# gsumi(1)

pressure sensitive "ink" drawing

## NAME

gsumi - pressure sensitive "ink" drawing

## SYNOPSIS

**gsumi** \[options\]\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **gsumi** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

**gsumi** allows drawing in black (pen) or white (eraser) on a high resolution bitmap which is filtered down to screen resolution. XInput devices can be used (with pressure support), and different tools and tool properties can be assigned to each device.

## OPTIONS

The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (\`-'). A summary of options are included below.

- **-h, --help**

  Show summary of options.

- **-v, --version**

  Show version of program.

- **-n --num-grays NUM**

  Number of gray levels
