1. Introduction

Welcome to Pixy Manual. Although Pixy is a small application, it's very powerfull, and we recommend you to read this manual completely.

Pixy is a pixel-graphics drawing application. It means it doesn't work with true color (65K or 16M RGB) images, but indexed images (ie. images with a palette). In pixel graphics an artist usually draws the entire image pixel-by-pixel, using a minumum number of tools: pen, fill, line, rectangle. Of course that's very limited, so we added a few more tools, since the main goal is to create wonderfull pieces of images, and not making it hard to create them. In indexed images you have a palette, ie. a set of (up to 255) colors. You draw the image using only those colors, and nothing else.
