Hi, charkee berekeke [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: That piece on writing text on a curve is really interesting =). I would still like to know if gimp can write vertical text, like T H I S It cannot do this. At least not without major hassle like moving the glyphs around manually.

I don't plan to add support for vertical text until Pango supports it. Sven One way I've figured out to do this is by using the "Dynamic Text" tool. Simply choose the text tool from the toolbox, right click on the image and click "Dialogs", then "Tool Options", then make sure "Dynamic Text" is checked. Then with the text tool selected, create a new transparent layer (always a good thing to do), and click on the image and the dynamic text tool dialog should open. Choose your font, font size, and metric (points, pixels, etc). Then type the first letter and then press "Enter" then type the second letter and press "Enter", etc.. Then when done, click "Apply" and the text should appear vertically as a floating selection that you can then choose the "move tool" to move around to the final location and then anchor. At least that's worked for me :) Peace... Tom
[Gimp-user] How to convert a bunch of files from one format to theother
Hi, I have a bunch of bmp images that I want to convert to jpeg format. How can I do this without having to go thru each image at a time? I'm running gimp on a unix platform. -- *** Phillip B.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to convert a bunch of files from one format tothe other
Hi, You could use convert from the ImageMagick suite and a small bash script like: #!/bin/bash for image in *.bmp; do target=`echo $image | sed s/.bmp/.jpg/` convert $image $target done Or something similar.

[Gimp-user] Crop and register marks
I am working on a python-fu script to add crop and register printing marks to the GIMP images. Not pratical - it have to be run manually before printing, and the marks have to be cropped out if one is going to scale the image further afterwards (last the cropmarks get out of proportion). There are some finishing touches I'd like to insert before puutting a definitive version online somewere. However, I remeber I had read someone aking for such a plugina while ago - I do not remember if here or on Usenet. I f one is in NEED for that, the script is already usable, and I'd invite the itnerested parties to contact me in order for they to test the marks I am adding - and startin using it themselves. Needs gimp python, and is working in gimp 1.2.x . JS -- ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
