Tux Paint is a free, award-winning drawing program for children ages 3 to 12 for example, preschool and K Tux Paint is used in schools around the world as a computer literacy drawing activity. It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides children as they use the program.
Kids are presented with a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to help them be creative. See the full list of features. For parents, this also provides an alternative to messy paints and magic markers. It is also environment friendly because it saves paper. When Tux Paint is started, kids are presented with several image editing tools like a paint brush, stamps, eraser, adding text and the ability to open and print pictures. 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. As you move the mouse around the canvas, an outline follows the mouse, showing where the stamp will be placed, and how big it will be.
Click to place the stamp. There can be numerous categories of stamps e. Use the Left and Right arrows near the bottom of the Selector to cycle through the collections. Prior to 'stamping' an image onto your drawing, various effects can sometimes be applied depending on the stamp :. Buttons in the Help Area 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.
This tool lets you draw straight lines using the various brushes and colors you normally use with the Paint Brush. Click the mouse and hold it to choose the starting point of the line. As you move the mouse around, a thin 'rubber-band' line will show where the line will be drawn.
At the bottom, you'll see the angle of your line, in degrees. Some brushes are animated, and will show a pattern of shapes along the line. Others are directional, and will show a different shape depending on the angle of the brush. And finally some are both animated and directional. See "Paint", above, to learn more. Note: If shape controls are disabled e. In the canvas, click the mouse and hold it to stretch the shape out from where you clicked.
Some shapes can change proportion e. Now you can move the mouse around the canvas to rotate the shape. The angle your shape is rotated will be shown at the bottom, in degrees similar to the "Lines" tool, described above. Click the mouse button again and the shape will be drawn in the current color. Choose a font from the 'Letters' available on the right and a color from the color palette near the bottom. Click on the screen and a cursor will appear. Type text and it will show up on the screen.
Press [Enter] or [Return] and the text will be drawn onto the picture and the cursor will move down one line. Alternatively, press [Tab] and the text will be drawn onto the picture, but the cursor will move to the right of the text, rather than down a line, and to the left.
This can be useful to create a line of text with mixed colors, fonts, styles and sizes. Clicking elsewhere in the picture while the text entry is still active causes the current line of text to move to that location where you can continue editing it.
The Text 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 Magic tool effects e. When using the Label tool which was added to Tux Paint in version 0. This allows the label to be repositioned or edited later. The Label tool can be disabled e.
Tux Paint allows inputting characters in different languages. Some languages require that Tux Paint be switched into an alternate input mode before entering, and some characters must be composed using numerous keypresses. 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.
Currently supported locales, the input methods available, and the key to toggle or cycle modes, are listed below. Note: Many fonts do not include all characters for all languages, so sometimes you'll need to change fonts to see the characters you're trying to type.
An optional on-screen keyboard is available for the Text and Label tools, which can provide a variety of layouts and character composition e. See the " Options " and " Extending Tux Paint " documentation for more information. The 'Fill' tool 'flood-fills' a contiguous area of your drawing with a color of your choice. Three fill options are offered: Solid — click once to fill an area with a solid color.
Brush — click and drag to fill an area with a solid color using freehand painting. Linear — click and then drag to fill the area with color that fades away a gradient towards where you drag the mouse. Please fix this when possible.
