(example attached) It is a lot simpler than Gimp! -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 Linux user #360648 oo-draw-example.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Generally there are two drawing applications you might wish to use, they both fulfil different goals. you have on one hand 'gimp'. this is whats known as a bitmap editor, its preferred if your going to be doing painting like operations and manipulating photos/other graphical images On the other hand is the quite excellent Inkscape, its what is known as a 'vector editor' which means that instead of painting colour like you do in gimp, you instead draw lines and construct images based on that. Essentially if you want to draw images, go for inkscape. if you want to paint images, go for gimp. they are both excellent software however (so play about and choose whats best for you) -- Gordon Allott [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
