DESCRIPTION

       tuxpaint-import  is a simple shell script which uses some NetPBM (pnm(5)) tools (anytopnm,
       pnmscale and pnmtopng) along with date(1) to convert an  arbitrary  image  file  (e.g.,  a
       JPEG,  GIF,  etc.)  into  a PNG(5) file which can be used by the drawing program Tux Paint
       (tuxpaint(1))  and  places  it   in   the   user's   Tux   Paint   saved-files   directory
       ($HOME/.tuxpaint/saved/).

EXAMPLE

       tuxpaint-import picture.jpg photo.png cartoon.gif

ENVIRONMENT

               using its Open command.

FILES

       $HOME/.tuxpaint/saved
               where new image files are stored, after  being  resized  and  converted  into  PNG
               format.
