Kolourpaint4 (Similar to MS Paint)

Purpose of Kolourpaint4

Kolourpaint4 is a simple Graphic editor (similar to MS Paint)... The main use of GIMP is for image retouching and editing, but is difficult to create simple images (eg. drawing a box, etc)...

I find Kolourpaint4 most similar to MS Paint (as opposed to gpaint) and recommend it for simple graphical creating and editing...

The Kolourpaint4 application has the following features:

• Select tools
• Choose foreground, background colour
• Draw line (various line widths, shift drag works same as in MS Paint)
• Brush
• Draw (Pencil)
• Colour Fill (bucket)
• Eraser
• Colour Eraser
• Text
• Rectangle (also rounded rectangle)
• Polygon
• Ellipse
• Connected Line
• Curve
