Hi all,

Has anybody written any scripts of generating tab type of images? Is
anybody interested in writing such scripts?

draw a simple shape

2000-09-20 Thread Axel R.

Hi all, 
I'm try to draw a rectangle with rounded corner in a perl plug-in.

How do this ?

I've think about GFig, but :
- Gfig doesn't draw rectangle with rounded corner
- I don't know if we can call gfig in a perl plug-in

I've try to add a selection with shape border, but it's blur...

How do this ?

I think perhaps my original posting was misunderstood. By "tabs" I meant
the sort of tabs that one sees on tabbed dialog boxes (or property
sheets) in GUIs, the effect of which people have tried to recreate on the
web by using images.

I did not mean image galleries :-). I should have explained myself more
carefully :-).

Looking for an image

2000-09-20 Thread Jim Clark

GIMP related in that I will work on the image in GIMP.

I am seeking an image I can use freely on our company Intranet. I have
scoured my CDs and the web for over an hour so far, but have been unable
to find a good image of a red English phone box with no people in it. 
If someone has such an image, and could send it to me, or point me to
where I can find it, I'd be very grateful.

Microsoft has got something called Live Clipart Gallery on microsoft.com
(http://cgl.microsoft.com/clipgallerylive/default.asp?nEULA=1nInterface=0)
where you can find pictures/illustrations/etc (the pics are usually of very
high quality). These pictures are free to use, they are very small though
(which is where they make money, larger size costs money :) but i've often
used them.

Just do a phonebooth search and you'll probably find something useful, the
People category is very useful too.

How soon do you need the image?  I would be happy to run take a picture of
a red english phone booth on my lunch break.

I'm in Houston TX but we have imported some of the phone booths and placed
them around the Upper Kirby district.

The images would be available tonight, just say the word.

I happened to jump over and check a few out.  Unless I'm missing
something, their some funky format *.cil, which GIMP does not
recognize.  There are references to using them in Office

The best I could do was to right click the thumbnail.  Then I noticed
that if you select the image, you're provided yet another larger gif
image in a separate window.  You can right click that image and download
it.

By the way, not that I need one, but I did a search for phonebooth and
nothing was returned.

 Neither "blow up" nor "stretch pixels" are well-defined terms. What do you
 mean by them?
 
 I would assume that the intended question here is "How do I increase the

Exactly.  How do I do that? =)

(just to nitpick, when you blow up an image, the pixels are interpolated,
not repeated. That's why it looks blury. Without anti-aliasing you do get
repitition. What gimp does (more or less) is a simple liniar interpolation
to find out what inbetween colors are. IE if you have a black box on white,
when you double the size you'll end up with a grey line between the black
and white because that pixel would map to between a black and a white
pixel.)


 Exactly.  How do I do that? =)

I think the ting to do is scale up normally, then use something like unsharp
mask to get some detail back. I remember seeing a link (perhaps from this
list) that was to information on unsharp mask and an even better shaprening
filter someone had made.

That improved sharpening filter was warp sharp.  

Checkit:

I should also mention that I would scale things up only as a last
resort.  If possible re photograph or re scan at a higher resolution.

Nothing fancy, just a bunch of pix of a red phone booth.  I apologize
for the sky being all blown out.  I should have shot some with
fill-flash and a different exposure in hopes of getting blue sky. 

You'll need to  use Gimp to sharpen, scale, and crop things down to web
size.  I didn't know your output size so I shot big.  Better to have too
much image to work with than too little.

Feel free to use 'em if you see something you like.  I only ask that you

 Hello.

 Is there any quick way in GIMP to swap
 black and white colors in an imported
 color image?

 I have a .tif image (generated by another
 program) which I want to send to my
 printer.  The .tif image consists of a
 color graph superimposed on a black
 background.  The black background covers
 most of the image.  The graph is labeled
 by white text which appears superimposed
 on the black background.  The reason I
 want to swap black and white is that
 currently when I send this plot to my
 printer, a ton of ink gets used up in
 printing the black background.  (I am
 going to be generating a bunch of these
 plots, so it would be nice to have a
 way to swap black and white.)


Here's how I'd do it:
Edit-select by color
Select the black color. Copy it to the clipboard.
Select the white color. Fill it in black or invert the color (same effect).
Paste the black from the clipboard, invert the color (image-colors-invert
I think). Finally, line things up if the paste didn't go where it's supposed
to.
