1. What is KolourPaint?
|
||
|
|
=======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KolourPaint is a free, easy-to-use paint program for KDE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It aims to be conceptually simple to understand; providing a level of
|
||
|
|
functionality targeted towards the average user. It's designed for daily
|
||
|
|
tasks like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Painting - drawing diagrams and "finger painting"
|
||
|
|
* Image Manipulation - editing screenshots and photos; applying effects
|
||
|
|
* Icon Editing - drawing clipart and logos with transparency
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's not an unusable and monolithic program where simple tasks like drawing
|
||
|
|
lines become near impossible. Nor is it so simple that it lacks essential
|
||
|
|
features like Undo/Redo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KolourPaint is opensource software written in C++ using the Qt and KDE
|
||
|
|
libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
