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 resolu-
       tions : 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 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
