BEFORE YOU START!
This lil thing above shows up on the main oekaki page. Before you hit Paint you might want a different canvas size than 300x300 (which is default). See where it says CanvasSize? =3 First number is for width, the second is for height. Also, see the lil box where you can put a checkmark? That's so you can choose if you want people to be able to watch your drawing animation. The only way you can continue a pic later if you want to change something is to check that box.






* float: brings oekaki canvas and tools into its own smaller window.
* paint: pretty self explanitory. Select the button and click to fill in with color quickly. Paint bucket tool.
* palettes: The verious different palettes in the orange box on the right can be clicked to give you different preset selections of colors. On the actual palette itself (the colorful boxes) you can select a color and adjust it to your liking.
* color adjuster: drag the red (more pink really), green, and blue bars left and right to adjust colors. Moving the bars to the left will make colors lighter, moving to the right will make it darker.
* opacity: move the bar left and right to adjust the opacity of various tools. This can be used to make rectangles slightly clear, make Solid more "pencily", adjust tones, and some other stuff I haven't figured out yet.
* line thickness: moving the colored area up and down adjusts the thickness of your lines. The number indicates the thickness in pixels.
* layers: clicking this box will change the layers. Layer 1 is on top and Layer 0 is on the bottom. Whichever layer is showing up in the box is the layer you're on.
* save settings: This will save your settings when you right click on it, meaning all the tools, line thickness, opacity, etc that you have in the tool bar when you right click will be saved. You can save up to three settings and the little boxes will show you the color you were using when you saved the settings. This only works until you send the pic. Do not expect it to still be there when you click paint again.
* send: click that only when you're done with your picture and have typed up your message.

Below are the various different tools you can get by clicking the first 7 buttons on the toolbar. The first five rows require two clicks to change the tool, one to select the button and one to change the tool. The second two can't be selected so just click them once to change thier setting.
* Notes:
     - All the tools in row 4 work only in rectangles. The only tool that can be used to move things is the copy tool.
     - For row 7, right click on the button with the color you want to mask or remask.
     - Right clicking on the canvas will allow you to pick up whatever color you right clicked on.
