Hi, Both MyPaint and Krita (http://www.valdyas.org/fading/index.cgi/hacking/krita/background.html) have the concept of a "background" image -- a pattern that is tiled behind the actual layers, for instance to show something that looks like paper when sketching.
Ideally, we'd be able to interchange images that contain such a background in OpenRaster. MyPaint saves its background as a layer and has some code to detect that the layer is actually a background layer with a pattern, but also saves a filled png of the size of the image. I think it would be generally useful to be able to save layers that have tiled contents, and that it would also be nice to have an explicit tag that declares such a layer to be a background. About create resources: maybe we could define a new resource, backgrounds, that we can package with create and re-use across applications? Both Krita and MyPaint now use pngs's, but it would be nice to have a format where we can name, tag, categorize and so on. -- Boudewijn Rempt | http://www.valdyas.org _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
