I've seen some of the problem myself, mainly corrupt images or options that
behaved different in a previous release. I've heard of even more problems of
the later kind, mainly in usenet posts.

GraphicsMagick is designed for stability. You may even call it the stable
release of ImageMagick.
I'm all for stability, but I've never had any problems with ImageMagick, 
although I've not done anything too terribly complex.  Mostly conversion 
from one format to another, adding frames to a bunch of images, 
combining images, adjusting brightness/contrast of images.

GraphicsMagick is designed for stability. You may even call it the stable
release of ImageMagick. 
According to their mission goal, the developers aim for:

- fewer crashes
- fewer bugs
- consistent behaviour
- stable APIs

HTH,
Michael

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


mogrify -format jpg *.bmp

I am working on a python-fu script to add crop and register printing

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  .

this looks pretty cool.

Well, as someone pointed out, you can of course do it the way you did
it in your mail. That is, enter a single glyph per line. For 1.2 you
will need to use the GDynText plug-in since the basic text tool
doesn't support multi-line text. I was however assuming you were
speaking of text in asian scripts that are rendered top-to-bottom. You
would not get far with the one-letter-per-line approach then.

RE: [Gimp-user] how to write vertical text

2003-07-21 Thread G . DeSercey
In the file area of the gimpwin-user yahoo group, there's a script I wrote
that will fit text to a path. It won't write the text vertically the way you
want, but it will work nicely for arcs. I think you need to be a member of
the group to access the file. The url is:
