Create an image with red text. Create and image with black text with exact the same parameters. Use the red text image as a base, so duplicate frames on that one. Use the black text as the source image. set 100% opacity for the first frame and 0% for the last one. There you go! enjoy!

Re: Script-fu crashes
Some details to add to what Marc said: >I've had 3 random freezes of the keyboard upon startx, with the monitor >going black and the only way out a hard reboot. I've fiddled about with >fsck (and been yelled at by German geeks for doing that) but something >seems to always work to get it back. Not the same thing every time, tho. Did you tried the SUBmarine tactic? Alt+SysReq+S (sync disks), wait until LED and sound stop, Alt+SysReq+U (umount disks, remount read only), wait until LED and sound stop, Alt+SysReq+B (reboot). The machine goes down quite fast, and a lot safer than drilling holes in the ships hull (aka hit the reset button), cos it can come up perfectly. Of course, all this works only if the kernel is still alive. GSR

RE: Newbie Developer's Question
I think I have slightly lost the thread. Originally what I was wondering was whether there was some way of automating the script process either by recording keystrokes like a macro (is this what Alan is talking about here ??) -- or by some sort of visual interface such as a drag-and-drop development environment ? thanks, Andrew -Original Message- From: Guillermo S.

RE: GAP
Thanks, Jakub !!! Can I take this one step further ? If we use this technique, then it is not possible for the object to undergo a colour transition AND change size within the same animation, is it ? Or maybe we need to use a different technique again ? Also, I think your website looks fantastic and I am wondering what tools you used (apart from the GIMP of course) to set up your site ? regards, Andrew -Original Message- From: Jakub Steiner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 17 July 2000 4:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: GAP > Also, I have had a look at your tutorial.

None that I know. Fire up whatever editor you want and code your script. Or code the drag and drop or visual interface yourself. ;] BTW: how do you record a loop? GSR

If we use this technique, then it is not IF you are not scared by PDB calls you could also use the Apply Perl Expression" to apply two efefcts gradually to each layer. The default (if I remember correctly, I can`t test it now) blurs an animation. Most effects (like changing colour & size) can be done in sequence (i.e. first do the colour effect, then the size change). -- -==- | ==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |

Or maybe we need to use a different > technique again ? Create the color fade first and then make "frames to image". This way you'll end up having a multi-layer-image/animation. You can then use this image as a source in another animation. You can then scale, fade and rotate the animation to create another one. You can ping-pong loop the color fade by setting the appropriate "stepmode". I'll try to make a real-life example of using GAP in the future to make sure eveyone is aware of how powerfull GAP really is. > Also, I think your website looks fantastic and I am wondering what tools you > used (apart from the GIMP of course) to set up your site ? For GFX it's GIMP only. I have started making the site in Photoshop3 and FrontPage (shame on me ;). I ended up with GIMP and vim. On the server side, I couldn't manage without the dynamic duo (MySQL/PHP). Jimmac -- -[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-[ http://hideout.musichall.cz ]- "even a stopped clock gives a right time twice a day"
Description of SF-ADJUSTMENT parameter format (?)
Hi! Does anybody know where can I get the description of all SF-parameters which could be used in a script-fu scripts (SF-ADJUSTMENT, for instance)? There are only 5 of them mentioned in Michael Terry's Black Belt School of Script-Fu. Thanks a lot in advance! -- Best regards, Victor. + To light a candle is to cast a shadow... +
