<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"

<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 and Unix 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
</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>
Mac&nbsp;OS&nbsp;X Users
</h2>
<blockquote>
<p>
The file you should create is called
"<code><b>tuxpaint.cfg</b></code>" and it should be
placed in your home folder, under the sub-folder:
<code>Library/Application Support/TuxPaint</code>
</p>
<h3>
System-Wide Configuration File
</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>/Library/Application
Support/TuxPaint/tuxpaint.cfg</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>

<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>fullscreen=native</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Run the program in full screen mode. Additionally, assume
the screen's current resolution (set by the operating
system).
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>windowsize=<i>SIZE</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Run the program at a different size (in windowed mode)
or at a different screen resolution (in fullscreen
mode), rather than the default (usually 800x600).
</p>
<p>
The <i>SIZE</i> value should be presented in pixels, in
'width-by-height' format, with an "x"
(lowercase&nbsp;X) between the values. The size can be
anything that's at least 640 wide, and at least 480
tall.
</p>
<p>
Some examples:
</p>
<ul>
<li>640x480
</li>
<li>1024x768
</li>
<li>768x1024
</li>
<li>1600x1200
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>orient=portrait</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Swaps the width/height options given to Tux&nbsp;Paint,
useful for rotating the window on portait displays,
such as a tablet&nbsp;PC that's in tablet orientation.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>native=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
When running <i>Tux&nbsp;Paint</i> in fullscreen mode,
this assumes the screen's current resolution
(overriding any "<code>windowsize</code>" option), as
set by the operating system.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>allowscreensaver=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
By default, <i>Tux&nbsp;Paint</i> prevents your
system's screensaver from starting up. You can override
this by using the "<code>allowscreensaver</code>"
option. Note: This requires version 1.2.12 or higher of
the SDL library. (You can also do this by setting the
"<code>SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER</code>" environment
variable on your system to "<code>1</code>".)
</p>
</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>nostereo=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Disable stereo panning support. (Useful for users with
hearing impairment in one ear, or places where a single
speaker or headphone is being used.)
</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 and macOS 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>papersize=<i>PAPERSIZE</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
<i>(Platforms that use Tux&nbsp;Paint's internal
PostScript generator — not Windows, macOS, BeOS, or
Haiku.)</i>
</p>
<p>
Tell Tux&nbsp;Paint what size PostScript to generate.
If none is specified, Tux&nbsp;Paint first checks your
<code>$PAPER</code> environment variable, then the file
<code>/etc/papersize</code>, then uses the the
'libpaper' library's default paper size.
</p>
<p>
Valid paper sizes include: letter, legal, tabloid,
executive, note, statement, a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6,
a7, a8, a9, a10, b0, b1, b2 b3, b4, 10x14, 11x17,
halfletter, halfexecutive, halfnote, folio, quarto,
ledger, archA, archB, archC, archD, archE, flsa, flse,
csheet, dsheet, esheet.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>nolockfile=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
By default, Tux&nbsp;Paint uses what's known as a
'lockfile' to prevent it from being launched more than
once in 30&nbsp;seconds. (This is to avoid accidentally
running multiple copies; for example, by
double-clicking a single-click launcher, or simply
impatiently clicking the icon multiple times.)
</p>
<p>
To make Tux&nbsp;Paint ignore the lockfile, allowing it
to run again, even if it was just launched less than
30&nbsp;seconds ago, enable this setting in the
configuration file, or run Tux&nbsp;Paint with the
'<code>--nolockfile</code>' option on the command-line.
</p>
<p>
By default, the lockfile is stored in
"<code>~/.tuxpaint/</code>" under Linux and Unix, and
"<code>userdata\</code>" under Windows.
</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>hidecursor=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This completely hides the mouse pointer shapes in
Tux&nbsp;Paint.
</p>
<p>
This is useful for touchscreen devices, such as tablet
PCs.
</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>alllocalefonts=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Prior to version 0.9.21, Tux&nbsp;Paint loaded all
fonts in its own fonts directory, including
locale-specific ones (e.g., the one for Tibetan, which
had no latin characters). As of 0.9.21, the only font
loaded from the locale-specific subdirectory, if any,
is one matching the locale Tux&nbsp;Paint is running
on.
</p>
<p>
To load all locale-specific fonts (the old behavior),
set this option.
</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>nomagiccontrols=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Some <b>Magic</b> tools have the option of acting like a
paintbrush, or affecting the entire canvas at once. This
option disables the controls, and only provides the
default functionality (usually paint-mode).
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>noshapecontrols=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Disable the control buttons shown when using the
<b>Shapes</b> tool that allow changing how shapes are
drawn — centered around the initial mouse click, or with
a corner at the initial mouse click.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>nolabel=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Disables the <b>Label</b> tool: the tool that allows text
entry which can be edited later.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>newcolorslast=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Places the blank color options in the <b>New</b> dialog
at the end, so that any Starters and/or Templates are
shown first.
</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>mouse-accessibility=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
In this mode, instead of clicking, dragging and releasing
(e.g., to draw), you click, move, and click again to end
the motion.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>onscreen-keyboard=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Presents a clickable on-screen keyboard when using the
<b>Text</b> and <b>Label</b> tools.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>onscreen-keyboard-layout=<i>LAYOUTNAME</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Selects the initial layout for the on-screen keyboard
when using the <b>Text</b> and <b>Label</b> tools.<br>
Note: Using this option implies automatically
<b>onscreen-keyboard=yes</b>, so setting both is
redundant.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>onscreen-keyboard-disable-change=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Disables the possibility for changing the layout of the
on-screen keyboard when using the <b>Text</b> and
<b>Label</b> tools, useful for simplifying things for the
small children.<br>
Note: Using this option implies automatically
<b>onscreen-keyboard=yes</b>, so setting both is
redundant.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>joystick-dev=<i>N</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Specify which joystick device should be used by Tux
Paint. Default value is 0 (the first joystick).
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>joystick-slowness=<i>SPEED</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Sets a delay at each axis motion, allowing to slow the
joystick. Allowed values are from 0 to 500. Default value
is 15.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>joystick-threshold=<i>THRESHOLD</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Sets the minimum level of axis motion to start moving the
pointer. Allowed values are from 0 to 32766. Default
value is 3200.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>joystick-maxsteps=<i>STEPS</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Sets the maximum pixels the pointer will move at once.
Allowed values are from 1 to 7. Default value is 7.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>joystick-hat-timeout=<i>MILLISECONDS</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Sets the delay after wich the pointer will start moving
automatically if the hat is keeped pushed. Allowed values
are from 0 to 3000. Default value is 1000.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>joystick-hat-slowness=<i>SPEED</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
Sets a delay at each automatic motion, allowing to slow
the speed of the hat. Allowed values are from 0 to 500.
Default value is 15.
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>joystick-btn-escape=<i>BUTTON

</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>stampsize=<i>SIZE</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use this option to force Tux&nbsp;Paint to set the
starting size of all stamps. The <code>SIZE</code>
value should be between 0 (smallest) and 10 (largest).
The size is relative to the available sizes of the
stamp, which depends on the stamp itself, and
Tux&nbsp;Paint's current canvas size.
</p>
<p>
Specifc "<code>default</code>" to let Tux&nbsp;Paint
decide (it's standard behavior).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>keyboard=yes</b></code>

This allows the keyboard arrow keys to be used to
control the mouse pointer. (e.g., for mouseless
environments, or handicapped/accessibility purposes)
</p>
<p>
Features:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Fine movement within canvas, or coarse movement if
[Shift] is held.
</li>
<li>Coarse movement within tool button areas.

<li>Key controls:
<ul>
<li>[Left]/[Right]/[Up]/[Down], numpad [1] thru
[9]: Move mouse
</li>
<li>[Space]/[5]: Click mouse (except when using
"Text" or "Label" tools)
</li>
<li>[Insert]/[F5]: Click mouse (always)
</li>
<li>[F4] jump mouse between "Tools", "Colors" and
canvas areas
</li>
<li>If mouse is within "Tools" section on the left,
or "Colors" secton at the bottom:
<ul>
<li>[F7], [F8]: Move down/up between buttons,
respectively (Tools section, only)
</li>
<li>[F11], [F12]: Move to previous/next button,
respectively
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>To click-and-drag, hold one of the 'click' keys
(e.g., [Insert]), and use the movement keys (e.g.,
[Left]).
<ul>
<li>Note: The "mouse accessibility" feature works
with the keyboard mouse controls. With both options
enabled, painting tools can be used to draw by
pressing a 'click' key to start clicking, movement
keys to move around (which will draw), and another
'click' key to end the click (stop drawing).
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>A regular mouse and/or joystick may still be used
(so you can, e.g., move with the mouse, and click with
the keyboard, or vice-versa)
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>savedir=<i>DIRECTORY</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use this option to change where Tux&nbsp;Paint's
"<code>saved</code>" directory/folder is located, which
is where Tux&nbsp;Paint saves and opens pictures.
</p>
<p>
If you do not override it, the <b><i>default</i></b>
location is:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Linux &amp; Unix — Under a hidden directory named
"<code>.tuxpaint</code>" in your home directory (aka
"<code>~</code>" or "<code>$HOME</code>")<br>
Example:
"<code>/home/<i>username</i>/.tuxpaint/saved/</code>"<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Windows — Inside a folder named
"<code>TuxPaint</code>" in your
"<code>Application&nbsp;Data</code>" folder.<br>
Example:
"<code>C:\Documents&nbsp;and&nbsp;Settings\<i>Username</i>\Application&nbsp;Data\TuxPaint\saved\</code>"<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>macOS — Inside a folder named
"<code>TuxPaint</code>" in your
"<code>Application&nbsp;Support</code>" folder.<br>
Example:
"<code>/Users/<i>Username</i>/Library/Application&nbsp;Support/TuxPaint/saved/</code>"<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> When specifying a Windows drive (e.g.,
"<code>H:\</code>"), you must also specify a
subdirectory.
</p>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> Prior to version 0.9.18, Tux&nbsp;Paint
would also use the setting or default for
"<code>savedir</code>" as the place to search for
personal data files (brushes, stamps, starters and
fonts). As of version 0.9.18, they may be specified
separately (see the "<code>datadir</code>" option,
below).
</p>
<p>
<b>Example:</b> <code>savedir=Z:\tuxpaint\</code>
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>exportdir=<i>DIRECTORY</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use this option to change where Tux&nbsp;Paint exports
files — single images, or animated GIF slideshows — for
external use.
</p>
<p>
If you do not override it, the <b><i>default</i></b>
location is determined as follows:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Linux &amp; Unix — If available, wherever your
desktop environment is configured for pictures to be
stored, based on your XDG (X&nbsp;Desktop&nbsp;Group)
configuration. (Try running the command-line
"<code style="white-space: nowrap;">xdg-user-dir
PICTURES</code>" to find out.)<br>
<br>
Typically (in an English locale), this will be a
"<code>Pictures/</code>" subdirectory in your home
directory (i.e., "<code>$HOME/Pictures/</code>" aka
"<code>~/Pictures</code>").<br>
<br>
Tux&nbsp;Paint will fall back to using that typical
directory, of no XDG configuration can be read, or
nothing is set for
"<code>XDG_PICTURES_DIR</code>".<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Windows — TBD! <!-- FIXME -->
</li>
<li>macOS — TBD! <!-- FIXME -->
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> When the defaults are used, a new
"<code>TuxPaint</code>" subdirectory will be created
and used. (e.g., "<code>~/Pictures/TuxPaint</code>")
When the "<code>--exportdir</code>" option is used, the
exact path specified will be used (no
"<code>TuxPaint</code>" subdirectory is created). It is
expected that the parent directory exists. (The
directory itself will be created, if it doesn't.)
</p>
<p>
<b>Example:</b>
<code>exportdir=/home/penguin/TuxPaintExports</code>
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<code><b>datadir=<i>DIRECTORY</i></b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use this option to change where Tux&nbsp;Paint looks
for personal data files (brushes, stamps, starters,
templates, and fonts specific to the current user).
</p>
<p>
Tux&nbsp;Paint will search for
subdirectories/subfolders named "<code>brushes</code>",
"<code>stamps</code>", "<code>starters</code>",
"<code>templates</code>", and "<code>fonts</code>"
under the specified data directory.
</p>
<p>
If you do not override it, the <b><i>default</i></b>
location is:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Linux &amp; Unix — Under a hidden directory named
"<code>.tuxpaint</code>" in your home directory (aka
"<code>~</code>" or "<code>$HOME</code>")<br>
Example:
"<code>/home/<i>username</i>/.tuxpaint/brushes/</code>"<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Windows — Inside a folder named
"<code>TuxPaint</code>" in your
"<code>Application&nbsp;Data</code>" folder.<br>
Example:
"<code>C:\Documents&nbsp;and&nbsp;Settings\<i>Username</i>\Application&nbsp;Data\TuxPaint\brushes\</code>"<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>macOS — Inside a folder named
"<code>TuxPaint</code>" in your
"<code>Application&nbsp;Support</code>" folder.<br>
Example:
"<code>/Users/<i>Username</i>/Library/Application&nbsp;Support/TuxPaint/brushes/</code>"<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> Prior to version 0.9.18, Tux&nbsp;Paint
would use the same setting or default as for
"<code>savedir</code>" to search for data files. As of
version 0.9.18, they may be specified separately.
</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>datadir=/home/johnny/tuxpaint-data/</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>autosave=yes</b></code>
</dt>
<dd>
This prevents Tux&nbsp;Paint from asking whether you want
to save the current picture when quitting, and assumes
you do.
</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:

<h1>
Overriding System Config. Options using
<code>.tuxpaintrc</code>
</h1>
<blockquote>
<p>
<i>(For Linux and Unix users)</i>
</p>
<p>
If any of the above options are set in
"<code>/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.config</code>", you can
override them in your own "<code>~/.tuxpaintrc</code>"
file.
</p>
<p>
For true/false options, like "<code>noprint</code>" and
"<code>grab</code>", you can simply say they equal 'no' in
your "<code>~/.tuxpaintrc</code>" file:
</p>
<blockquote>
<code>noprint=no<br>
uppercase=no</code>
</blockquote>
<p>
Or, you can use options similar to the command-line
override options described below. For example:
</p>
<blockquote>
<code>print=yes<br>
mixedcase=yes</code>
</blockquote>

Run Tux&nbsp;Paint in one of the support languages.
See the "<i><a href="#different_language">Choosing a

locale strings (e.g., "<code>de_DE</code>" for
German) to use.
</p>
<p>
(If your locale is already set, e.g. with the

<blockquote>
<p>
Tux&nbsp;Paint has been translated into a number of
languages. To access the translations, you can use the
"<code>--lang</code>" option on the command-line to set the
language (e.g. "<code>--lang&nbsp;spanish</code>") or use
the "<code>lang=</code>" setting in the configuration file
(e.g., "<code>lang=spanish</code>").
</p>
<p>
Tux&nbsp;Paint also honors your environment's current
locale. (You can override it on the command-line using the
"<code>--locale</code>" option; see <a href=
"#locale">above</a>.)
</p>
<p>
Use the option "<code>--lang&nbsp;help</code>" to list the
available language options available.

<b>(*)</b> - These languages require their own fonts,
since they are not represented using a Latin character
set, like the others. See the "<a href=
"#special_fonts"><i>Special&nbsp;Fonts</i></a>" section,
below.
</p>
<p>
<i>Note:</i> Tux Paint provides an alternative input
method for entering characters with the <b>Text</b> tool
in some locales. The key comibation(s) listed can be used
to cycle through the supported input methods while the
<b>Text</b> tool is active.
</p>
</blockquote>
<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>" as
root to bring up a configuration dialog. Ubuntu users
may be able to run
"<code>sudo&nbsp;dpkg-reconfigure&nbsp;localeconf</code>"
(the "localeconf" package may need to be installed
first), or may need to edit the file
"<code>/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local</code>"
first, and add locales they want, from the list found
in "<code>/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED</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>

<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>
<li>Type "sysedit" into the 'Open:' box (with or
without quotes).
</li>
<li>Click 'OK'.
</li>
<li>Locate the AUTOEXEC.BAT window in the System
Configuration Editor.
</li>
<li>Add the following at the bottom of the file:
<blockquote>
<code>set LANG=es_ES</code>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Close the System Configuration Editor, answering
yes to save the changes.
</li>
<li>Restart your machine.
</li>
</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>
<li>Double click on the "Regional&nbsp;Settings" globe.
</li>
<li>Select a language/region from the drop down list.
</li>
<li>Click 'OK'.
</li>
<li>Restart your machine when prompted.
</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<h3>
<a name="special_fonts"
id="special_fonts">Special Fonts</a>
</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>
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>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> As of version 0.9.18, Tux&nbsp;Paint uses
the "SDL_Pango" library, which utilizes the "Pango"
library to render text in the user interface, rather than
using "SDL_ttf" directly. Unless your copy of
Tux&nbsp;Paint was built without Pango support, special
fonts should <b><i>no longer be necessary</i></b>.
</p>
<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>
<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>
<p>
<code>/usr/share/tuxpaint/fonts/locale/<b>ko.ttf</b></code>
</p>
</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>
<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.
