Re: [Gimp-developer] Selections to shapes
Hi Joao. I know about the selection to paths, but it's not as rich and interactive as I am proposing. What I had in mind is something like Arakne's Path-Shape-Creator here http://www.arakne.es/en/dessign/gimp-python-script-shape-creator-shapes/ In fact, Ajay Ramanathan's proposed combined-selection tool here : https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/log/?h=soc-2013-combined-selection-tool contains some possibility to create n-polygon shapes, just working with selections (not paths). I just thought from that angle it would be nice to consider other possible design shapes as well. Regards.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Selections to shapes
Try using "Select->To Path" -- Everything you describe is already possible. Although, maybe, selection->To path could have more usability if it would change to the Path Tool, with the new path as active, so that its nodes are displayed at once. Currently, one has to manually go to the Paths dockable, set the path as visible, select the Path Tool and click on the path (4 separate actions) before being able to see the handles. js -><- On 20 March 2015 at 06:01, Joseph Bupe wrote: > Hi, > > It would be nice to have controls for tweaking rectangle and ellipse > selections into different shapes for designing pixel-based graphics with > easy.

[Gimp-developer] Selections to shapes
Hi, It would be nice to have controls for tweaking rectangle and ellipse selections into different shapes for designing pixel-based graphics with easy. Currently, the rectangle selections can only be tweaked into a rounded-corners shape. This should be extended further to allow shaping selections into different forms based on the type of the starting selection. Such design shapes can then be filled with colour, stroked, beveled, embossed etc. Regards.
