|
|
|
|
<h2>What Is 'Tux Paint?'</h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Tux Paint is a free drawing program designed for young children
|
|
(kids ages 3 and up). It has a simple, easy-to-use interface, fun
|
|
sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who helps guide
|
|
children as they use the program. It provides a blank canvas and
|
|
a variety of drawing tools to help your child be creative.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<h2>License:</h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Tux Paint is an Open Source project, Free Software
|
|
released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It is free, and
|
|
the 'source code' behind the program is available. (This allows
|
|
others to add features, fix bugs, and use parts of the program in their
|
|
own GPL'd software.)</p>

<h2>Objectives:</h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><b>Easy and Fun</b></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Tux Paint is meant to be a simple drawing program for young children.
|
|
It is not meant as a general-purpose drawing tool. It <i>is</i> meant to
|
|
be fun and easy to use. Sound effects and a cartoon character help let
|
|
the user know what's going on, and keeps them entertained.
|
|
There are also extra-large cartoon-style mouse pointer shapes.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>Extensibility</b></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Tux Paint is extensible. Brushes and "rubber stamp" shapes can be
|
|
dropped in and pulled out. For example, a teacher can drop in a
|
|
collection of animal shapes and ask their students to draw an
|
|
ecosystem. Each shape can have a sound which is played, and
|
|
textual facts which are displayed, when the child selects the shape.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>Portability</b></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Tux Paint is portable among various computer platforms:
|
|
Windows, Macintosh, Linux, etc. The interface looks the same among
|
|
them all. Tux Paint runs suitably well on older systems (like a
|
|
Pentium 133), and can be built to run better on slow systems.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>Simplicity</b></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
There is no direct access to the computer's underlying intricacies.
|
|
The current image is kept when the program quits, and reappears when
|
|
it is restarted. Saving images requires no need to create filenames
|
|
or use the keyboard. Opening an image is done by selecting it from
|
|
a collection of thumbnails. Access to other files on the computer is
|
|
restricted.

<h2>Loading Tux Paint</h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<h3>Linux/Unix Users</h3>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Tux Paint should have placed a laucher icon in your KDE and/or GNOME
|
|
menus, under 'Graphics.'</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Alternatively, you can run the following command at a shell prompt
|
|
(e.g., "$"):</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<code>$ tuxpaint</code>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>If any errors occur, they will be displayed on the terminal
|
|
(to "stderr").</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>If you installed Tux Paint on your computer using the
|
|
'Tux Paint Installer,' it will have asked you whether you
|
|
wanted a 'Start' menu short-cut, and/or a desktop shortcut. If you
|
|
agreed, you can simply run Tux Paint from the 'Tux Paint'
|
|
section of your 'Start' menu (e.g., under "All Programs" on
|
|
Windows XP), or by double-clicking the "Tux Paint" icon
|
|
on your desktop.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you installed Tux Paint using the 'ZIP-file' download,
|
|
or if you used the 'Tux Paint Installer,' but chose not to
|
|
have shortcuts installed, you'll need to double-click the
|
|
"<code>tuxpaint.exe</code>" icon in the 'Tux Paint' folder on
|
|
your computer.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>By default, the 'Tux Paint Installer' will put
|
|
Tux Paint's folder in "<code>C:\Program Files\</code>",
|
|
though you may have changed this when the installer ran.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you used the 'ZIP-file' download, Tux Paint's folder will
|
|
be wherever you put it when you unzipped the ZIP file.</p>

<p>The Stamp tool is like a set of rubber stamps or stickers.
|
|
It lets you paste pre-drawn or photographic images (like a picture
|
|
of a horse, or a tree, or the moon) in your picture.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As you move the mouse around the canvas, an outline follows the

be.</p>

<p>There can be numerous categories of stamps (e.g., animals,
|
|
plants, outer space, vehicles, people, etc.). Use the
|
|
Left and Right arrows to cycle through the collections.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Prior to 'stamping' an image onto your drawing, various
|
|
effects can sometimes be applied (depending on the stamp):</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Some stamps can be colored or tinted. If the color palette
|
|
below the canvas is activated, you can click the colors to change
|
|
the tint or color of the stamp before placing it in the picture.</li>
|
|
<li>Stamps can be shrunk and expanded, by clicking within the
|
|
triangular-shaped series of bars at the bottom right;
|
|
the larger the bar, the larger the stamp will appear in your
|
|
picture.</li>
|
|
<li>Many stamps may be flipped vertically, or displayed as a
|
|
mirror-image, using the control buttons at the bottom right.</li>

<p>Different stamps can have different sound effects and/or
|
|
descriptive (spoken) sounds. Buttons at the lower left
|
|
(near Tux, the Linux penguin) allow you to re-play the sound effects
|
|
and descriptive sounds for the currently-selected stamp.</p>

<p>The <b>Text</b> 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 <b>Magic</b> tool effects (e.g., smudged,
|
|
tinted, embossed, etc.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When using the <b>Label</b> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <b>Label</b> tool can be disabled (e.g., by selecting
|
|
"Disable 'Label' Tool" in <i>Tux Paint Config.</i>
|

or running <i>Tux Paint</i> with the "<code>--nolabel</code>"

<dt><b>International Character Input</b></dt>

<p>Tux Paint allows inputting characters in different languages.
|
|
Most Latin characters (<i>A</i>-<i>Z</i>,
|
|
<i>ñ</i>, <i>è</i>, 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Currently supported locales, the input methods available, and
|
|
the key to toggle or cycle modes, are listed below.
|

<b>Note:</b> Many fonts do not include all characters for
|

all languages, so sometimes you'll need to change fonts to see the

<p><i>Tux Paint</i> prints by generating a PostScript

representation of the drawing and sending it to an external

program. By default, the program is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><code>
|
|
lpr

</code></blockquote>
|
|
|

<p>This command can be changed by setting the "printcommand" value

in Tux Paint's configuration file.</p>

|
|
|
<p>If the <b>[Alt]</b> key on the keyboard is being pushed
|
|
while clicking the 'Print' button, as long as you're not in

the program is KDE's graphical print dialog:</p>

<p>This command can be changed by setting the "altprintcommand" value

<p>However, if you hold the <b>[Alt]</b> (or <b>[Option]</b>) key

not in fullscreen mode, your operating system's printer dialog

|
<h2>Using '<code>tuxpaint-import</code>'</h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Linux and Unix users can use the "<code><b>tuxpaint-import</b></code>"
|
|
shell script which gets installed when you install Tux Paint.
|
|
It uses some NetPBM tools to convert the image ("<code>anytopnm</code>"),
|
|
resize it so that it will fit in Tux Paint's canvas
|
|
("<code>pnmscale</code>"), and convert it to a PNG
|
|
("<code>pnmtopng</code>").</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It also uses the "<code>date</code>" command to get the current time and
|
|
date, which is the file-naming convention Tux Paint uses for saved
|
|
files. (Remember, you are never asked for a 'filename' when you go to
|
|
Save or Open pictures!)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To use '<code>tuxpaint-import</code>', simply run the command from a
|
|
command-line prompt and provide it the name(s) of the file(s) you wish
|
|
to convert.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>They will be converted and placed in your Tux Paint 'saved'
|
|
directory. (Note: If you're doing this for a different user - e.g.,
|
|
your child, you'll need to make sure to run the command under their
|
|
account.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><code>
|
|
$ <b>tuxpaint-import grandma.jpg</b><br>
|
|
grandma.jpg -> /home/username/.tuxpaint/saved/20020921123456.png<br>
|
|
jpegtopnm: WRITING A PPM FILE
|
|
</code></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first line ("<code>tuxpaint-import grandma.jpg</code>") is the
|
|
command to run. The following two lines are output from the program while
|
|
it's working.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now you can load Tux Paint, and a version of that original picture
|
|
will be available under the 'Open' dialog. Just double-click its icon!</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Doing it Manually</h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Windows, Mac OS X and BeOS users must currently do the conversion
|
|
manually.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Load a graphics program that is capable of both loading your picture
|
|
and saving a PNG format file. (See the documentation file
|
|
"<a href="../PNG.txt">PNG.txt</a>" for a list of suggested software,
|
|
and other references.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When Tux Paint loads an image that's not the same size as its drawing
|
|
canvas, it scales (and sometimes smears the edges of) the image so that
|
|
it fits within the canvas.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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. (<b>Note:</b> The default resolution is 800x600.)
|
|
See "Calculating Image Dimensions", below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Save the picture in PNG format. It is <b>highly</b> recommended that you
|
|
name the filename using the current date and time, since that's
|
|
the convention Tux Paint uses:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<code><b>YYYYMMDDhhmmss</b>.png</code>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>YYYY = Year
|
|
<li>MM = Month (01-12)
|
|
<li>DD = Day (01-31)
|
|
<li>HH = Hour, in 24-hour format (00-23)
|
|
<li>mm = Minute (00-59)
|
|
<li>ss = Second (00-59)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>e.g.:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<code>20020921130500</code> - for September 21, 2002, 1:05:00pm
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>Place this PNG file in your Tux Paint '<code>saved</code>'
|
|
directory. (See above.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Calculating Image Dimensions</h3>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The width of Tux Paint's canvas is simply the width of the
|
|
window (e.g., 640, 800 or 1024 pixels), minus 192.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Calculating the height of Tux Paint's canvas requires multiple
|
|
steps:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Take the height of the window (e.g, 480, 600 or 768 pixels) and
|
|
subtract 144
|
|
<li>Take the result of Step 1 and divide it by 48
|
|
<li>Take the result of Step 2 and round it down (e.g., 9.5 becomes
|
|
simply 9)
|
|
<li>Take the result of Step 3 and multiply it by 48
|
|
<li>Finally, take the result of Step 4 and add 40
|
|
</ol></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Example:</b> Tux Paint running at fullscreen on a 1440x900
|
|
display.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The canvas width is simply 1440 - 192, or 1248.
|
|
<li>The canvas height is calculated as:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>900 - 144, or 756
|
|
<li>756 / 48, or 15.75
|
|
<li>15.75 rounded down, or 15
|
|
<li>15 * 48, or 720
|
|
<li>720 + 40, or 760
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
So the canvas within a 1440x900 Tux Paint window is 1248x760.</p>
