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.
-
Infinite canvas
You don't pick a resolution, and you don't work with pixels. Your work is stored as a sequence of commands, and rendered on the fly. Whenever you want to, you can export your work to bitmaps of any size.
-
Simple
Milton solves a single problem: draw without pixels. It doesn't pretend to be something more than that.
-
Persistent
No save button. Ctrl-S is so 1980's
-
Wacom support
Milton currently supports Wacom on Windows Mac and Linux. The Mac version supports any tablet device. General tablet support on Windows is WIP.
-
Software rendered.
Milton features a software rasterizer by design, for reliability and flexibility.
-
Open Source
Milton is MIT-licensed
Milton is not an image editor or a vector graphics editor. It's a program that lets you draw, sketch and paint.
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.
Requirements: VS2015. If you have another version, edit scripts\vcvars.bat to point to your Visual Studio path. (2010 == 10.0, 2012 == 11.0, 2013 == 12.0, 2015 == 14.0)
Run cmd.exe
and type the following
scripts\vcvars.bat
build.bat
Milton will be compiled to build\Milton.exe
There is a Visual Studio 2015 solution provided in VS2015\MiltonPaint.sln, which is currently broken. I use it to check that my header dependencies work with a one-translation-unit-per-file build.
WON'T WORK
Requirements:
- SDL2 development libraries. On Ubuntu, this is
apt-get install libsdl2-dev
- The clang compiler.
Just run make
WON'T WORK
Requirements:
- CMake (for building SDL)
./setup_osx.sh
to download dependencies and build SDL./build_osx.sh
- Milton is compiled to
./build/milton
