     TWID(9.6)                                               TWID(9.6)

     NAME
          twid - dabble in oils

     SYNOPSIS
          twid

     DESCRIPTION
          Twid is an oil paint program for bitmaps.  Button 3 presents
          a palette (menus of paints are unappetizing), and buttons 1
          and 2 apply paint.

          The palette contains a list of names of subpalettes.  After
          making a selection, depress again to display the subpalette.
          The palette names are:

          style
               Choose drawing style: ink (Rembrandt), point (Seurat),
               line (Mondrian), curve (Matisse) and disk (Disney).

          texture
               selects a texture (paint) to be applied with the brush.
               The default set of textures is sufficient for Lichten-
               stein.  Use the <new> button to create new ones: use
               button 1 (2) to select the area under the cursor (its
               bitwise complement), and type a name for twid to call
               it.

          brush
               selects the brush size and shape.  Predefined brushes
               are square, for effects ranging from Dali to Van Gogh;
               to be more modern use <new> (again, you must name the
               new brush).

          buttons
               By default, button 1 puts paint down and button 2 picks
               it up again.  This palette lets you change that behav-
               ior.

          copy provides commands for moving and rotating sections of
               the picture.

          unix offers commands for reading and writing files, and
               exiting.

          The current style, texture and brush are indicated in their
          palettes by an asterisk `*'.

     BUGS
          Green is not the color of choice for oils.
          Jackson Pollocks are time consuming.
