NAME

       grafx2 - Ultimate 256-color bitmap paint program

SYNOPSIS

       grafx2 [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the grafx2 command.

       grafx2  is  a  bitmap  paint program that allows you to draw in more than 60 video resolutions, including
       most of the standard Amiga resolutions : 320x200, 320x256, 320x512,  640x256,  640x512,  etc...  provided
       your videocard knows how to handle them.

       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).

FILES

       User settings are stored in ~/.grafx2/gfx2.ini. This file is really meant to be edited by  the  user  and
       allows you to tweak many aspects of the program.

ENVIRONMENT

       Since  grafx2  uses  the  SDL  library for graphics and user input you can use control some of that parts
       using          the          SDL          environment           variables           described           at
       http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/Environment_variables
