Tux Paint Description

Tux Paint is a free drawing program designed for young children

Simple Interface

* A number of useful drawing tools are made available. (See Drawing Tools, below.)
* The drawing canvas is a fixed size, so the user doesn’t need to worry about “pixels” or “inches” when making a new picture.
* The entire program fits on a screen as small as 640×480, and can be displayed full-screen, to hide the computer’s underlying “desktop” interface. (It defaults to 800×600 mode, but can run at larger sizes and in portrait or landscape mode, as well.)
* Loading and saving of images is done using thumbnails, so no knowledge of the underlying operating system’s filesystem structure is needed. Even filenames are unnecessary.

Entertaining Interface

* Fun sound effects are played when tools are selected and used.
* A cartoon version of Tux, the Linux penguin, appears at the bottom to give tips, hints and information.
