rgbPaint is a very basic GTK+2.6 (or later) based program designed for editing pixel based images. It is a fork of mtPaint 3.09.  It can only edit and save RGB images to PNG, JPEG, or ICO files.  It can read PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, ICO, files and possibly others like TGA, PCX, and SVG if they are installed with your version of GTK+2.

TIPS
----

Pressing Ctrl and pressing a mouse button on the canvas selects the colour underneath the pointer.
Clicking on the current colour button above the palette, you can edit the palette.
You can rename and delete files by using the open image icon dialog.
The arrow keys move the mouse pointer, and enter acts as a brush or commit for the paste.
Keys 0-9 are shortcuts for zooming, with '+' and '-' zooming in and out.
By default 32MB is used for undo, this can be changed from the command line by using "rgbpaint -u 16" which changes the limit to 16MB.
You can crop an image to the current selection by pressing the delete key.
Changing the current colour while pasting text changes the colour of the text.
Pressing the 'Q' key quits rgbPaint.



-----------
Compilation
-----------

In order to compile rgbPaint on a GNU/Linux system you will need to have the libraries and headers for GTK+2.6 (or later).  If you want to compile the international version you will need to have the gettext system and headers installed.  You may then adjust the Makefile/sources to cater for your needs and then:

./configure
make
su -c "make install"

If you want to uninstall these files from your system, you should type:

su -c "make uninstall"

There are various configure options that may be useful for some people.  Use "./configure --help" to find out what options are available.
