Tux Paint Developer List

   I am developing starters for kids to practice matte painting for motion
pictures using Tux Paint (on the Macintosh).  I find that some of the
information on the page "Extending Tux Paint" is incomplete or wrong.

   By measuring, I find that:

Wide view:
1. For the Tux Paint mode set to 640 by 480, the Tux Paint canvas is 448 by
376 pixels.

2. For the Tux Paint mode set to 800 by 600, the Tux Paint canvas is 608 by
472 pixels. (This is NOT 608 by 496 as listed in the "Extended Tux Paint"
info page for the correct canvas size for starters.)

3. For the Tux Paint mode set to 1024 by 768, the Tux Paint canvas is 832 by
664 pixels.

4. For the Tux Paint mode set to 1280 by 1024, the Tux Paint canvas is 1088
by 904 pixels.

5. For the Tux Paint mode set to 1400 by 1050, the Tux Paint canvas is 1208
by 904 pixels. (I am not sure why the Macintosh came up with such an odd
size.  Maybe my screen was too small.)

6. For the Tux Paint mode set to 1600 by 1200, the Tux Paint canvas is 1408
by 1096 pixels.

Portrait view:
1. For the Tux Paint mode set to 768 by 1024, the Tux Paint canvas is 576 by
904 pixels.

2. For the Tux Paint mode set to 1024 by 1280, the Tux Paint canvas is 832
by 1144 pixels.

   Please tell me if this is correct before I create starters at these
sizes. And if this info is correct, it should be added to the "Extending Tux
Paint" info page for people who want to create starters.

   Note:  Both Tux Farmer and Nagasaki starters are off by at least one
pixel in size.
