Subject: Re: LaTeX command in GIMP
Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2003 08:57:38 IST
Why don't you check out my TeX plugin that is part of the Perl/Gimp
distribution? You just type the LaTeX expressions and it renders the
result and makes it into a floating layer, just like ordinary text.
I also have a web page with some screen shots and explanations at:
http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/gimp/tex-to-float/
It is also possible to manually turn a black and white image into a
floating layer of the text by the following steps that I just learned
last night on the #gimp list:
1. Read the postscript file into gimp
2. Mark the image with Control-A
3. Copy the layer with Control-C
4. Turn on the quick mask (The red square below the image)
5. Paste with Control-V
6. Image/Colors/Invert
7. Turn off the quick mask
8. You now have a floating layer that you can copy, fill, etc.
But using my plug-in is probaby faster.
Enjoy!
(And thanks to carol for letting me know that you asked the question
on this list.)
Regards,
Dov
