This issue has been brought up many times on both gimp-user and
gimp-dev... and making them subscriber only would decrease their
usefulness so is not an option.  i'm afraid we just have to live with
the spam.

I don't have the ximian gimp... Actually I haven't used GIMP much lately
and don't even remember when I last compiled from CVS.

But.. could you please check bugzilla.gnome.org in the GIMP module for
similar bug reports?  A crash is a pretty serious bug so you should
report it if you can reproduce it.

If you need more help writing a bug report, please let me know.  I'm
working on a how to for the future www.gimp.org that could help.  So I'd
need to drag a URL out of carol for you. :-)

I believe that the magic wand will select a 'color range', which can and
will include a range of colors.  If you select and move your mouse while
holding the button, the selected area will grow/shrink as it
widens/narrows the range.

I just tested this as follows:

create an image,  Fill this area with a gradient.  Select roughly the
center of the gradient, but hold the mouse button down and move your
mouse north/south or east/west.  As you do, you'll see the selected area
grow/shrink.

It's a matter of opinion.  I personally find dealing with the spam
counter-productive.

[Gimp-user] text along a curve

GIMP doesn't do this easily.  A much simpler solution is to use a vector
tool, export to PS and then import the file to GIMP.  

There are two tools that can probably do this for you.  The first is
Sketch.  I believe there is a plug-in for that tool that can do text along
a curve (or some kind of curved text).  Another option is StarDraw (or
whatever it's called).  Both the 5.2 and 6.0 versions have a tool called
FontWork which will do text along a curve.  5.2 is a little more stable
than 6.0, but 6.0 is pretty nice too.

Once you save (or print) to a postscript file, you should be able to import
it to GIMP.  From there you can select, copy, and paste it into any other
Canvas window you happen to be working in.

Re: [Gimp-user] creating a circled area in an image

2001-11-20 Thread magnetHead

I'm pretty sure that you can use Gimp:Perl to access image data and perform 
small tasks. I've not done it yet, but yes, something of this nature seems 
entirely possible. Circling areas of common color with a marquee.

Re: [Gimp-user] text along a curve

2001-11-20 Thread Jeff Trefftzs

There is also a script to place text along a path.  
/Script-Fu/Render/Text along path ... but even its creator 
acknowledges its weaknesses.  It tries to place each character 
separately, rotated to follow the tangent to the path at that 
point (well, actually rotated to the normal to the tangent, but 
you get the idea).  The script needs to be tweaked to use 
SF-FONT instead of a font file name to make it work more easily 
on Linux systems.

[Gimp-user] Re: creating a circled area in an image

2001-11-20 Thread Bob Krovetz

Thanks for the suggestions.  I want to circle the area automatically
though.  I need to write a script that will determine the area that
I want to circle given a range of colors, and then draw a circle around
that area.  I'll take a look at the magic wand tool and at Gimp:Perl to 
see how I can use them to write the script.

If a user posts to the list, he should subscribe to read the replies, no?
The web archive should be only an archive to retrieve posts...
There is also a newsgroup (comp.graphics.apps.gimp) if non-suscribers want to

OK.

I want to highlight the area of the image that will be displayed to someone

I want to ask the user about.  The line *could* be drawn around the circumference
of the area (an irregular shape), but I thought it would be easier to draw a
circle that encloses the entire area.  It doesn't matter if a bit of the blue
is cut off - the intent is just to focus the user's attention.
