Tools Window | Retro Sketch Documentation

The tools window gives access to tools both canvas manipulation tools (like brush, fill, and erase), but also extra functionality (like center, export, and import image).

Brush - The brush tool allows you to paint any color pixels directly onto the canvas on the current layer you are on.

Center canvas - The center canvas button centers the current animation frame on the screen, doing any scaling needed to make the canvas fit.

Color picker - The color picker allows you to select any color you wish by either directly picking the color, inputting in the RGB values, or even inputting the HEX code for your color.

Color sampler - The color sampler allows you to select any color that is under your cursor on the canvas. Once selected, it swaps back to the previous tool to keep the action going.

Color swap - The color swap allows you to paint all of the matching colors on the current layer with the current selected color.

Eraser - The eraser is like the brush but erases instead.

Flood fill - The flood fill allows you to fill an area of pixels that are the same color to the currently selected color.

Nudge - The nudge tool allows you to move around the layer or the selection within a layer and have it wrap around the boarders.

Select - The select tool allows you to select an area on the layer to draw within or manipulate.

Shapes - The various shapes allow you to draw simple shapes like lines, ellipses, and rectangles automagically.
