Tools
At the moment, Babygimp provides the following drawing tools:
- Freehand drawing.
- Straight lines.
Since oblique lines may look poor in small images, you may also restrict
the line angle to multiples of 30 or 45 degrees.
- Empty and filled rectangles.
- Empty and filled ellipses.
- The spray tool. In connection with randomization and the gradient tool
this may be used in order to create textures. The following example
needed only one minute:

- The smoothing tool. This tool acts like freehand drawing. However,
instead of drawing it will will replace the pixel under the cursor by
some mean of the original color and the colors of the neighbour
pixel.
- Mapping colors and the floodfill tool as well as gradients and warping
are described in the next sections.
- Selecting Regions: This tool lets you select a recangular region of the
image which may be moved, copied to the clipboard or manipulated
otherwise. When you have selected a region, a menu will pop up which
shows all possibilities.
The usage of these tools should be quite obvious. All these tools except
smoothing respect the current drawing mode and
opacity.
In order to erase just set the drawing
mode to erase. Than you may erase lines, rectangles etc.
