 As far as I know .xvpics directories are used to store previews.

Correct, also called thumbnails.  I think it's more og less
a standard developed by the XV-team.  I like GIMP being able
to make use of it.  It's simple small images (in some
obscure format =) saved in a hidden directory called .xvpics.

However, GIMP can be told to stop saving new thumbnails
somewhere in the preferences menu.  Sorry, I cannot help
you further because I haven't installed GIMP on my new Debian
system yet.

I recall using DOS pkunzip to unzip a sfx made with WinZIP

winzip and that I needed Windows.  But good 'ol pkunzip
did it under DOS anyway.

  Exactly.  How do I do that? =)
 
 Use the scale tool or "Image-Scale Image". The answer is so obvious that
 I still don't think this is what you wanted to know?

And that won't stretch it like any ordinary (paint brush)
graphics tool would?

I mean an "intelligent" stretch tool.  Like you said, not
just repeat the same pixels.

 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
 number of pixels in my image so that the extra pixels are interpolated,
 rather than simply repeated?"

Exactly.  How do I do that? =)

Re: how do I make anti-aliased transparent gif?

2000-06-29 Thread Stephan Henningsen

I don't remember exactly where it is, but there's a
Stroke option somewhere.  I think it's in /tools.

It will draw along your selection with the current brush.
If you select a nice, smooth brush, and stroke,
and do your fill afterwards, I think you get the result,
you're looking for.

 Is there a plugin/script that I could use, to slice a particular image into
 6 or 7 parts, then assign a URL to each piece.

You can pull out red/blue dashed lines from both the
horizontal and vertical ruler of your image.  The
(rectangular) selection tool will then snap to these.
This should make it easy for you to slice your image.
The snap-lines are even saved with the XCF-format.

[GIMP] GUM and IS

2000-04-13 Thread Stephan Henningsen

The GUM says that if I double click the Intelligent Scissors
tool, I get a box where I can convert the selection to
beizer curves.  But my gimp (GIMP version 1.1.10) doesn't
have that option; only feather and treshold.

Does 1.1.19 have this function?  Are there any other reason
for me to upgrade?
