Milton is an open source application that lets you Just Paint.

There are no pixels, you can paint with (almost) infinite detail. It feels raster-based but it works with vectors. It is not an image editor. It is not a vector graphics editor. It is a program that lets you draw, sketch and paint. There is no save button, your work is persistent with unlimited undo.

Latest release

What Milton is not:

Milton is not an image editor or a vector graphics editor. It's a program that lets you draw, sketch and paint.

User Manual

If the GUI makes something not-obvious, please create a github issue!

It's very helpful to drag the mouse (or pen) while pressing space to pan the canvas. Also, switching between the brush and the eraser with b and e. You can change the brush size with [ and ] and control the transparency with the number keys.

Milton is Windows only at the moment. Linux and OSX support is intended for the future, but I don't know when that will come.

How to Compile

Windows

Requirements: VS2015. Compiling with other versions of Visual Studio will probably not work, since Milton provides a pre-compiled SDL.lib. If you want to use another version of Visual Studio, you will need to compile SDL and copy SDL.lib to the build directory.

To build:

Run cmd.exe and type the following

scripts\vcvars.bat
build.bat

Milton will be compiled to build\Milton.exe

Linux

Porting in progress.

Build it with make and run it with build/milton. You need to install the SDL libraries (libsdl2-dev on Ubuntu).

OSX

No OSX support at the moment.
