It is a misconfiguration on your part.  I'm running gimp 1.1.19 from
debian and GDynText appears to be working fine.  I typed text and it
appeared in a new layer.

devel-docs build errors

2000-04-17 Thread Kevin Turner

jade errors when running 'make html':
gimpmatrix.sgml:
  these lines get errors for having [ characters in their attributes:
17: typedef GimpMatrix3[3][3];
18: typedef GimpMatrix4[4][4];
72: GimpMatrix3[3][3]
79: GimpMatrix4[4][4]

parasite[PF].sgml:
IDs need to be unique, but
pasariteP.sgml:35: struct Parasite
parasiteF.sgml:35: struct Parasite

overall it seems to build okay, though.  So I guess these errors aren't
fatal.

Do you have a web site with current ones (I mean accepted, not distributed
yet)? If you do not have it, you should, so you only get new ones (maybe
inspired by already accepted ones).

Hehehe... with old GIMP we had the problem of "I have 128 MB of RAM but it
is slow, [ makes lot of noise | swaps a lot ], GIMP sucks!" due low tile
cache by default. The more tips, the better (we just need users that read
them ;] ).

I am currently taking care of the tips.  I will add one about the
number of undo levels.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I also take this
opportunity to thank those who have already e-mailed me some new tips.
Keep them coming!

Regarding the default number of undo levels, I think that 5 is OK.  I
would not mind if the default was increased to 10, but I would
certainly not like to have it set to anything larger.  If the default
number is too large, we would probably get many complaints from users
reporting that the Gimp uses way too much memory and disk space.

My advice: Do not even consider using it. gtkhtml is supposed to be much nicer
and I guess it is better documented too. As soon as it will become available
more wildly, we'll port the help-browser to gtkhtml too.


Salut, Sven

The title says it all.

You might think this a lazy question but I can't find any info on a WBMP
plug-in for The Gimp - perhaps I'm blind.

When I was in graduate school I lived with a couple of guys studying
landscape architecture.  They were always referring to books on color
matching for their drawings and plans.  A quick search on a well
known, but much reviled, online book store turned up this small sample
of potentials resources:

formula for complimentary colors?

2000-04-17 Thread Blue Lang


Hi gimp world.

I know nothing about art and colors and all that, but I'd like to hack out
a plug-in to allow people to make nice-looking color combinations in logos
and etc.

I make a lot of logos and whatnot, and can never figure out what colors go
with what. (I'm dumb like that.)

So I was wondering if anyone knows a mathematical formula for determining
such things, or a source of information like that? I've looked at a bunch
of art sites, and they all have color wheels and whatnot, but, well, I
just don't really grok what they're trying to tell me, and I'm sure there
are other, equally clueless people out there who would much rather just
see a three-panel swatch (like the kind you can get from home supply
stores, one big square of color and two color squares that 'match') than
try to tweak things out.

Any help given is much appreciated!

If not, well, I'll go steal a bunch of swatches, scan them, and run the
values thru a perl script. :P

Thanks,
