MyPaint

Build Status

MyPaint is a simple drawing and painting program that works well with Wacom-style graphics tablets. Its main features are a highly configurable brush engine, speed, and a fullscreen mode which allows artists to fully immerse themselves in their work.

MyPaint is written in Python, C++, and C. It makes use of the GTK toolkit, version 3.x. The source is maintained using git, primarily on Github.

Getting started

MyPaint has an associated library, libmypaint, which is distributed as a sister project on Github. If you fetch the application's source with git, this dependency will be fetched automatically by the commands below as a relative submodule. There are several third-party dependencies too:

  • scons (>= 2.1.0)
  • pygobject
  • gtk3 (>= 3.10)
  • python (= 2.7) (OSX: python >= 2.7.4)
  • swig
  • numpy
  • pycairo (>= 1.4)
  • libpng
  • lcms2
  • libjson-c (>= 0.11, but the older "libjson" name at ~0.10 will work too)
  • librsvg

Recommended: a pressure sensitive input device (graphic tablet)

Build and Install

All systems differ. The basic build documentation is divided by broad class of operating system and software distribution.
