1-Point, 2-Point, and 3-Point Perspective

• Three pairs of new tools provide ways to easily sketch drawings in Tux Paint using 1-, 2-, and 3-point perspective, as well as adjusting the different perspectives’ vanishing points. The drawing tools are similar to the Line tool, except only certain angles are possible, based on the position of the line relative to the vanishing points. For example, in 1- and 2-point perspective, lines may be drawn vertically and horizontally, but diagonally they must always be angled toward or away from the vanishing point(s).

Isometric, Dimetric, Trimetric, and Oblique

• Another new set of tools provide ways to sketch drawings in an isometric projection, plus two other orthographic projections, dimetric and trimetric, as well as oblique. For the latter three, it’s possible to adjust various drawing angles that each tool allows.

Epitrochoid and Hypotrochoid

• Two new tools have been added that draw “centered trochoid” curves — patterns created when one circle rolls around the inside or outside of another circle. The resulting shapes are similar to those created by devices such as the Spirograph. The radii of both circles, plus the position of the virtual pen relative to the moving circle, may all be adjusted.

Other Improvements

• A new “complexity” setting allows the user’s expertise level with Tux Paint (or computers in general) to dictate the complexity of certain Magic tools.
• Magic tools have been reorganized, and are no longer ordered by their localized names. This keeps related tools next to each other within each group of tools.
• Font face and size details are shown when using the Text and Label tools.
• Various bug fixes

Other improvements, bug fixes, and localization updates are also part of this release. Release notes for each component contain a complete list of changes.
