Tux Paint 0.9.18 - Update to Children's Art Software Adds Programmable Plug-in Support
(November 21, 2007) New Breed Software is proud to announce the release of version 0.9.18 of Tux Paint, the Open Source drawing program for children.
Tux Paint's new color picker. Over 50,000 colors are now a click away.
Tux Paint 0.9.18's color palette now includes a rainbow-colored button which brings up a color picker. And now, pictures can have any solid-colored background.
Tux Paint's new 'New' dialog, providing background color choices, along with 'Starter' template images.
Drawings can have any background color; 'Starter' templates have been moved from the 'Open' dialog.
"Magic" tools, the special effects in Tux Paint have been moved from the core of Tux Paint into "plug-ins" which are loaded into Tux Paint when it is launched. A programming interface has been developed and documented, allowing anyone to easily write new "Magic" tools for Tux Paint. One goal of this new capability is to turn Tux Paint into a platform for teaching computer graphics programming to novice programmers, such as high school students.
A drawing made using Tux Paint's new 'Light', 'Calligraphy', 'Flowers', 'Ripples' and 'Bubbles' Magic tools.
Writing new "Magic" tools for Tux Paint is now so much easier, a dozen new ones have been added, including a calligraphy brush that changes thickness depending on how fast you stroke, fun tools for adding flowers, foamy bubbles, and water ripples to pictures, a kaleidoscopic paint brush for drawing symmetric artwork, and a drawing tool that colors additively (like beams of light), rather than subtractively (like paint).
The powerful Pango text rendering system is now used on systems that support it, providing vastly improved display of complex languages such as Arabic and Telugu. This version also introduces new translations to Esperanto, Ojibway and Wolof. The latest version adds support for entering text in Thai and Traditional Chinese.
