Wow, I don't even have a Logos section in Script Fu, in either 1.2.3 (RH73 RPM) or 1.2.4 (from tarball). I wonder what else I'm missing? Anyone know where to get Text Circle? Anyway, I didn't have anything that did this, and I wanted it for CD labels, so I wrote Arclayer (it bends the current layer in an upper or lower arc of a given radius). It was also an excuse to play with python, so I wrote it as a python plugin; eventually I may translate it to C, but I haven't had time, so for now you have to install gimp-python, http://www.daa.com.au/~james/pygimp/ (in 1.3 it's included, I believe). Arclayer has a few bugs (some extra pixels scattered around that you have to clean up) so I haven't put it in the plugin registry or anything, but you're welcome to try it: http://shallowsky.com/software/arclayer.py It combines nicely with a CD template plugin: http://shallowsky.com/software/CDlabel.py Anyone know a way to bring up the gimp-print plugin with pre-initialized values for offsets and scale? That would make CD labels a lot easier. ...Akkana _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
