[Gimp-developer] Gfig

2007-03-06 Thread Claus Cyrny
Hi all,

I would like to know if 'gfig' is supposed to
be included in Gimp 2.4? The handling is
really so uncomfortable that I would rather
like to see the text tool improved, the way it
is already realized in Paint Shop Pro, Photo-
shop, etc.: to include the text at first as a vector
layer, which can be rendered as a bitmap after-
wards. The handling of the present text tool is
far from satisfactory.

Greetings,

Claus

 Huh?  Gfig has nothing to do with text, and the text
 tool already does create vector text layers.  Your
 request is impossible to understand.

Sorry, if my post was somewhat unclear. What I was
trying to say is, that in the context of The Gimp, 'gfig'
doesn't make any sense to me (partially due to the very
difficult handling). For those tasks programs like
Inkscape are much better suited (and much easier to
handle). So, it would seem logical to me to abandon 'gfig'
and concentrate more on important things like the text tool.
Since I'm not a programmer, I didn't know that the text
tool already *does* include the text in vector format.
What I had in mind is a tool where you can scale/rotate
etc. the text /before/ is is rendered as a bitmap. In Photoshop,
there are text fx available as well.

 GEGL is a graph based image processing framework offering non-destructive 
 image
 processing and compositing on large images. GEGL is suitable for projects
 ranging from small one-off projects to interactive applications. [ ... ]
   

When will GEGL finally be implemented in the Gimp? 16-bit support was
already mentioned in 2002, and newer apps like 'Krita' have already
32-bit/HDR. To me, 16-bit  color management are most important;
otherwise users will simply switch to other apps. I don't want the Gimp
to become a second Photoshop, and I really like using it, but the lack
of 16-bit are something that keeps especially pro users from using the
Gimp.
