Re: Smoothing gradient Q...
It was Fri, 12 Jan 2001 13:57:16 +0100, when you spake, JG JG I notice the banding doesn't take place if I use the gradient red pipe JG plugin. It renders it and all gradients flawless. Just the standard... JG JG Any other thing you can think of s appreciated. It sort of ruins what JG I'm doing and so causes massive depression, loss of appetite, etc. JG JG Thanks for the feedback. JG JG Jonathan are you starting the gradient about an inch in from the edge of the page by chance? if so, try starting the gradient on the edge of the layer (or outside the layer). this might be from the all-to-obvious department, but who knows? -- Nusbaum's Rule: The more pretentious the corporate name, the smaller the organization.

Nope, on the edge and in about 2 inches on my 17 inch monitor. But I think the problem involves my saving it to jpg. That's when I see the problem. In the original it's not there. So, if that is it, is there any way around it? I tried putting a blur on it, etc, nothing. Thanks for the feedback. Jonathan

Hi Jonathan, Alien is an appropriate name... :-) I have arrived to an dead end when trying to compile gimp-1.2.0 under my Openlinux 2.3. The rpm package I got was packaged with rpm-4.0.x (I think it is part of Red Hat distribution) and I can not open it. :-( I will have to look for another RPM package of gimp-1.2.0, if you know of any place where to find them I will appreciate if you email me.

session managment?
Hi, I heard that Gimp has it's own session managment, i.e. the windows are placed at the same positions I placed them bevore I closed the gimp. This doesn't work on my computer (SuSE 7.0 and Gimp 1.2). What must I do to get it right?

Re: session managment?
I am pretty sure that the window manager can override the gimps windows. When my gimp window problems irritate me enough, that's where I am going to start, with the window manager.

GIF, JPG and many other formats are like working in 16 bit screen. Use PNG if you want compression but keep colors nicely. This thing is becoming boring (sorry but day after day the lossy compression thing appears... is there not a FAQ somewhere or what?). What is the best file type to use? GIF only supports 256 colours. lossless compression (lzw patented). supports basic animation. One colour may be set to transparent. Useful for: Text, images/icons with few colours but sharp detail. Animations. Not good for highly detailed work with many colours. JPEG(JFIF) 24 bit colour, lossy compression, no transparency support, can blur sharp detail. Useful for photographs, highly detailed artwork. Not really suited to Internet use. PNG Supprts 256 colour, 16 bit greyscale, 48 bit true-colour. lossless compression (no patent), alpha channels with varying degrees of transparency, better interlacing, most cases compression is better than gif Useful for most things. 256 colour non dithered for web graphics, 48bit for photographic work, Does not support animations (what's happend to MNG ?). Not a FAQ but for a detailed discussion of the PNG format, one of the better resources is the W3C, try http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-png-multi.html or their frontdoor at http://www.w3.org/ Regards, Dominic. And is there a file type that can keep work in progress? ie Five layers open for editing later? Gimp native format is .xcf.bz2, .xcf.gz or .xcf (aka .xcf compressed or not). IMHO .xcf.bz2 if your machine is fast, .xcf.gz if not, .xcf if you want to waste HD. GSR

That just some kind of geometry setting, isn't it? IIRC window manager can force anything into apps, and X into window manager. So decission chain from who has more power to less is X - wm - app. If you save position with window manager, then app will be unable to put window where it wants (and similar for size, colors and other things).

Unoffical Gimp 1.2 packages for Debian Potato
I have built Gimp 1.2 packages for Debian Potato systems that have Ximian Gnome installed (Ximian was formerly known as Helix Code). I've put a link to the Ximian installation directions (really just a line to add to /etc/apt/sources.list) up along with the gimp 1.2 packages at: http://www.cerc.utexas.edu/~andrewk/gimp (My packages depend on Ximian Gnome because all the x86 Debian Potato systems I have access to have Ximian installed, and one dependency ends up being on a Ximian-versioned package when I build gimp. Also, Ximian Gnome happens to include libgtk 1.2.8, which is required for Gimp-1.2 - straight Potato only has 1.2.7). later, Andrew
Re: Q: Recommended graphics cards?
What would one consider with the Gimp, and not games, in mind? What card and what amount of ram? I would first look at the www.xfree86.org web site, and make sure that any graphics card I choose if supported by XFree86 drivers AND NOT MANUFACTURERS DRIVERS! Aside from blowing the whole concept of "open software", you never know when a manufacturer will decide "this isn't worth it", and bail on you. Once you have a list of cards in mind, I woud choose the one with the highest RAMDAC (clock speed) and memory your budget allows. Matrox cards and Riva TNT based cards seem to be well supported, if you are looking for specific recommendations. Bruce

compile problems
Does anybody know the meaning of either of these compiler errors when compiling gimp-1.2.0 on Sparc/Solaris 7? "/usr/local/include/glib.h", line 1328: va_start: argument mismatch "Lib.xs", line 346: undefined control I guess my real question is: Is it possible to get a successful compile on this platform? I have been trying since the earliest developer release. When/if I get it running it will be the most expensive software I have ever installed. Thanks for any suggestions... Glen Jackson
