 Anyway, probably you did not search
 for a long time, since on page 87, Figure 3.125 is named Drawing a
 straight line. A subsection of the same title begins on page 85.

Re: [Gimp-user] Book of GIMP

2015-05-14 Thread Olivier
You're perfectly right about the meaning of the name, and I'm sorry for my
absentmindedness. Which does not change the fact that image drawing is not
the most fundamental usage of GIMP, and that the author of the initial
message did not look seriously in the book.

Re: [Gimp-user] Book of GIMP

2015-05-14 Thread Steve Lett
I would like to offer my apologies to Oliver. I was a little hasty in my
comments on how to draw lines. It is in the index under Drawing, with
paths. But that did not appear immediately obvious because I was looking
for lines. It appears I WAS mistaken!

And a little explanation about my other comment, That's a hell of a
price... I actually paid $73.90 australian money and for me that is a big
outlay. I am on a pension with a disability.

But on a positive note. I really am pleased with the book and I appreciate
very much the work that went into its making! Even if I have minor things I
would have written differently.

Sorry to make a second answer to this message: do you really think that
$49.95 ($32.93 on Amazon) is such a hell of a price for a book of 674
pages in full color, who gave work to two authors for three years? When you
filled the tank of your car the last time, how much did you pay?

2015-05-14 2:48 GMT+02:00 Steve Lett steve.lett...@gmail.com:

 Hi everyone!

 I'm a brand new user of Gimp and I am not off to a good start.

 I purchased the Book of GIMP by Olivier Lecarme recently. When I tried to
 find how to draw lines I could not find it anywhere in the book. You would
 think that in a book about how to make graphics it would be reasonable to
 expect a clear and detailed description of how to draw lines of various
 types? Yes?

 In chapter 3 it starts out telling you how to fill in the lines with colour
 etc. But I think they should have started at the beginning with drawing the
 lines. What do you think? Thats a hell of a price to pay for a book and not
 find the basics in it, hey?

 Am I mistaken?

 Much appreciated in advance, Leonardo Paradox
