[Tuxpaint-devel] Magic API updated: modes (paint vs. entire-image)

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

Tux Paint's Magic tools now have _modes() functions, which act
similar to the "_requires_colors()" function.  It tells Tux Paint what
mode(s) the tool can work in.

The current options are simply:

  MODE_PAINT
  MODE_FULLSCREEN

and, of course, both:

  MODE_PAINT | MODE_FULLSCREEN

Users are presented with two buttons, below the scroling list of tools,
one for each of these modes.  (One or the other appears greyed out if your
Magic tool only supports one mode.  "Flowers", for example, will only ever
do MODE_PAINT, I think.)

I expanded the "Negative" tool to utilize this new feature.
A number of other tools could benefit, too.


For simplifyng the UI for younger kids, you can use "--nomagiccontrols"
(or "nomagiccontrols=yes" in the config file.)

(I still need to add an option to control this feature in Tux Paint Config.)

It's in CVS.  Enjoy!
