tuxpaint -- "Tux Paint", a drawing program for young children.
tuxpaint [--help --version --verbose-version --usage --copying]
Tux Paint is a drawing program for young children. It is meant to be easy and fun to use. It provides a simple interface and fixed canvas size, and provides access to previous images using a thumbnail browser (i.e., no access to the underlying filesystem).
Unlike popular drawing programs like "The GIMP," it has a very limited toolset. However, it provides a much simpler interface, and has entertaining, child-oriented additions such as sound effects.
tuxpaint accepts the following options to emit information about the program. It then exits immediately (without opening a graphical window).
