Overview of Paint
Paint is a graphics program that lets you create simple
pictures, including sketches, illustrations, or maps. You can
choose from an assortment of art tools to create and enhance
your pictures.
If you have a color monitor, you can choose colors from a
color palette.
The Paint program can save your pictures for later use, print
them on different kinds of printers, or copy them to other
applications. You can also project these pictures on your
workstation screen with the CDA Viewer.
