Tux Paint Publisher's Description

Tux Paint - Drawing program for young children

Is a fun and easy to use drawing program for young children
Tux Paint is a free, fun drawing program built for young children (kids over the age of 3).

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.

Tux Paint provides a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to help your child be creative. Additional artwork ("stamps") can be downloaded and installed, providing a sticker-book functionality.

Tux Paint has been translated into over 45 languages, and a graphical configuration tool for parents and teachers is available which allows Tux Paint to be reconfigured to suit the special needs of children or the classroom environment.

Features:

Multi-Platform
· Works on Mac (Intel and PPC), Windows (Windows95 through Vista), Linux and other systems.
Simple Interface
· A number of useful drawing tools are made available. (See Drawing Tools, below.)
· The drawing canvas is a fixed size, so the user doesn’t need to worry about “pixels” or “inches” when making a new picture.
· The entire program fits on a screen as small as 640×480, and can be displayed full-screen, to hide the computer’s underlying “desktop” interface. (It defaults to 800×600 mode, but can run at larger sizes and in portrait or landscape mode, as well.)
· Loading and saving of images is done using thumbnails, so no knowledge of the underlying operating system’s filesystem structure is needed. Even filenames are unnecessary.
Entertaining Interface
· Fun sound effects are played when tools are selected and used.
· A cartoon version of Tux, the Linux penguin, appears at the bottom to give tips, hints and information.
