Imiganga ephindaphindiwe

Tux Paint works on Windows (Windows 7 through Windows 11), macOS (10.10 Yosemite and up), Android (including Chromebooks), Linux, and Haiku OS.

Ukusebenzisana okulula

Amathuluzi ambalwa abalulekile wokudweba ayatholakala. (bona amathuluzi okudweba, ngezansi)
Indwangu lapho kudwetshelwa khona ubukhulu bayo bulungisiwe, ngokho-ke umsebenzisi akudingekile ukuba akhathazeke ngama-'pixels' noma ama-'intshi' uma enza isithombe esisha.
Uhlelo lonke lulingana isibonisi ngobuncane obungu-640x480, futhi lungabukiswa isibonisi esigcwele ukufihla okunye ukusebenzisana (interface) esibonisini. (umkhuba wokwakhona ungafika ku-800x600, kodwa ingasebenza emasayizini amakhudlwana nasemkhubeni wesithombe-khanda (portrait) noma i-landscape, futhi)
Ukufakwa nokugcinwa kwezithombe kwanziwa ngokusebenzisa izithonjana (thumbnails), ngakho-ke alukho ulwazi lohlelo olusebenzayo(OS) lwezakhiwo zamahlelo wamafayela oludingekayo. Ngisho namagama wamafayela akabalulekanga.

Faka umbalo ngezilimi ezahlukahlukene usebenzise ithuluzi lokubhala:

Accessibility

Tux Paint provides a number of optional accessibiltiy enhancements, to help make the program more suitable in some circumstances.

Izilawuli zabazali nothisha

Run Tux Paint in full-screen mode, or have it 'grab' the mouse pointer, to prevent children from accidentally accessing other programs or files on the desktop.
Sound effects can be deactivated.
The Print and Quit options can be deactivated.
Alternatively, the Print option can be limited to allow only one print every n minutes.
By default, Tux Paint cannot be launched more than once every 30 seconds, to prevent multiple copies from being run accidentally, due to over-eager mouse clicking.
The directories/folders where Tux Paint saves and/or exports files may be changed. This can allow saving pictures in a student's home directory on a network drive or shared drive, rather than locally on one particular workstation.
Izitembu, kokuqala namabhlashi kulondoloziwe kusetshenziswa izakhiwo zokuvula (PNG, SVG, Ogg Vorbis, njl.) ukuvumela abazali nothisha ukuba bazidalele kwabo okuqukethwe ukuze bakusebenzise emakhaya noma emaklasini - noma kusetshenziswa amathuluzi wamahhala nje.
Izimiso zohlelo lwe-Tux Paint zivumela abazali, othisha, nabanye osolwazi besikole ukuba bashintshe ukusebenza kwe-Tux Paint basebenzise ukusebenzisana okusetshenziswa kalula (simple, easy-to-use graphical interface). (Kayihlangene ne-Tux Paint, ukuvikela izingane ukuba zingashintshi izinto)
... nokuningi!

🐻 Feature may be simplified or deactivated, simplifying Tux Paint to increase accessibility (e.g., for novice users).

Ubuwazi? Tux Paint runs right on your computer, and doesn't require Internet access.
