux&nbsp;Paint in:
"<a href="default_colors.txt"><code>default_colors.txt</code></a>".</p>
<p>NOTES: You must separate decimal values with spaces, and begin
hexadecimal values with a pound/number-sign character
("<code>#</code>"). In 3-digit hexadecimal, each digit is used for
both the high and low halves of the byte, so
"<code>#FFF</code>" is the same as "<code>#FFFFFF</code>", not
"<code>#F0F0F0</code>".</p>
</dd>
<dt><code><b>lang=<i>LANGUAGE</i></b></code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Run Tux&nbsp;Paint in one of the supported languages.
Possible choice for <i>LANGUAGE</i> currently include:</p>

are not represented using a Latin character set, like the others.

<h2>Setting Your Environment's Locale</h2>
<blockquote>
<p>Changing your locale will affect much of your environment.</p>
<p>As stated above, along with letting you choose the language at
runtime using command-line options ("<code>--lang</code>" and
"<code>--locale</code>"),
Tux&nbsp;Paint honors the global locale setting in your environment.</p>
<p>If you haven't already set your environment's locale, the following
will briefly explain how:</p>
<h3>Linux/Unix Users</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>First, be sure the locale you want to use is enabled by
editing the file "<code>/etc/locale.gen</code>" on your system and
then running the program "<code>locale-gen</code>" as root.</p>
<p><i>Note: Debian users may be able to simply run the command
"<code>dpkg-reconfigure&nbsp;locales</code>".</i></p>
<p>Then, before running Tux&nbsp;Paint, set your "<code>$LANG</code>"
environment variable to one of the locales listed above. (If you
want all programs that can be translated to be, you may wish to place
the following in your login script; e.g. <code>~/.profile</code>,
<code>~/.bashrc</code>, <code>~/.cshrc</code>, etc.)</p>
<p>For example, in a Bourne Shell (like BASH):</p>
<blockquote><code>
export&nbsp;LANG=es_ES&nbsp;;&nbsp;\<br>
tuxpaint
</code></blockquote>
<p>And in a C Shell (like TCSH):</p>
<blockquote><code>
setenv&nbsp;LANG&nbsp;es_ES&nbsp;;&nbsp;\<br>
tuxpaint
</code></blockquote>
</blockquote>
<hr size=1 noshade>
<h3>Windows Users</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>Tux&nbsp;Paint will recognize the current locale and use the
appropriate files by default. So this section is only for people
trying different languages.</p>
<p>The simplest thing to do is to use the '<code>--lang</code>'
switch in the shortcut (see "INSTALL.txt"). However, by using
an MSDOS&nbsp;Prompt window, it is also possible to issue a command
like this:</p>
<blockquote><code>
set LANG=es_ES
</code></blockquote>
<p>...which will set the language for the lifetime of that DOS
window.</p>
<p>For something more permanent, try editing your computer's
'<code>autoexec.bat</code>' file using Windows' "<b>sysedit</b>"
tool:</p>
<h6>Windows 95/98</h6>
<ol>
<li>Click on the 'Start' button, and select 'Run...'.
<li>Type "sysedit" into the 'Open:' box (with or without quotes).
<li>Click 'OK'.
<li>Locate the AUTOEXEC.BAT window in the System Configuration
Editor.
<li>Add the following at the bottom of the file:
<blockquote><code>
set LANG=es_ES
</code></blockquote>
<li>Close the System Configuration Editor, answering yes to save
the changes.
<li>Restart your machine.
</ol>
<blockquote>
To affect the <b>entire machine</b>, and <b>all applications</b>,
it is possible to use the "Regional Settings" control panel:
</blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Click on the 'Start' button, and select
'Settings&nbsp;|&nbsp;Control&nbsp;Panel'.
<li>Double click on the "Regional&nbsp;Settings" globe.
<li>Select a language/region from the drop down list.
<li>Click 'OK'.
<li>Restart your machine when prompted.
</ol>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<h3><a name="special_fonts">Special Fonts</a></h3>
<blockquote>
Some languages require special fonts be installed. These font
files (which are in TrueType format (TTF)), are much too large to
include with the Tux&nbsp;Paint download, and are available
separately. (See the table above, under the
"<a href="#different_language"><i>Choosing a Different Language</i></a>"
section.)<p>
When running Tux&nbsp;Paint in a language that requires its own font,
Tux&nbsp;Paint will try to load the font file from its system-wide
"<code><b>fonts</b></code>" directory (under a
"<code><b>locale</b></code>" subdirectory). The name of the file
corresponds to the first two letters in the 'locale' code of the
language (e.g., "ko" for Korean, "ja" for Japanese,
"zh_tw" for Traditional Chinese).<p>
For example, under Linux or Unix, when Tux&nbsp;Paint is run in Korean
(e.g., with the option "<code>--lang&nbsp;korean</code>"),
Tux&nbsp;Paint will attempt to load the following font file:<p>
<blockquote>
<code>/usr/share/tuxpaint/fonts/locale/<b>ko.ttf</b></code>
</blockquote><p>
You can download fonts for supported languages from Tux&nbsp;Paint's
website,
<a href="http://www.tuxpaint.org/">http://www.tuxpaint.org/</a>.
(Look in the 'Fonts' section under 'Download.')<p>
Under Unix and Linux, you can use the <code>Makefile</code> that comes
with the font to install the font in the appropriate location.<p>
