Overview
There are three main software interfaces for driving the WaterColorBot: RoboPaint (as described on this page), the real-time painting app RoboPaint RT, and the WaterColorBot extensions for Inkscape.
RoboPaint is the Automatic Painting Software for the WaterColorBot. It runs under Mac, Windows, and Linux. In RoboPaint, you can open existing artwork in SVG format, snap the colors to your paint palette, and paint the document. It also has a rudimentary edit mode that lets you create new drawings to print.
If you’re starting with existing SVG artwork, RoboPaint is generally the best of the WaterColorBot interfaces to use for a few different reasons. Most importantly, it’s good at automatically filling in large solid regions of a painting.
We recommend that all WaterColorBot users download and install RoboPaint.
Windows users should download and install RoboPaint prior to the other programs, as it also installs the WaterColorBot’s USB driver.
