(July 18, 2024; updated July 24, 2024) The Tux Paint Development Team is pleased to announce the release of Tux Paint version 0.9.33.

Filled Polygon and Dither Tools

A new Filled Polygon magic tool offers a way to create arbitrary filled polygonal shapes. Control points are shown, and may be adjusted prior to completing each shape.

A pair of Dither tools transform a drawing into a pattern of dots reminiscent of classic computer displays or other devices which can only show black and white.

Numerous images of a cartoon birthday cake. All but one has been transformed into dithered dot patterns.

Transparent Eraser

Expanding upon work done in Tux Paint 0.9.31 to add erasers with fuzzy edges, this release adds a set of fully transparent erasers. This allow partially exposing a background Starter or Template image (including those created within Tux Paint) for subtle fading or ghost effects.
