While waiting for 2.2.1 to release, learn theses new shortcuts for GRADIENT FILL:
SHIFT-F1 - Pattern
SHIFT-F2 - Solid
SHIFT-F3 - Circular
SHIFT-F4 - Vertical Fit
SHIFT-F5 - Linear
SHIFT-F6 - Horizontal Fit
SHIFT-F7 - Fit Both
SHIFT-F8 - Smooth
Now that we have plenty of *Fill Type* with options, we need a short key to quickly go back to a Solid fill.

Tuto pixel art : dégradés faciles !
We would like to set up a support forum for PyDPainter, for those who find GitHub daunting and who aren’t on Facebook.
- No installation required (we don’t have a server). No nerdy/techy*.
- Opensource software
- No recurring costs or monthly fees
- Low traffic
- Image hosting included (GIF, PNG, animated GIFs).
Any advice ?
* programmer is already busy on PydPainter updates.

TIP: I create the text on the spare screen (j) on a orange background. And then use it as a whole brush and draw it on every frame, using PageDown to go to next frame.
Replying to
@metin@graphics.social Oh, I see there are specific instruction for mac on installing.txt in the .zip archive.

TIPS: I use a Order: 5 Cyclic Symmetry to draw a star in 2 clicks with Line tool.
I use Tile Symmetry with a Width and Height a little larger to my Star brush to repeat the star as tiles.
I use an N Total of the number of frames (#22), with my star as Brush, Tiles on, with Animpainting on (ALT), to draw the animation from it's up right future position. It draw all the stars on all the frames moving up and right. Then I just have to delete the last frame (22) to turn the animation to a loop.

@LordCaramac@discordian.social can you send me screenshot of that brush container ? And will be interesting to see in the way it handle patterns too.
Replying to
@LordCaramac@discordian.social Thanks you ! As we don't know or have access to Promotion4.7. PydPainter will stay all in one screen program (nondetachable window)but there is some ideas to grab, maybe.

@Deivore@mastodon.gamedev.place I wasn't aware of this trick (Amiga guy here). Well as it all converted into 16M colors here I can't load it to check. Let's try visually.
