GPAINT(1) — like, the whole vibe ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual entry for gpaint, section 1, main character energy only 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

gpaint — a small, easy to use paint program for GNOME 🎨✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gpaint [filename]...

so you can just pass it a bunch of *filename*s, one after another, and it'll take them. iconic behaviour honestly.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This manual page briefly documents gpaint (GNU Paint), a small-scale painting program for GNOME, the GNU Desktop Environment. And listen — gpaint is not trying to compete with GIMP, okay?? it's not in its GIMP era. it is just a simple drawing package based on xpaint, along the lines of 'Paintbrush' from a popular non-free operating system. no cap.

Also real talk: gpaint is still work in progress and many features are still being developed. 🚧 But like, it is usable and useful for simple image editing tasks, so don't count her out fr fr.

🎀 FEATURES 🎀

Currently gpaint has the following features:

  • Drawing tools such as ovals, freehand, polygon and text, with fill or shadow for polygons and closed freehand shapes. 🖌️
  • Cut and paste by selecting irregular regions or polygons. ✂️
  • Preliminary print support using gnome-print. 🖨️
  • Modern, easy to use user interface with tool and color palettes. 👑
  • Multiple-image editing in a single instance of the program. 🫶
  • All the image processing features present in xpaint. 🔥

🌈 TODO 🌈

Future plans include the implementation of zooming in/out, image scaling/rotation, and turning gpaint into a Bonobo component for simple image editing tasks inside other programs. she's got goals, she's got dreams, we love to see it 💜
