Other Standard Tools

Note that, while drawing with these tools, you won't know
exactly what the final output will look like until you release
your mouse button. For speed reasons, UltraPaint does not apply
alpha blending, use textures, or fill shapes until you release
the mouse button.
The freehand tool just draws
exactly what your mouse draws, in the current line color
and using the current pen. It's tools like this that make
me wish I had an electronic writing tablet.
- The Line tool just draws a line, in the current line
color and using the current pen, from where you click
down the mouse to where you release it.
- As you drag the mouse, hold down the Shift
key to force the line to be straight, or at a
perfect 45° angle.
- The rectangle tool draws a rectangle, with the current
line color and pen on the outside and the current fill
color on the inside.
- You can draw a square by holding Shift
as you drag the mouse.
- The ellipse tool draws an ellipse, with the current line
color and pen on the outside and the current fill color
on the inside.
- You can draw a circle by holding Shift
as you drag the mouse.
- The dropper tool reads a color from the image into the
current line color. Just click what pixel of which you
want to get the color.
- Hold Ctrl before clicking to
read into the fill color.
- Hold Shift before clicking to
read into the text color.
- The regular polygon tool draws a regular polygon. Depress
the mouse button where you want the center of the shape
to be and drag outward. You can choose any number of
sides, with a minimum of 3.
