Tux Paint is a free, prize-winning drawing application for children aged 3 to 12 (kindergarten and K-6). Tux Paint is used in schools all over the world as a drawing activity for computer skills. It has an easy-to-use interface that is combined with fun sound effects and an encouraging cartoon mascot named Tux that appears at the bottom of the screen to provide tips, hints, and information to guide children through the use of the application.
To start with, children receive a blank canvas and various tools to be creative. The drawing tools are made available on the drawing paper and are easily accessible. The canvas has a fixed size, so you don’t have to worry about ‘pixels’ or ‘inches’ when you take a new photo. The entire program fits on a screen as small as 640×480 and can be displayed in full screen to mask the underlying ‘desktop’ interface of the computer.
What is the stander size of Tux Paint?
(The 800×600 mode is used as standard, but can also be executed in larger formats and in portrait or landscape mode.)
A simple thumbnail is used for loading and saving images, so no knowledge of the structure of the file system is required. Even file names are unnecessary. The interface is both entertaining and convenient for children to use. It is also configurable and options for sound effects, printing, and stop can be disabled. Tux Paint offers huge support in multiple languages, with parts of Tux Paint translated into 129 languages
