It's a somewhat unprofessional approach to print and sell the user
manual without getting in contact with the authors beforehand, isn't it?
And then you put "Susan A. Jones" as the author. Who is that? I don't
remember having seen that name among the contributors to the GIMP user
manual.

> Could you help to get this up on the book page?

I don't think we want to advertize an outdated copy of the user manual.
Definitely not without approval from the GIMP docs team. So please ask
them first.

Sorry, but you can't. Currently the procedure that opens the thumbnail
can only specify the size of the original image. We could add the
possibility to optionally the specify number of layers. Currently it is
not possible though.

Hi Michael,

Yes, it is a pdf formatted version of http://docs.gimp.org .

We formatted the gnu-labeled PDF version for book printing and designed this

What exactly makes this book official? Is it a print of the manual
available from http://docs.gimp.org?

Hi all, some Idea for GELG in gimp,
   1) Can add GEGL operation to Layer
   2) Can change operation at any time
   3) Show GEGL operation as list

Good luck

[Gimp-developer] some confusions because of missing delimitation frame inside settings windows (Win32)

2008-10-21 Thread Cristian Secară
I was confused why the "Factory defaults" button from
Image -> Filters -> Distorts -> Newsprint
only defaults just a few settings there, until I found a snapshot at
this address
http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/graphics_tools/gimp_user_manual/en/plug-in-newsprint.html
which explained to me the mistery: the Factory defaults only refers to
what is inside the "Screen" delimitation frame, not the settings in the
whole preference window.

On my system that delimitation is visually missing – this is what I am
seeing on my system
http://www.secarica.ro/misc/gimp_filters_distorts_newsprint.png
(although I am on Windows XP, I have set the Emacs theme for GIMP in
order to resemble with the snapshot from the linuxtopia site)

Is this a Win32 port problem (GTK+ perhaps), or a global problem ?
And even so, the "Factory defaults" does not affect the Black pullout
cursor, which can be considered as belonging to the "Screen" category,
the one that can be defaulted.

[Gimp-developer] How can I set the number of layers of thumbnail?

2008-10-21 Thread tks
Hi!
I'm writing this plug-in for GIMP-2.6 on Fedora 9.
http://registry.gimp.org/node/9036

I added ability to load as a thumbnail but it only showed file name
and file size in preview box of save dialog.
I want to show more information such like image width, height, and
number of layers.
I modify these lines based on "libgimpthumb/gimpthumbnail.c"

query (void)
{
//
  static const GimpParamDef thumb_return_vals[] =
{
  { GIMP_PDB_IMAGE, "image",  "Thumbnail image"  },
  { GIMP_PDB_INT32,   "image-num-layers", "The number of layers" },
  { GIMP_PDB_INT32,   "image-width",   "The width of image" },
  { GIMP_PDB_INT32,   "image-height", "The height of image" }
};
///

run (name,
///
  else if (strcmp (name, LOAD_THUMB_PROC) == 0)
{
  image_ID = load_thumbnail (param[0].data.d_string, &nlayers, &error);

  if (image_ID != -1)
{
  *nreturn_vals = 5;
  values[1].type = GIMP_PDB_IMAGE;
  values[1].data.d_image = image_ID;
  values[2].type = GIMP_PDB_INT32;
  values[2].data.d_int32 = 666;   /* image-num-layers */
  values[3].type = GIMP_PDB_INT32;
  values[3].data.d_int32 = 777;   /* image-width */
  values[4].type = GIMP_PDB_INT32;
  values[4].data.d_int32 = 888;   /* image-height */
}

(Full source code is here. http://www.sutv.zaq.ne.jp/linuz/tks/item/file-xmc.c )
The result is here.
http://www.sutv.zaq.ne.jp/linuz/tks/item/preview.png

If things go well, preview showld become
  777 x 888 pixels
  666 layers
but actual result is
  666 x 777 pixels
It seems that "image-num-layers" is ignored!
Then, how can I set the number of layers for a thumbnail?
Or, is it impossible?

I also tried to read "app/widgets/gimpthumbbox.c", but it's a hard work...

Oh well, that all kind of depends on how you implement it. In the Curves
dialog we also use bezier curves and you don't really notice it, because
the control handles get determined automatically.

Bezier Curves have a lot of (computationally) nice properties, making it
easy to implement it. Plus it really is nice how you can control them in
quite detail.

Yeah, just laying down nodes is a cool way to edit curves. From your
links it seems that Akima-Splines have a better locality and are more
stable than e.g. Spiro curves.

The thing is that there are dozends of interpolation types that have
this "laying down nodes" editing property and it is hard to put a finger
on which one to choose. We do know that spiro curves have been developed
to create visually appealing curves by requiring certain smoothness
properties. That makes them an appealing choice for design oriented
programs. The instability of spiros however might kind of hamper their
adoption for real use though.

Do you know of any study on how suitable Akima splines are for graphic
design? It would be nice to have a comparison of different spline types
for this kind of application. I believe the criteria you mentioned above
(locality, interpolates all control points) are not necessarily enough
to judge on that.

Bye,
Simon

In fact, you can just draw Spiro curves with Pen or Pencil from the
