πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so real talk, this manual page is just a brief lil rundown of the mypaint command. that's it. that's the whole job. 🫢

mypaint is a pressure sensitive Wacom tablet paint program. periodt. πŸ’…

it ships with a large brush collection β€” we're talking charcoal and ink in there, emulating real media like it's nothing 😭 β€” but the highly configurable brush engine means you can also go absolutely feral and experiment with your own brushes and with some not-quite-natural painting. no cap, the engine is that flexible. πŸ”₯


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • -h, --help β€” shows this help message and then dips. bye bestie πŸ‘‹
  • -c /path/to/config, --config=/path/to/config β€” use this directory instead of ~/.mypaint/. yes, you get to pick where your config lives. iconic 🏠
  • -l FILE, --logfile=FILE β€” append python stdout and stderr to FILE. perfect for when you need receipts πŸ“
  • -t, --trace β€” print all executed python statements. all of them. every single one. she's chatty πŸ’€
