In graphics and image-editing programs the
painting tool changes the area of
your image where you use the
cursor to add paint strokes to the image. You can
use this tool to do tasks such as fill in single pixels, add hard or soft lines,
or select areas to fill with a solid color. Some programs will allow you to
paint with a texture rather than a single color.
