Name	Gpaint
Short description	Gpaint is a small, easy-to-use paint program for GNOME.
Full description	Gpaint is a small, easy-to-use paint program for GNOME. It features drawing tools (ovals, freehand, polygon, and text, with fill or shallow for polygons and closed freehand), the ability to cut and paste by selecting irregular regions or polygons, print support using gnome-print, a modern, easy-to-use user interface with tool and color palettes, the ability to edit multiple images at the same time with running multiple sessions of gpaint, and all the image processing features present in xpaint. 'gpaint' is still in progress; while currently usable for simple image editing, the author hopes in the future to implement a zoom in/out function, scaling and rotation, and to turn the program into a Bonobo component.
