However, gpaint is usable and useful for simple image editing tasks. ## FEATURES Currently gpaint has the following features: - \* Drawing tools such as ovals, freehand, polygon and text, with fill or shadow for polygons and closed freehand shapes. - \* Cut and paste by selecting irregular regions or polygons. - \* Preliminary print support using gnome-print. - \* Modern, easy to use user interface with tool and color palettes. - \* Multiple-image editing in a single instance of the program. - \* All the image processing features present in xpaint. ## TODO Future plans include the implementation of zooming in/out, image scaling/rotation, and turning gpaint into a Bonobo component for simple image editing tasks inside other programs. ## BUGS For bugs or general comments you can send mail to the developers list \, or you can enter a bug into the Debian Bug Tracking system. Details of how to use this system can be found on http://bugs.debian.org/. ## SEE-ALSO **X (1), gnome (1)** ## AUTHOR This manual page was written by Stephen Stafford \, for the Debian GNU/Linux system, but may be used by others.
