                              XPAINT 2.0 Beta 2



        Welcome to the current release of XPaint 2.0.  What does XPaint do
for you?  Why many wonderful things of course.  XPaint is a reasonably 
versitile bitmap/pixmap editing tool.  XPaint came out of a problem editing
some very large bitmap, and wanting more functionality then was provided
by bitmap, after XPaint 1.0 sat around for a LONG time, I finally ended up
with a strong need to edit color pixmaps.  Presto, this is what has appeared
from that problem.

XPaint is able to read X11 Bitmap's and the PNM format from the PBMPLUS 
toolkit (which is available in many archives near you).

There is one REQURIREMENT, which is that you have a compiler that
understands void* and prototypes.

Features XPaint provides:
        Usual paint operations:
                Brushes, Erasers, Spray paint, Pencil
                Lines, Arcs, Pattern Fill, Text,
                Boxes, Circles, Polygons.
        Works on multiple images simultaniously.
        Cut/Copy/Paste between all active images.
        Fatbits on the image windows.

And now the ToDo list to provide you with some insite into where XPaint
is going for it's final release.

TODO List:
        ** Documentation **
        Imakefile
        Document the Operation functionality
        Patterns should support grabbing from enviornment
        Patterns should be able to be read/written
        Line style should be selectable better than the menu
        other -
                spay edit should work, along with brush edit should
                be implemented
        font should be selectable much easier.
        Colormaps and 24 bit images need to be done better
        Paste needs to be "better"
        Fatbits & Pattern's needs cut/copy/paste

Hope you find this useful,
