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
