NAME

       grafx2 - Ultimate 256-color bitmap paint program

SYNOPSIS

       grafx2 [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the grafx2 command.

       grafx2  is  a  bitmap  paint  program  that  allows  you  to  draw  in  more than 60 video
       resolutions, including most of the standard Amiga resolutions : 320x200, 320x256, 320x512,
       640x256, 640x512, etc... provided your videocard knows how to handle them.

       This program is dedicated to everybody who knows what a single pixel is. Its layout is not
       very different from the famous Deluxe Paint or Brilliance, so it will  be  quite  easy  to
       handle  it  if  you know at least one of these programs.  If you aren't used to the art of
       drawing with up to 256 colors, it will be a little more difficult for you, but you  should
       give  it  a  try  (or more, because most of the power of this program won't show up on the
       first try).

FILES

       User settings are stored in ~/.grafx2/gfx2.ini. This file is really meant to be edited  by
       the user and allows you to tweak many aspects of the program.

ENVIRONMENT

       Since  grafx2 uses the SDL library for graphics and user input you can use control some of
       that    parts     using     the     SDL     environment     variables     described     at
       http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/Environment_variables
