DESCRIPTION

Tux Paint is a drawing program for young children. It is meant to be
easy and fun to use. It provides a simple interface and fixed canvas
size, and provides access to previous images using a thumbnail
browser (i.e., no access to the underlying filesystem).

Unlike popular drawing programs like "The GIMP," it has a very
limited toolset. However, it provides a much simpler interface, and
has entertaining, child-oriented additions such as sound effects.

OPTIONS - INFORMATIONAL
tuxpaint accepts the following options to emit information about the
program. It then exits immediately (without opening a graphical
window).

--help Display short, helpful information about Tux Paint.

--version
Output the version info.

--verbose-version
Output the version info and compile-time build options.

--usage Display a list of all commandline options.

--copying
Show the license (GNU GPL) under which Tux Paint is released.

OPTIONS - INTERFACE
tuxpaint accepts the following options to alter the interface. They
can be used along with, instead of, or to override options set in
configuration files. (See below.)

VIDEO

--fullscreen=yes --fullscreen=native --fullscreen=no --windowed
Run Tux Paint in full-screen mode at its default -- or a
specified -- screen resolution ("--fullscreen=yes"); or in
full-screen mode at the system's native resolution
("--fullscreen=native"); or run in a window
("--fullscreen=no" or "--windowed") (default).

--native
When in fullscreen mode, use the system's default screen
resolution.

--WIDTHxHEIGHT
Run Tux Paint in a particularly-sized window, or at a
particular fullscreen resolution (if --native is not used).
Default is 800x600. Minimum width is 640. Minimum height is
480. Portrait and landscape orientations are both supported.
(Also see --orient, below.)

--orient=landscape --orient=portrait
If --orient=portrait is set, asks Tux Paint to swap the WIDTH
and HEIGHT values it uses for windowed or fullscreen mode,
without having to actually change the WIDTH and HEIGHT values
in the configuration file or on the command-line. (This is
useful on devices where the screen can be rotated, e.g.
tablet PCs.)

--allowscreensaver --disablescreensaver
Normally, tuxpaint disables your screensaver. Use
--allowscreensaver to prevent this from happening.

SOUND

--nosound --sound
Disable or enable (default) sound.

--nostereo --stereo
Disable or enable (default) stereo panning support.

INTERFACE SIZE

--buttonsize SIZE --buttonsize auto
Adjust the size of the buttons in Tux Paint's user interface,
between 24 and 192 pixels (48 is the default, and suitable
for displays with 96 to 120dpi pixel density). Use "auto" to
have Tux Paint choose a button size based on Tux Paint's
window/display size.

--colorsrows=ROWS
How many rows of color palette buttons to show; useful when
using a large color palette, and/or for use with coarse input
devices (like eyegaze trackers). It can be between 1
(default) and 3.

INTERFACE SIMPLIFICATION

--simpleshapes --complexshapes
Disable or enable (default) the rotation step when using the
Shape tool within Tux Paint. When disabled, shapes cannot be
rotated; however, the interface is easier (click, drag,
release), which can be useful for younger or disabled
children.

--nooutlines --outlines
With "--nooutlines" enabled, much simpler outlines and
'rubber-band' lines are displayed when using the Lines,
Shapes, Stamps and Eraser tools. (This can help when Tux
Paint is run on slower computers, or displayed on a remote
terminal.)

--uppercase --mixedcase
With "--uppercase" enabled, all text prompts and the Text and
Label drawing tools will display only uppercase letters.
This is useful for children who are not yet comfortable with
the lowercase characterset. Default mode is mixed case.

INITIAL STAMP SIZE

--stampsize=SIZE --stampsize=default
Overrides the default size of all stamps, relative to their
possible sizes (determined by Tux Paint, based on the
dimensions of both the stamps themselves, and the drawing
canvas). Valid values are from 0 (smallest) to 10 (largest).
Use "--stampsize=default" to let Tux Paint choose on a per-
stamp basis (this is the default setting).

STARTING OUT

--startblank --startlast
When you start Tux Paint, it loads the last image that was
being worked on.
The "--startblank" option disables this, so it always starts
with a blank canvas. The default behavior is "--startlast".

--newcolorslast --newcolorsfirst
List solid (blank) colors at the end, or beginning (default)
of the options displayed when using the New tool to start a
new picture.

CONTROL SIMPLIFICATION

--noquit --quit
Disable or enable (default) the on-screen Quit button and
[Escape] key for quitting Tux Paint. Instead, use the window
close button in the titlebar, the [Alt]+[F4] key sequence, or
the [Shift]+[Control]+[Escape] key sequence.

--nostamps --stamps
With "--nostamps" set, Rubber Stamp images are not loaded, so
the Stamps tool will not be available. This option can be
used to reduce the time Tux Paint takes to load, and reduce
the amount of RAM it requires.

--nostampcontrols --stampcontrols
Disable or enable (default) buttons to control stamps.
Controls include mirror, flip, shrink and grow. (Note: Not
all stamps will be controllable in all ways.)

--nostamprotation --stamprotation
Disable or enable (default) the rotation step when placing a
stamp in the drawing.

--nomagiccontrols --magiccontrols
Disable or enable (default) buttons to control Magic tools.
Controls include controlling whether a Magic tool is used
like a paint brush, or if it affects the entire image at
once. (Note: Not all Magic tools will be controllable.)

--nomagicsizes --magicsizes
Disable or enable (default) Magic size controls. (Note: Not
all Magic tools offer size controls.)

--noshapecontrols --shapecontrols
Disable or enable (default) buttons to change the Shape
tool's behavior -- shapes expanding from the center, or from
a corner, where the mouse is initially clicked.

--nolabel --label
Disable or enable (default) the Label tool, which lets you
create text which can be altered or moved later.

--nobrushspacing --brushspacing
Disable or enable (default) the brush spacing option of the
Paint and Lines tools, which allows you to override the
default spacing of a brush.

OPTIONS - CONTROLLING TUX PAINT
tuxpaint accepts the following options to alter how you control Tux
Paint. They can be used along with, instead of, or to override
options set in configuration files. (See below.)

CURSOR

--nofancycursors --fancycursors
Disable or enable (default) the 'fancy' mouse pointer shapes
in Tux Paint. While the shapes are larger, and context
sensitive, some environments have trouble displaying the
mouse pointer, and/or leave 'trails' on the screen.

--hidecursor --showcursor
Completely hide, or enable (default) the mouse pointer in Tux
Paint. This can be useful on touchscreen devices, such as
tablet PCs.

KEYBOARD

--noshortcuts --shortcuts
If "--noshortcuts" mode, keyboard shortcuts (e.g., [Ctrl]+[S]
for Save) will be disabled. Default mode is for shortcuts to
be enabled.

MOUSE AND ACCESSIBILITY

--grab --dontgrab
Grab the mouse and keyboard input (if possible), so that the
mouse is confined to the Tux Paint window. Default is to not
grab.

--nowheelmouse --wheelmouse
By default, the wheel (jog dial) on a mouse will be used to
scroll the completely ignored, with the "--nowheelmouse"
option. This is useful for children who aren't yet
comfortable with the mouse. Default is to support the wheel.

--mouse-accessibility
In this mode, instead of clicking, dragging and releasing
(e.g., to draw), you click, move, and click again to end the
motion. ("Sticky mouse clicks.")

--keyboard --mouse
The "--keyboard" option lets the mouse pointer in Tux Paint
be controlled with the keyboard. The [Up], [Down], [Left],
and [Right] arrow keys move the pointer. [Spacebar] acts as
the mouse button.

--nobuttondistinction --buttondistinction
By default, only mouse button #1 (typically the leftmost
mouse button on mice with more than one button) can be used
for interacting with Tux Paint.
With the "--nobuttondistinction" option, mouse buttons #2
(middle) and #3 (right) can be used, as well. This is useful
for children who aren't yet comfortable with the mouse.
Default is to only recognize button #1.

ONSCREEN KEYBOARD

--onscreen-keyboard
Presents a clickable on-screen keyboard when using the Text
and Label tools.

--onscreen-keyboard-layout LAYOUT
Specify the default layout for the on-screen keyboard (see
above).

--onscreen-keyboard-disable-change
Disables the left/right arrow buttons visible on the on-
screen keyboard, which are used to switch between the
available on-screen keyboard layouts.

JOYSTICK

--joystick-dev=DEVICE
Specify which joystick device should be used by Tux Paint.
Default value is 0 (the first joystick).

--joystick-dev=list
List the system's available joysticks and exit. (Does not
launch Tux Paint.)

--joystick-slowness=SPEED
Sets a delay at each axis motion, allowing to slow the
joystick. Allowed values are from 0 to 500. Default value is
15.

--joystick-threshold=THRESHOLD
Sets the minimum level of axis motion to start moving the
pointer. Allowed values are from 0 to 32766. Default value is
3200.

--joystick-maxsteps=STEPS
Sets the maximum pixels the pointer will move at once.
Allowed values are from 1 to 7. Default value is 7.

--joystick-hat-timeout=MILLISECONDS
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.

--joystick-hat-slowness=SPEED
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.

--joystick-btn-escape=BUTTON
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be used to generate a escape event. Useful to dismiss dialogs
and quit.

--joystick-btn-COMMAND=BUTTON
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcut to various tools within Tux Paint.

- brush | Paint
- stamp | Stamp
- lines | Lines
- shapes | Shapes
- text | Text
- label | Label
- magic | Magic
- undo | Undo
- redo | Redo
- eraser | Eraser
- new | New
- open | Open
- save | Save
- pgsetup | Print (dialog)
- print | Print (immediate)

--joystick-buttons-ignore=BUTTON1,BUTTON2,...
A set of joystick button numbers, as seen by SDL, that should
be ignored. Otherwise, unless they are used by one of the
"--joystick-btn-..." options above, buttons will be seen as a
mouse left-click. Comma-separated.

OPTIONS - PRINTING
tuxpaint accepts the following options to alter how Tux Paint handles
printing. They can be used along with, instead of, or to override
options set in configuration files. (See below.)

PRINT PERMISSIONS

--noprint --print
Disable or enable (default) the Print command within Tux
Paint.

--printdelay=SECONDS --printdelay=0
Only allow printing (via the Print command) once every
SECONDS seconds. Default is 0 (no limitation).

SHOW PRINTER DIALOG

--altprintmod --altprintnever --altprintalways
These options control whether an system printer dialog
appears when the user clicks the Print button. By default
("--altprintmod"), pressing [Alt] while clicking Print will
bring up a dialog (unless you're in fullscreen mode). With
"--altprintalways", the dialog will always appear, even if
[Alt] is not being held. With "--altprintnever", the dialog
will never appear, even if [Alt] is being held.

SAVE PRINTER CONFIGURATION

--printcfg --noprintcfg
(Windows and Mac OS X only.) Enable or disable loading and
saving of printer settings. By default, Tux Paint will print
to the default printer with default settings. Pressing [Alt]
while pushing the Print button will cause a printer dialog to
appear (as long as you're not in fullscreen mode; see also
"--altprintalways" and "--altprintnever", below.) Unless
"--noprintcfg" is used, your previous settings will be loaded
when Tux Paint starts up, and setting changes will be saved
for next time.

PRINT COMMANDS

--printcommand COMMAND
(Only when PostScript printing is used.) Have Tux Paint print
via an alternate command, rather than lpr(1).

--altprintcommand COMMAND
(Only when PostScript printing is used.) Have Tux Paint print
via an alternate command, when a dialog is expect (e.g., when
holding [Alt] while clicking Print; see above), rather than
kprinter.

PAPER SIZE

--papersize PAPERSIZE
(Only when PostScript printing is used.) Ask Tux Paint to
generate PostScript of a particular paper size. Valid sizes
are those supported by libpaper. See papersize(5).

OPTIONS - SAVING
tuxpaint accepts the following options to alter how Tux Paint
operates when saving or exporting drawings. They can be used along
with, instead of, or to override options set in configuration files.
(See below.)

SAVE OVER EARLIER WORK

--saveover --saveovernew --saveoverask
If, when saving a picture, an older version of the file will
be overwritten, Tux Paint will, by default, ask for
confirmation: either save over the old file, or create a new
file. This prompt can be disabled with "--saveover" (which
always saves over older versions of pictures) or
"--saveovernew" (which always saves a new file). The default
is to prompt ("--saveoverask").

SAVE AND EXPORT DIRECTORIES

--savedir DIR
Specify where Tux Paint should save and load its drawings.

--exportdir DIR
Specify where Tux Paint should export drawings and
animations.

MORE SAVING OPTIONS

--nosave --save
The --nosave option disables Tux Paint's ability to save
files. This can be used in situations where the program is
only being used for fun, or in a test environment.

--autosave --noautosave
The --autosave option prevents Tux Paint from asking whether
you want to save the current picture when quitting, and
assumes you do.

--reversesort --noautosave
The --reversesort option causes Tux Paint's Open and
Slideshow dialogs to display the oldest images at the top of
the list (normally the newest appear at the top, and the
oldest at the bottom.

OPTIONS - DATA FILES
tuxpaint accepts the following options to alter where Tux Paint loads
data (stamps, brushes, etc.) They can be used along with, instead
of, or to override options set in configuration files. (See below.)

--datadir DIR
Specify where Tux Paint should look for personal data files
(brushes, stamps, etc.).

--colorfile FILE
This option allows you to override the default color palette
in Tux Paint and replace it with your own. The file should be
a plain ASCII text file containing one color description per
line. Colors may be in decimal or 6- or 3-digit hexadecimal,
and followed by a description. (For example, "#000 Black" and
"255 192 64 Orange".)

OPTIONS - LANGUAGE
tuxpaint accepts the following options to alter the language used by
Tux Paint's interface, and other related settings. They can be used
along with, instead of, or to override options set in configuration
files. (See below.)

Various parts of Tux Paint have been translated into numerous
languages. Tux Paint will try its best to honor your locale setting
(i.e., the "LANG" environment variable), if possible. You can also
specifically set the language using options on the command-line or in
a configuration file.

--locale LOCALE
Specify the language to use, based on locale name (which is
typically of the form
"language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier], where "language"
is an ISO 639 language code, "territory" is an ISO 3166
country code, and "codeset" is a character set or encoding
identifier like "ISO-8859-1" or "UTF-8".)

For example, "de_DE@euro" for German, or "pt_BR" for Brazilian
Portuguese.

--lang LANGUAGE
Specify the language to use, based on the language's name (as
recognized by Tux Paint). Choose one of the language names
listed below:

- english | american-english
- acholi | acoli
- afrikaans
- akan | twi-fante

--lang help
Display a lists of all supported languages.

--mirrorstamps --dontmirrorstamps
With "--mirrorstamps" set, stamps which can be mirrored will
appear mirrored by default. This can be useful when used by
people who prefer things right-to-left over left-to-right.

FONTS

--nosysfonts --sysfonts
Tux Paint normally attempts to search for additional TrueType
Fonts installed in common places on your system. If this
causes trouble, or you'd prefer to only make fonts installed
in Tux Paint's directory available, use the "--nosysfonts"
option to disable this feature.

--alllocalefonts --currentlocalefont
Tux Paint avoids loading any fonts found in its "locale" font
subdirectory, except any that match the current locale Tux
Paint is running under. Use the "--alllocalefonts" option to
load all such fonts, for use in the Text and Label tools.
(This was the default behavior, prior to version 0.9.21.)

OPTIONS - MISCELLANEOUS
tuxpaint accepts the following options to alter its behavior. They
can be used along with, instead of, or to override options set in
configuration files. (See below.)

--nosysconfig
With this option, Tux Paint will not attempt to read the
system-wide configuration file (typically
"/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf" or
"/usr/local/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf").

--nolockfile
By default, Tux Paint uses a lockfile (stored in the user's
local Tux Paint directory) which prevents it from being
launched more than once in 30 seconds. (Sometimes children
get too eager, or user interfaces only require one click, but
users think they need to double-click.) This option makes Tux
Paint ignore the current lockfile.

ENVIRONMENT

While Tux Paint may refer to a number of environment variables
indirectly (e.g., via SDL(3)), it directly accesses the following:
(See "FILES" below, as well.)

HOME to determine where picture files go when using the Save and
Open commands within Tux Paint, to keep track of the current
image, when quitting and restarting Tux Paint, and to get the
user's configuration file.

LANG, LC_ALL, LANGUAGE, and LC_MESSAGES
to determine language to use, if setlocale(3) refers to
"LC_MESSAGES".

SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER
Set this environment variable to '1' to allow a screensaver
to appear while Tux Paint is running. This can also be done
via the "--allowscreensaver" option.

SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS
If this is NOT set, Tux Paint will set it to "center", to
attempt to place the Tux Paint window in the center of a
display. If it IS set (e.g., to "nopref", meaning "no
preference"), Tux Paint will not override it.

FILES

[/usr/local/]/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf
System-wide configuration file. It is read first (unless the
"--nosysconfig" option was given on the command-line).

(Created during installation.)

$HOME/.tuxpaintrc
User's configuration file. It can be used to set default
options (rather than setting them on the command-line every
time), and/or to override any settings in the system-wide
configuration file.

(Not created or edited automatically; must be created
manually. You can do this by hand, or use tuxpaint-
config(1).)

$HOME/.tuxpaint/saved/
A directory of previously-saved images (and thumbnails).
Only files in this directory will be made available using the
Open command within Tux Paint. Overridden via the
"--savedir" option.

(Created when Save command is used.)

$HOME/.tuxpaint/current_id.txt
A reference to the image which was being edited when Tux
Paint was last quit. (This image is automatically loaded the
next time Tux Paint is re-run, unless the "--startblank"
option is set.)

(Created when Tux Paint is Quit.)

$HOME/.tuxpaint/lockfile.dat
A lockfile that prevents Tux Paint from being launched more
than once every 30 seconds. Disable checking the lockfile by
using the "--nolockfile" option.

(There's no reason to delete the lockfile, as it contains a
timestamp inside which causes it to expire after 30 seconds.)

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME[XDG_PICTURES_DIR]/TuxPaint/
A directory where images and animations should be exported
(via options found in Tux Paint's Open dialog), if the
"--exportdir" option is not used to override it. If
"$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" is set, a configuration file "user-
dirs.dirs" will be scanned within the directory it points to;
if not, Tux Paint will attempt to do so within
"$HOME/.config/". If a setting named "XDG_PICTURES_DIR" is
found, it will be used as the location to export images. If
all else fails, then "$HOME/Pictures/" will be used. A
"TuxPaint" subdirectory will be created.

$XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash/ or $HOME/.local/share/Trash/
A directory where images are placed when the Erase option is
used from the Open dialog.
