ViPaint
================

ViPaint is a modal painting program that tries to show how vim-like controls
can be applied to anything!

#### Gradle
ViPaint uses gradle2+ for builds. To install gradle see [this webpage](https://gradle.org).

Installing gradle on debian is as simple as running one of the following
```shell
apt-get install gradle
```
You must have java 8 installed as well. Be sure ```gradle -v``` gives you a version >2.

#### Compiling
To Compile and run ViPaint, simply run
```shell
gradle run
```
Compiling it without running can be done with
```shell
gradle build
```

#### Modal Interface
Here are a few tips to using ViPaint.

* Type :help for help in the program and a list of (vi-esq) commands
* Some Example commands are
* I - Insert Mode, a simple pen tool
* D - Delete Mode, an eraser
* R - Rectangle Tool. Capital fills the Rectangle
* O - Oval Tool. Capital fills the Oval
* N - Line Tool, move to a end point.
* Help pages are available as well. For example, ```:help rectangle``` is available
* Some ex commands are available too. Try:
* `:let color=blue`
* `:let move_distance=1`
* `:w file.png`
* `:o file.png`
* `:o file.txt` (this is pretty cool, don't do this with a tiling wm)
