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/

Dominic.

Bit of a delay but I never noticed any answer to this.

I don't know if there are any rpms available but GtkXmHTML is part of the perl
module Gtk-Perl which is available on CPAN http://www.perl.com/ .

Your best bet is to update using Mandrake rpms which are optimized for
performance on your system !

ftp.atik.ciril.fr in the pub/mandrake-developer/cooker/mandrake/rpms folder
(or similar) is one place to look for them.

Re: Compiling problem 1.1.26

2000-09-30 Thread Dominic Knight

I have been having a similar problem, try

make distclean
./configure
make &>log

I don't know if this will work for you but it seems to for me. I would be very
interested if you let me know the result.

Good Luck,
Dominic

Re: compile gimp-1.1.26 (error)

2000-09-29 Thread Dominic Knight

I did make distclean but the same happens. I attached listing (hopefully).
Would dropping in the gimp-1.201 blib/lib/Gimp.PM file into the gimp/blib/lib
directory cure this or is this not the same gimp.pm that it is looking for ?
I didn't fetch my tarball from CVS, I fetched it from
ftp://gimp.org/pub/unstable/126 (or similar) so no egeneration errors !
Thanks for the assistance,
Dominic

Re: gimp perl plug-ins gimp-1.201 compile failure

2000-09-29 Thread Dominic Knight

Try CPAN or your local mirror of it, it is perl and I believe authored by
Marc Lehmann (if I spelled it right) so a search for either of those should
turn it up.
I used http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/mod_perl/cpan-search?dist=Gimp-1.201
to come up with my copy.
Regards,
Dominic.

compile gimp-1.1.26 (error)

2000-09-28 Thread Dominic Knight

Hi, I'm trying to compile gimp-1.1.26 and it fails with the following error,

make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/gimp-1.1.26/plug-ins/perl/po'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../blib/lib/Gimp.pm', needed by `gimp-perl.pot'.  
Stop.

I retried gimp-1.1.24 and 1.1.25 and they both compile fine.

Cheers,
Dominic.
