Ok, in your config.log I found this:

So, you need to fix your pango installation.  Is suggest installing
Cairo first:

http://cairographics.org/

and then pango:

ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/

and then try building Gimp 2.3.7.  Why libpangocairo is being linked in,
I don't know but that's the problem.  That is why the test program
didn't run.

Using layer modes, you can get an effect similar to what you're
describing: you can make overlapping areas of layers turn
colors that reflect the addition or subtraction of the two colors.
Unfortunately, blue and yellow don't combine to make green in either
addition or subtraction mode; they make white. Think about the RGB
values of the colors to understand why -- if you don't know the RGB
values of colors off the top of your head, watch the sliders in the
color chooser dialog when you select the colors to see how red,
green and blue combine to make each color. Blue is 00F, yellow is
FF0, and adding them makes white, FFF, instead of green, 0F0.

To get a better feel for how colors combine, try this exercise:
make a black background layer. On top of it, make three circles,
each in its own layer, one colored red, one green, and one blue.
Move the circles so that they overlap each other partially but not
completely. Now, in the Layers dialog, set each of the three circles
to Addition mode and watch how they combine. Play with circles of
different colors in different layer modes to see what happens.

Subtract mode does basically what colored filters would do to a
white light (do the circles exercise I described, but start with a
white background instead of black). Addition mode is what you would
see if you shone lights of different colors (e.g. a blue light and
a yellow light) onto the same surface. Unfortunately, in neither
mode will blue and yellow combine to make green, even though that
is the combination you'd expect if you're used to mixing paints.

configure detected the correct version of gtk+ and built a test
program against it. But this test program cannot be executed, most
probably because the linker didn't find the gtk+ library. Have you set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

All of the pixels in your partly transparent layers have an alpha
value below 127, they are more transparent than opaque. Since GIF only
supports binary transparency, these pixels all end up being
transparent in the animation.

The Animation Playback plug-in simulates GIF transparency. If someone
wants to come up with a patch that adds a check button to enable/disable
this feature, that would be a welcomed contribution.

Dear Carol,

thanks for your fast reply. If it was for exporting to GIF, I would have 
come to the same conclusion. But it is also within GIMP preview 
dialogue that the translucent gradients are not shown. I made sure in a 
2nd trial that the layers themselves _are_ shown.

forgive me, i have not looked at the animation yet.  even without
looking (however) i can tell you that gif is either completely
transparent or completely painted.  there is no inbetween, unless you
are one of those people who has purchased or obtained the propietary gif
libraries which use (i think) something that i can only imagine to be a
layered color set up.  

the gifs that average users like you (maybe) and me have one 256 color
palette.  one of the color positions can be used for transparency
leaving 255 colors and 1 no color.  the industry gif has 256 of those
palettes to work with and can show various amounts of transparency.

btw, 256x256 is something close to 16 million, which is the number of
colors that a jpeg uses.  jpeg however does not know transparency.

so there you go.  it is not gimp that cannot make your animation
transparent, it is the library they allow you to have and for your
software to use to make and view gif with.

mng works.  i am certain that one day a browser will be made that can
display mng.  especially if we can make a community of interested people
who want to deliver free software to actual users.  until such a
software project exists, you can search the bug reports of the different
browser projects to see what has happened there.

first thing.  in keeping with the spirit of how gimpshop came to be, i
am curious if there are separate online resources for this application.
they opted (probably for really good reasons) to go on their own to
provide software for what is probably a large group of users.

perhaps you could list gimpshop resources here so that the gimp users
can redirect the gimpshop questions to the proper place.

personally, i do not want to interfer with them.  they filled a nitch
and did this without the gimp developers.  i suspect they had really
good reasons to do this.  it would be wrong, in my opinion, to start to
help them now -- keeping with the spirit of their project.

i think you are missing an idea.  first add new segments.  right click
on the colors in the gradient editor.  you can add segments in more than
one way.  i always have to read the options and think about it.

each segment has a right boundry, center boundry and left boundry.  

the end and start in the dialog means the selected segments.  to select
a segment, right click on the center triangle of the segment you want.
to select a group of segments, right click on either ending segment and
(i think) shift click on the other ending segment.

the menu dialog uses right and left start points and this would be the
right and left of the selected group of segments.

the interface with the gradient editor is somewhat complex, but so is
editing gradients.  after having been successful at this, i cannot think
of a simpler way to do this.

i think i have a tutorial about it, i don't know if it answers your
questions directly .

[pause while reviewing old tutorials]
http://carol.gimp.org/gimp2/artsy-fartsy/gradient/
sure, it is right there.

[Gimp-user] blue + yellow = green

2006-02-25 Thread Robert Citek

Hello all,

I'm slowing getting familiar with gimp/gimpshop.  And so I thought I  
would try a couple of toy problems.  One toy problem is to create a  
venn diagram.  The resulting image would look something like a Visa  
logo, except the colors of the circles would be blue and yellow, with  
the intersection being green. Here's an SVG version[1] which is close  
to what I'm looking for.  Notice, though, that the intersection is  
the wrong color. (Modified from the Mozilla website on SVG[2].


To clarify, I'm not looking to select the intersection based on color  
and then fill the selection with green, but rather have gimp/gimpshop  
imitate what one would do in the real world with color filters, e.g.  
acetate[3], and a white light.


Can this be done with the gimp/gimpshop?   I'm assuming I should be  
looking at layer masking and transparency.  Pointers in the right  
direction appreciated.

Run "pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0" to see what version of GTK+ is
registered with pkg-config.  I think the Gimp configure script uses
pkg-config to get the locations of GLIB and GTK+ includes and libs.

If the version of GTK+ registered to pkg-config doesn't match what you
know is installed, you can fix that problem.

If you like, e-mail me your config.log and I can possibly let you know
what you need to fix.

Hi all,

I hate having to bother this list with tiresome compile problems, but here goes:

Earlier this week, I installed 2.3.7 under Ubuntu (Breezy). At the
moment, I am trying to do the same under Fedora Core 4, but I am
having less success. In particular, I keep getting this error message
from configure:

configure: error: Test for GTK+ failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

Initially, I installed 2.8.12 in /usr/local, as is my preference for
newer, non-packaged versions. When that didn't work, I bit the bullet
and removed the latest official package, 2.6.10, with sudo rpm -e
--nodeps gtk2, and installed 2.8.12 in the default location, but that
still didn't solve the problem.

FWIW, I added /usr/local to /etc/ld.so.conf, and, yes, I run sudo
ldconfig after installing the libraries. Something is going wrong, but
what?

I was able to install gtk2 2.8.12 in /usr/local and compile gimp 2.3.7
without this problem under Ubuntu, and without having to uninstall the
older official releases, and I'd like to be able to do the same under
Fedora.
