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.
--nobrushspacing --brushspacing
Disable or enable (default) the brush spacing option of the Paint and Lines tools, which allows
you to override the default spacing of a brush.
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.
--reversesort --noautosave
The --reversesort option causes Tux Paint's Open and Slideshow dialogs to display the oldest
images at the top of the list (normally the newest appear at the top, and the oldest at the
bottom.
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:
- english | american-english
- acholi | acoli
- afrikaans
- akan | twi-fante

--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.
