Microsoft Paint's Tools' descriptioD

These are the various kinds of tools used in Microsoft paint. below is a description of each of these tools:-

Free Form select: Allows you to select a specific part of your painting, this part can be of any shape and you can select around the specific parts. Then you can cut, copy, or paste that part.

Select: Allows you to select a specific part of your painting, this part can only fit in a rectangular selection space. Then you can cut, copy, or paste that part.

Eraser: Allows you to erase parts of a painting. By pressing right-click on one of the colors at the bottom, you can change the colour of the eraser. This is because if you have a black, red, or a green background, the eraser rubs back the part and fills it with the original background.

Fill: As its name suggests, it fills enclosed objects with whatever colour you choose.

Pick colour: Allows you to get the exact colour you want by selecting it and then clicking on the colour(maybe from a picture that is on MS paint) you want to paint with.

Magnifier:Allows you to magnify to accurately draw, colour or fill drawings.

Pencil: Allows you to write and draw in a free form way. You can use this when you want to draw objects which are not preloaded on paint.

Brush: Allows you to do the same as a pencil, but it has different selections of brushes to choose from and it is darker than a pencil.

Airbrush: This allows you to potentially "spray" your chosen colour on the paint document. You can choose how closely or farther the particles are placed.

Text: Allows you to write text from a chosen font, stlye and size

Line: Allows you to draw a straight line- whether it is horizontal, vertical or diagonal.

Curve: Allows you to draw smooth curves.

Rectangle: Allows you to draw rectangles of all shapes and sizes. However, if you want to keep the length and width in proportion you can hold down the shift button.

Polygon: Allows you to draw ant two dimensional shapes. If you want a more perfect shape, you can hold down the shift button to make tall of the angles either 45 or 90 degrees.

Ellipse: Allows you to draw ellipses and circles of all shapes and sizes. However, if you want equal proportions, you can press the shift button to create a circle.

Rounded rectangle: Allows you to do the same thing as rectangles except that these shapes have rounded edges.
