[Tuxpaint-users] Configure Size of Brushes?

[Mike K. <mi...@mz...>]

Hi all.

My now 5 year old and I are loving Tux. It’s Tux-riffic!

Searched the docs, which don’t seem terrible extensive, unless I’m missing something. Is there a way to change the size of the various brushes?

Thanks so much.

Peace.

Mike

[Tuxpaint-users] About Tux Paint on Android

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

For folks interested in Tux Paint on Android devices (phones/tablets),
we've got some good news!

(1) A developer named Jianwei has joined the Tux Paint project, and is 
actively working on adding Android support to the official Tux Paint 
codebase!  (See discussion over on our 'tuxpaint-devel' mailing list.)

(2) Separately, just today, I discovered that another person, Mark Tu, 
has built and released (to the Google Play store) an Android port of the 
latest release of Tux Paint (0.9.23).  It's free, though 
advertising-supported.  (Since it's Mark's release, I'm presuming he's 
receiving the revenue, which is fine with me, and fine under the GNU 
General Public License (GPL) under which Tux Paint is released.)

You can see it on the web here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happymobile.tuxpaint

I've asked Mark to work with Jianwei and the other fine folks who have 
been helping me maintain Tux Paint, to get his Android-specific changes 
included in the main codebase, so that the code remains in one 
centralized place (vs. fragmenting).

Doing it this way will help the Android version keep up-to-date with 
developments (enhancements, bug fixes, new features, etc.), just like we 
currently do with the Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X versions!
(And eventually I'm hoping to see Google ChromeOS and Apple iOS 
(iPhone/iPad) supported, as well!)

Thanks & enjoy!  I hope it works well for you.  (I tried the June 1
version on my Nexus 5 phone (Android 5.1.1, worked great!) and my wife's
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 talblet (Android 4.1.2, had some issues), and
reported back to Mark with the results.)

Re: [Tuxpaint-users] Hello from Tamarind Tree, India

[Michelle <mic...@ta...>]

Hello Bill,

Such a pleasure to hear from you.

We are constantly looking for volunteers and interns who understand 
systems and open source software given the lack of skilled human 
resources in my village in India. We have set up our learning system on 
Moodle and are now populating courses on it. This is at 
www.tamarindtree.org.in

So if you know people willing to help us both online and coming here for 
a couple of months in India, let me  know. We are located on a farm in 
rural india and it can be a lovely experience.

Thanks,
Michelle

Congratulations Michelle.

It would be nice if you could share some of the pictures in any online
website, maybe some comments could also be added about the use of TuxPaint
and the other open-source tools you are using. ¿Maybe a blog?
.
It woudl be the kind of links I would be happy to share in a tweet or in a
FB comment... :-)

[Tuxpaint-users] Hello from Tamarind Tree, India

[Michelle <mic...@ta...>]

hello,

Greetings from India! Wanted to share our successful and regular use of 
Tux Paint with tribal (indigenous) children - all first generation 
learners at our school - Tamarind Tree in a small village in north west 
Maharashtra. (www.tamarindtree.org)

Our machines are on Ubuntu 14.4 and the Tux Paint version is 0.9.21.

We have children from ages 3-10 and are using it across these ages to 
create pictures, write words associated with a picture, make sentences, 
and learn shapes.
I am looking to share more ideas of how best we can use it for our 
teachers.

Our school is an experiment in equity and using open source tools is 
ingrained in our philosophy for a better world. I really appreciate the 
work done on Tux Paint and I am sure all you developers would be 
thrilled and happy to see underprivileged tribal children half way 
across the world using and enjoying your work. So really a big thank you 
for Tux Paint.

Look forward to getting ideas from this forum,

[Tuxpaint-users] tuxtype osx macports failed install

[Abigail A. <ma...@ai...>]

Love your programs.  My kids are using and loving tuxmath via macports.  I went to sudo port install tuxtype, but the install in macports seems to be broken some how.  Odd since the tux math worked fine.  I didn’t get much in the way of information about why it failed…sorry.  If it had provided a listing, I would put it here.

Thanks.

Hi Laurie - Generally speaking, stamps in Tux Paint are simply PNG (bitmap)
or SVG (vector) image files, stored in a particular (set of) place(s) where
Tux Paint knows to look for them.

The "Extending Tux Paint" documentation talks about where things go and
how to format them:

  http://tuxpaint.org/docs/html/EXTENDING.html


The quick answer, assuming you're on a Windows system, though, your
best bet is to take a peek in this folder:

  C:\Program Files\TuxPaint\data


Good luck, and let us know if you need more help!

Hi Joe,

Thank you for answering my question. So, I know about the gallery, but that
was not my question.

But now I might have the correct e-mail list. It think it is the *stamps-

those other email lists, so thank you.

Hi Ann - Yes, they'll be available when the new versions of Tux Paint &
the Stamps collection are built for Mac -- it hasn't happened yet, though.

In the meantime, it might be possible to download the "ZIP" version for
Windows, unzip it on a Mac, and place the stamps in a folder for
Tux Paint to find them.

Here's where to download it:

  http://www.tuxpaint.org/download/windows-zip/


This document explains where Stamps (and other kinds of content) can
be placed for Tux Paint to find them:

http://tuxpaint.org/docs/html/EXTENDING.html

On Mac, you could try:

    /Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/   (for system-wide)
or  /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/
    (for a specific user)

Good luck!

Hi Angie, sorry for the delay,

Some questions:
Where did you downloaded tuxpaint, from the official site? tuxpaint.org
or did you get from somewhere else?

Did tuxpaint 0.9.22 worked before in that computer and now it crashes or
it has never run on it? 


Also, tuxpaint should write a couple of files on your computer:
stderr.txt and stdout.txt Could you search them and post here, please?

Other things you could test to see it they help (configurable in
tuxpaint-config):
start tuxpaint with a blank image
disable sound
disable label tool
swap fullscreen<->windowed

Hope this helps

Announcing Tux Paint 0.9.22

Open Source drawing software for children boasts new tools, more

(Davis, USA, CA August 23, 2014)  The Tux Paint development team is

support for SVG and KidPix templates, and an enhanced text tool.  It also
features accessibility improvements, including keyboard and joystick pointer

around the world.  Version 0.9.22 is no exception, incorporating translations
to 32 new languages: six from Europe (Aragones, Bosnian, Luxembourgish,
Serbian, Valencian, and Venetian), over a dozen from the Indian continent
(Assamese, Kannada, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali,
Odia, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santali, and Sinhala), nine from Africa (Acholi,
Akan, Amharic, Bambara, Fula, Kiga, Luganda, Northern Sotho, Sudanese,
and Zulu), as well as Armenian, Persian, Sundanese, and the Canadian Inuit
language of Inuktitut.  Updates were also made to the 90 languages Tux Paint
already supported.

Tux Paint is available for download free of charge from the project's
website at http://www.tuxpaint.org/

Version 0.9.22 is currently available for Microsoft Windows, Red Hat
Linux, Fedora Linux, and as source code.  Updates for Apple Mac OS X,
Debian Linux, and Ubuntu are in development.

Re: [Tuxpaint-users] Tux Paint 0.9.22 beta versions for Windows & RPM-based Linux

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

Hi everyone!  TOYAMA Shin-Ichi was kind enough to build a
release-candidate of the next Tux Paint, for Windows and Linux (RPM-based).

Please download it, and try it out!  See below for an earlier email regarding
a beta version, which describes a lot of the new features.  Let us know
if you have any problems!

Note that the stamp builds available at the URLs below
are from a few months ago, so won't include any recent translation
updates.  (Shin-Ichi, if you'd be willing to make new stamps releases,
that would be handy for testing by translators!)

Thanks and enjoy!

-bill!

[Tuxpaint-users] Tux Paint 0.9.22 beta versions for Windows & RPM-based Linux

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

A new version of Tux Paint will be released later this year.
In the meantime, if you're using Windows 8, 7 or Vista, or
an RPM-based Linux distro (like RedHat or Fedora),
or you're comfortable building software from its source-code,
you can download a beta version NOW!

All we ask in return is that you give us your feedback.  You'll help
us ensure that the next release of Tux Paint is as close to perfect
and bug-free as we can make it.

  Windows:
  ftp://ftp.tuxpaint.org/unix/x/tuxpaint/testbuilds/win32/0.9.22-pre/

  Linux (RPM):
  ftp://ftp.tuxpaint.org/unix/x/tuxpaint/testbuilds/rpm/0.9.22-pre/

  Source (from the repository):
  http://www.tuxpaint.org/download/source/cvs/


New features to try out:
 * The "Label" tool, for adding text to a picture that can be altered
   after the fact.
 * New "Magic" tools:
   * Blinds
   * Mosaic Hexagon, Mosaic Irregular, and Mosaic Square
   * Pattern
   * Perspective
   * Puzzle
   * ROYGBIV Rainbow
   * Symmetry Left/Right, and Symmetry Up/Down
   * Tiles
   * Wet Paint
   * XOR Colors
   * Zoom
 * Templates -- similar to Starters, but with no immutable top layer.
 * Starters (and Templates) can be in Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG)
   or KidPix Templat (PKX) formats.

Accessibility Improvements:
 * "Mouse accessibility" option, to allow clicking once to act as
   a click-and-drag action
 * On screen keyboard, for Text and Label tools
 * Keyboard-based mouse controls (arrow keys to move)
 * Joystick-based mouse controls

Other changes:
 * Deleting files from Tux Paint's "Open Dialog" moves them to the
   desktop's trashcan (Linux only)
 * Tux Paint remains responsive when FontConfig is busy generating
   a cache (e.g., the first time you run Tux Paint)
   (This was already included in a later version of 0.9.21 for Windows)
 * Thumbnails for "Starter" images are cached, to speed up opening the
   "New" dialog.
 * All thumbnails are gamma-corrected.
 * SVG-based stamps don't default to a huge size.
 * Tux Paint drawing metadata is now stored within PNGs, rather than

   Sanskrit, Santali, Serbia, Venetian, Zulu
 * Numerous updates to existing translations

For the complete list of changes (so far!), see:
http://tuxpaint.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint/docs/CHANGES.txt

And, of course, try out all of your favorite, tried-and-true features
of Tux Paint, to make sure they still work the way you expect them!


If you're counting on Tux Paint being stable, and keeping younger
users happy, you should stick to the latest official release,
of course.

Thanks in advance!


And thanks to all of the contributors to Tux Paint over the years
(especially the last 5 years, since we last made an official release).
Special thanks to TOYAMA Shin-Ichi for producing the beta builds.

Re: [Tuxpaint-users] writing text in Hebrew

[Melina D. <dm...@gm...>]

Hi Pere,
Sorry for not being more specific.
Yes, I'm using windows 7 64bit, and have the latest official tux paint
version 0.9.21c.

I tried changing the SDL.dll file as instructed in the first link you
provided but it doesn't work.

tried installing almost everything from the bottom up in the second link
and was about to give up but in beta02 the Hebrew font works! And also
seems to deal with left-to-right issues.
Thank you.
Melina
