[Gimp-developer] How to edit context menu?
hi, I wanna edit my GIMP's context menu. Now the context menu is as seems as the menu bar. I wanna use my customized context menu to replace the original one. I found some clue in app/widgets/gimpuimanager.c:573 which say: void gimp_ui_manager_ui_popup (GimpUIManager*manager, const gchar *ui_path, GtkWidget*parent, GimpMenuPositionFunc position_func, gpointer position_data, GDestroyNotifypopdown_func, gpointer popdown_data) but how to do next? thx!! -- Bear 2010-06-19 ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

[Gimp-developer] Rotate on the arbitrary line -- feature request
I had scanned a bunch of small odd shapped images and most of them I couldn't get rotated exactly right. I had to use photoshop and they have a feature where I can draw a straight line, and say to rotate the image to that line. It was called Rotate to Arbitrary. I see a similiar feature in Gimp where I can rotate the image, but I can't have it rotate to a line. The reason this is helpful is because I can choose a line of text or a border edge because I wasn't able to straighten out the images just by eyeballing them. I was within one degree, but that wasn't good enough for because over 12 inches, you can see that the text is a little crooked. rotating the image -1 degree the other way over corrects the image in the opposite direction, so it is best if the computer can rotate it. How can I request this feature to be added. It seems very useful for images that aren't straight and allows people to just arbitrarily throw images on the scanner, and then orient them up perfectly.. -- doug p.

Hi doug, the best way to request user interface improvements is to sketch your idea and post it on the UI brainstorm [1]. I'm aware of two postings which already touch the same problem [2,3]. Improvements are always welcome. That being said, the canonical workaround is to align to the window border or to another window, if necessary. regards, yahvuu [1] http://gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com/ [2] http://gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com/2007/10/precise-rotation-using-measured-data.html [3] http://gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com/2010/06/workspace-continued.html ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

There's no discussion and rarely any feedback. Also the fact that the submission has to be totally pictorial is a debatable restriction for a purely GUI topic but not well suited to presenting the pros and cons of one rotation method against another. It is acceptable to open a feature request bug once the ideas have been discussed here. So you're doing the right thing. Wait to see what responses you get and what the feeling is about the idea and its feasibility. Unless it gets shot down you could open a feature request bug. /gg ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Doug There are a couple of scripts that provide this behaviour: http://registry.gimp.org/node/22910 Or http://registry.gimp.org/node/18821 which also needs http://registry.gimp.org/node/18820 I find the first to be the simplest. -Rob A On 6/19/10, doug p. for...@gimpusers.com wrote: I had scanned a bunch of small odd shapped images and most of them I couldn't get rotated exactly right.

Hi, for...@gimpusers.com (2010-06-19 at 1750.20 +0200): I had scanned a bunch of small odd shapped images and most of them I couldn't get rotated exactly right. I had to use photoshop and they have a feature where I can draw a straight line, and say to rotate the image to that line. It was called Rotate to Arbitrary. I see a similiar feature in Gimp where I can rotate the image, but I can't have it rotate to a line. The reason this is Is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtAVRv8RMBg the feature you are talking about? Playing with grid settings one can get a good result in most situations, tho being able to set one single line (or cross of two) at user selectable coords would indeed help in some cases. helpful is because I can choose a line of text or a border edge because I wasn't able to straighten out the images just by eyeballing them. I was within one degree, but that wasn't good enough for because over 12 inches, you can see that the text is a little crooked. rotating the image -1 degree the other way over corrects the image in the opposite direction, so it is best if the computer can rotate it. How can I request this feature to be added. It seems very useful for images that aren't straight and allows people to just arbitrarily throw images on the scanner, and then orient them up perfectly.. Hmm... maybe your case is a bit extreme. OTOH, I tried some fake scans and zooming in (a lot) with grid set to 1 pix gave pretty good control with Gimp corrective method. Could I see a crop of your scans to try with the same image? If not the thing you need, you better follow the advice of other posts.

Are you familiar with GTK+? If not, please read the documentation and tutorials before you ask here. We can certainly help you with GIMP specific questions, but I get the impression that you are lacking some fundamental GTK+ knowledge that is absolutely essential for what you are trying to achieve.

You select the Rotate Tool and choose Corrective as the Transform Direction in the tool options. Set preview mode to Grid and align your grid with the line on the image that you want to be horizontal. That's it. Having this feature exposed with a UI similar to that available in PS has been suggested every so often. Everyone agrees that it would probably be a nice thing to add, but so far no one has started to work on it.

Re: [Gimp-developer] How to edit context menu?
If you want to do this for your new tool, you might benefit from looking at gimptexttool.c -- the function gimp_text_tool_get_popup is what sets up the context menu for the text tool. It is invoked in the gimp_text_tool_class_init function, in the line that reads tool_class-get_popup = gimp_text_tool_get_popup; The code is pretty hard to understand without deep knowledge of the Gtk menu system, though. The actual contents of the context menu are where Mitch pointed you. -- Bill ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
