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
               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).

       --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.)

       --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.)

       --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.

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.

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:

       --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.
