What are "starters" in Tux Paint?

 * Tux Paint is a paint program. To make it fun and easy for kids to use, Tux Paint has pages which are ready to paint.  These are in a folder called "starters".  Put a PNG file into the starters folder and it becomes a page that kids can open and paint on.  No matter what size these pages are, they will be expanded and shrunk proportionally to fit one dimension and the boarder pixels will be stretched to fill in the blank area.


 * These start pages can be very complex. They can have areas which are protected and areas which are not protected.  That way they can have artwork which remains while the kids draw and they have other artwork that the kids erase as they draw.  This is done with an alpha channel of the starter page.  White means protection and blank means that the paint will stick to the canvas.
