 Not that hard.  On the site someone points to a tutorial that does the same
 thing using stroking and he incorrectly responds that it would create a more
 pixelated result.



Thanks, I saw the comments after asking here!

[Gimp-user] Is it really that complicated to make a circle?

2009-06-30 Thread Dotan Cohen
Please take a look at this guide for making a circle in the Gimp:
http://www.ghacks.net/2009/06/29/linux-tips-create-an-unfilled-circle-in-the-gimp/

7 steps? Really?

There are not really so much steps involved.

Step 1. Create an empty image. This is not really an step, at least if
you are already working in an image
Step 2. Select the color for the image. Obviously; doesn't matter
whether you are using The Gimp or other app.
Step 3. Create a ellipse selection as a circle. Correct.
Step 4. Fill in this circle. Instead of doing this, you want to do
'edit/stroke selection', specifying (number of pixels) the thickness.
Step 5. Select none (ctrl+shift+'a')

Hope it helps.

So it is just three steps really, steps 3-5 in your list. I suppose
that is reasonable.

Is there any way to see the thickness of the circle when selecting?
For instance, in Kolourpaint (I use KDE) the user selects the Elipse
tool, and when he drags the tool he sees exactly what the result will
be. Can this be done in Gimp?

Thanks!

Instead of stroke selection...you might try converting the selection to a path 
and stroking that.  The result will be smoother.
