File Toolbar

The file toolbar has the following options:

  • New: Start a new drawing.

  • Save: Save your image as a PNG file.

You can also use the file toolbar to undo and redo your actions, and zoom in and out of the image.

Drawing Toolbar

The drawing toolbar has the following options:

  • Paint Tool: The current drawing tool. When this is selected you can click on it again to change to a different drawing tool.
  • Pan Tool: This lets you move the drawing canvas around if it is not all visible at once, for example when you are zoomed in.
  • Brush Size: The size of the brush. You can change this by moving the bar on the slider.

Drawing Tools

  • Pain Brush: A textured brush that simulates the look of real paint.
  • Spray Can: A splattery spray of colour that changes sizes as you move. The faster you move the smaller the area covered.
