What is MacPaint + Source Code?

MacPaint® 2.0 is for creating pictures. It’s for professional artists, people who enjoy drawing, business people who need to spruce up reports with illustrations — even people who think they have no artistic skills. IPs for people who love to make pictures and anyone who needs an easy-to-use tool to sketch out ideas and plans.

With MacPaint, you can

• draw straight lines and round circles and create precise shapes and intricate patterns with ease
• add patterns to your pictures by “painting” with several sizes and shapes of brushes that you never have to clean
• select any part of a picture and move, duplicate, rotate, flip, stretch, shrink, or invert it
• add text to a picture in a variety of fonts, font sizes, and font styles
• move in for close-up views of a picture — as if you had a magnifying glass — so you can do detail work
• enjoy the freedom to experiment, try new effects, undo what you don’t like, create several versions of an idea, combine images from several different sources, and finally, put your work on paper when it’s just right
• create or edit pictures that you can “paste” into documents created with word processing or page-layout programs

As you create pictures with MacPaint, you may find MacPaint complements the artist in you by giving you an easy-to-use tool that produces good-looking results.
