Other brushes are directional - they will draw a different shape depending on what direction you are painting with them. These brushes will have a small "filmstrip" icon drawn on their Selector buttons. A good example of this is the vines brush that ships with Tux Paint. Some brushes are animated - they change their shape as you draw them. If you hold the mouse button down, and move the mouse, it will draw as you move. The Paint Brush tool lets you draw freehand, using various brushes (chosen in the Selector on the right) and colors (chosen in the Color palette towards the bottom). Simply double-click the " Tux Paint" icon. If you used the 'ZIP-file' download, Tux Paint's folder will be wherever you extracted the contents of the ZIP file. If you're using the 'portable' (ZIP-file) version of Tux Paint, or if you used the 'Tux Paint Installer,' but chose not to have shortcuts installed, you'll need to double-click the " tuxpaint.exe" icon in the " Tux Paint" folder on your computer.īy default, the 'Tux Paint Installer' will put Tux Paint's folder in " C:\Program Files\", though you may have changed this when you ran the installer. If you agreed, you can simply run Tux Paint from the 'Tux Paint' section of your 'Start' menu (e.g., under 'All Programs'), or by double-clicking the 'Tux Paint' icon on your desktop, if you had the installer place one there. 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 any errors occur, they will be displayed on the terminal (to STDERR).
