[Gimp-user] minimize the main toolbox?
Is it possible to either minimize the toolbox or have an image window in front of the toolbox. I am using the GIMP as a digital whiteboard with a digitizing tablet (Wacom Bamboo) for my lectures. I would like to write on an image that fills as much of the screen as possible and would like the toolbox to be either behind the current image or minimized. It is not obvious to me how to make it not be on top. Thanks, Ryan ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Latest version issue...
This is more of a technical question. I hope I'm not off topic. Apologies in advance if I am... I have several windows XP machines running Gimp 2.6 successfully. We use a custom script to make specific sizes for our web site. The script runs fine with an exception on one machine. The machine is still running Gimp 2.2. The scripts run fine under 2.2. When I remove 2.2 and install 2.6 the Gimp runs fine but the script (running fine on other 2.6 machines) fails with an error. I'm wondering if there's an old dll or something that's confusing things since the script runs fine on every other machine. Any suggestions for a solution besides simply staying on 2.2?

Re: [Gimp-user] minimize the main toolbox?
Use the TAB key, which toggles visibility of the toolbox and other dockable dialogs. And use F11 to fill the screen with the image window. You can even remove the menu bar, scrolling bars, and status bar, and have an image which really fills the screen. -- Olivier Lecarme ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] minimize the main toolbox?
Thanks. I got several responses - but they are sent to me and not the list. I never knew the tab key toggled the visibility of the toolbox. Thanks!

Olivier, Use the TAB key, which toggles visibility of the toolbox and other dockable dialogs. And use F11 to fill the screen with the image window. You can even remove the menu bar, scrolling bars, and status bar, and have an image which really fills the screen. Those are some nifty shortcut keys. That might also explain why sometimes I have lost my toolbox. I guess that this has happened after I used the tab key for some action within GIMP. Then I might have meant ALT+TAB (to switch windows) instead, but forgot to press ALT and my toolbox is gone... Do you know whether there is a list of these key combinations online somewhere ? I would expect these to be in the GIMP's user manual, but I cannot seem to find them. http://docs.gimp.org/en/key-reference.html is as close as I could find. However, it would be nice when there would be one pages with all of these useful GIMP commands.

[Gimp-user] Script-Fu Exceptions and errors
Hello list, I am planning on evolving image transformations using an AST of the script-fu langauge and generating random (but syntatically correct) scripts.

[Gimp-user] convert an image into an outline
I have an image roughly 600 px square which in which the picture was taken on a white-ish background. I managed to crop it well enough to now have a silhouette of the object, black object on white background. Is there a way to convert it to an outline, say with a 1-3 pixel border?

Re: [Gimp-user] Script-Fu Exceptions and errors
Update:
1) The question regarding exceptions remains - there are too many
corner cases, mostly undocumented, so it would be nice to ignore them
silently.
2) I see my fix was almost right but I forgot to take the head of the list:
(car (gimp-image-get-active-drawable image)) is what I want, not the
no-longer-existing layer0 or the whole list returned by
gimp-image-get-active-{layer,drawable}.
3) I still get things like the message below, so same question.

Hi, for...@gimpusers.com (2009-11-24 at 2113.32 +0100): hello there i am a blender user i i wanted to create a texture for bumomap/normal map in gimp i tryed the noise filter but this is not what i need You have to combine it with other things. ;] i am modeling a camera see camera real image here http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40/images/d40-18-55mm-top-big.jpg u can see that the camera material have little bumps with different shapes in each little bump how can i generate a texture like this in gimp You can probably do it in Blender too, using clouds texture, custom colour gradients, etc. But in Gimp: - new white image. - rgb noise filter, move sliders to max so you get lots of dots. - desaturate (lightness one is fine, try others if you want). - blur (normal one will do here). - curves, make a _/ curve , the histogram should show a sharp spike on the right side like /\, I placed the curve parallel to the left side of spike (x 162, y 0 and x 183, y 255, approx). This leaves you with some random black spots. - guassian blur, 1-2 pixels to smooth. - invert if you need the bump map that way. As last note, I decided the dot density was too low, so before invert I duplicated the layer, offset it, and put it in multiply mode. Next would be making the result tileable (plenty of tutorials about this, most just forget that you should use offset multiple times different values, otherwise you will have zones that are hard to touch up).

Re: [Gimp-user] minimize the main toolbox?
Hi, there are a lot of useful hints in the Tips of the Day dialog, hidden in the Help menu. Perhaps you guys want to enable the Tips of the Day feature and learn some more nice things about GIMP. One of the tips would have been this one: If your screen is too cluttered, you can press Tab in an image window to toggle the visibility of the toolbox and other dialogs.

Re: [Gimp-user] Script-Fu Exceptions and errors
Update 2:
1) Exceptions
The macro (not sure of the underlying primitives) catch will catch
errors. The web page didn't even call them exceptions, which explains
why I/google didn't find it quickly.
Ex: when converting an image that might already be RGB to RGB:
(catch (gimp-image-convert-rgb image))
2) The layer issue
As stated before, an earlier command was obliterating my layer and I
forgot to take the head of the get-active-{layer,drawable} in my later
operations.
3) Assertation failures and segfaults
The assertation failures are probably somehow connected with my layer
merging - not that it is good to be able to hit this so easily. I
also found a segfault, do to out of range arguments, since my previous
post and see that this doesn't crash the program - so its running in a
different thread or processs I guess. Not sure if I can catch this
with catch, if I can't then I'll have to fix these corner cases.
Perhaps I'll make some patches for the function documentation if
people are interested.
