I think you will have to throw in an if there. I figured out a way to avoid the if statement. However, I don't know which method would be more efficient. i.e. should I try to avoid the if? These diagonal crop guides are very dynamic as you change your crop rectangle so I don't want to bog down the rendering. Just need some guidance on which route to take. I'll then have some follow up questions since I am not much of a coder (I'll do this off list unless directed otherwise). gimpregionselecttool.c has this bit of code when selecting a region: /* don't let the events come in too fast, ignore below a delay of 100 ms */ if (time - last_time 100) return; last_time = time; diff_x = coords-x - region_sel-x; diff_y = coords-y - region_sel-y; diff = ((ABS (diff_x) ABS (diff_y)) ? diff_x : diff_y) / 2.0; So there if doesn't look like it is too costly. The way I came up with to avoid the if is (pseudo code): X = x2-x1 Y = y2-y1 Z = [(X + Y) - ABS (X - Y)] / 2 So the upper left diagonal would go from x1,y1 to (x1 + Z), (y1 + Z) Any advice on which way to implement? -- Tim Jedlicka, Network Entomologist [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.galifree.com ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Enhancement - Diagonal line crop guide
(repost - got lost somewhere the first time)
I stumbled upon this link describing the use of the Diagonal (45 degree
diagonal from each corner of an image) as the optimum crop guide (better
than rule-of-thirds or golden rule).
http://www.diagonaalmethode.nl/
I hacked together a patch to add the Diagonal crop guide. So, should I open
an enhancement bugzilla and include the patch? My patch isn't perfect -
hence posting here since it requires some discussion. If the crop box is a
portrait, then it works, if landscape (X Y) then the guides extend beyond
the crop rectangle. I don't know how to fix this cleanly (using an if
statement doesn't seem efficient).
Any guidance (on or off list) would be appreciated. Thanks...Tim

Re: [Gimp-developer] rectangle select tool specification
First thanks for the new tool - it is growing on me. I love the highlight and the 3rds guides. I resisted using it until 2.3.10 but have used it for about 100 images now. The rect. select is the one tool I use on every image. Not sure if you want a bug report (another bug report?) on the aspect ratio - but this still needs some clarified requirements or usage studies - what is the recommended way of cropping to standard aspect ratios? How do I easily go from 2:3 to 3:2? Many of these issues have already been discussed/debated - we just need to pull them together. The interaction of the fixed width, height, and aspect ratio don't work as I expect. Should I open bug reports or can you clarify if/how they should interact. i.e. if I enter a height and width, should the aspect ratio automatically recalculate - does it matter if any of the three are checked or not? Rectangle controls are always in pixels (except for XY coords.) even if the default unit of measure is inches - is this intended. Not a problem for me, but might be an issue for some. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Re: [Gimp-developer] mock ups for vanishing point
Pedro,In the 2nd mockup, it didn't look like one could resize the perspective selection. Will there be center anchors to easily resize the perspective? Or better yet (I think) have the perspective apply to the whole image. i.e. select the perspective from a small section of the image. Then borrowing on Jakub's suggestion, have multiple perspective definitions as in the path tool. Perhaps enhance the path tool with an option for a path to be declared a perspective definition. Is what I'm getting at clear? If not I could try a mock up myself.
