-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
GrafX2 is a drawing program dedicated to pixelart and low-color graphics.
|
|
This program is dedicated to everybody who knows what a single pixel is.
|
|
Its layout is not very different from the famous Deluxe Paint or Brilliance, so
|
|
it will be quite easy to handle it if you know at least one of these programs.
|
|
If you aren't used to the art of drawing with up to 256 colors, it will be a
|
|
little more difficult for you, but you should give it a try (or more, because
|
|
most of the power of this program won't show up on the first try). Then, you
|
|
might eventually like to draw the oldskool way !
|
|
|
|
Grafx2 was originally written for the MS-DOS operating system. The authors
|
|
then released the sourcecode and we've modified it to run on your favorite
|
|
platform (if we missed it, please tell us !). Check the homepage at
|
|
http://code.google.com/p/grafx2 for latest news and bugfixed versions.
|
|
|
|
If you are in trouble when using the program, don't forget you can always press
|
|
the <F1> key inside it to get some help. You can also check the wiki at
|
|
http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/wiki for some more information.
|
|
If you've hidden the menu and you're stuck, press <F10> to show it again.
