  Overview of Paint

  Paint is a graphics program that lets you create simple
  pictures, including sketches, illustrations, or maps.  You can
  choose from an assortment of art tools to create and enhance
  your pictures.

  If you have a color monitor, you can choose colors from a
  color palette.

  The Paint program can save your pictures for later use, print
  them on different kinds of printers, or copy them to other
  applications.  You can also project these pictures on your
  workstation screen with the CDA Viewer.
