The interface of YoupiPaint

Basic concepts

The application offers you a drawing surface materialized by the paper. You draw in layers: layers are layered one over another. By default, documents have only one layer, but you can add or remove layers at any time. Layers are displayed from the highest to the lowest. You can decide at any time to change the order of the layers.

The interface includes:

•1: The drawing area.

•2: A main toolbar for selecting tools such as the brush tool, the selection tool, the shape tool, and so on.

•3: Toolbars specific to each tool. They are displayed only when a specific tool is selected on the main toolbar.

•4: Panels:

oThe list of brushes

oThe settings of the brush in use

oThe color palette in use

oThe color selection panel

oThe history of the commands that were performed during the drawing session. These commands can be canceled.

oThe selection panel of an effect applicable to layers.

oThe animation mode panel

•5: The list of layers

Toolbars and panels can be attached or detached by drag and drop. You can position them according to your wishes. The position of the elements is memorized and will be restored at the next startup.

If you have multiple screens in your configuration, you can position the panels outside the main window.
