[Gimp-user] Text-on-path not visible in .jpg or .png exports

[Jogchum Reitsma]

Hi,

Using GIMP 2.8.16 on openSuse Tumbleweed, I try to draw some
text-on-path on a photo-image. In itself that is easy and successful,
but when I want to export this to .png or .jpg, the photo is exported,
but the text is not visible.

In the preview of the export it is, but not in the final result.

Funny thing - at least for me - is that the text doesn't seem to sit on
a layer - if I make both layers (the one with the original text, not yet
placed on a path, and the one with the photo-image) invisible, the
text-on-path is still visible.

Probably I do something wrong, but can anyone point me to what that
might be?

thanks and regards,

Jogchum Reitsma

Sorry, I meant to hide the whole tab area for each tab, including the icon, the
name, the tab itself, and the tab configuration arrow.

>Just hit the "tab" key.

I don't want to hide the whole interface, just the tabs.

Never been good at vocalizing. Perhaps I could try visualizing a bit. I want to
turn this:

Into something like this:

The Tabs also serve as grabbing area for rearranging the dockables. If
they are hidden rearranging the dockables is no longer possible.

It probably is possible to find a solution for all these details, but
I'd like to see a consistent proposal that takes the existing
functionality into account.

 Simon

My apologies if I don't understand the real topic of this thread. But I 
think it's about having the option to not show the image tabs at the top 
in single window mode.


I don't use single-window mode, and one reason why I don't use single 
window mode is because the tabs are really big and there's no way to 
hide them so the image can take up more space vertically. Those tabs 
result in wasted screen real estate.


If there were a way to hide the tabs, then to switch images, the user would:

1. right-click to bring up the menu bar (assuming the menu bar is not 
already shown - I hide the menu bar even in multi-window mode to provide 
more vertical screen real estate)


2. click on the desired image.

Or else use alt-# to switch between image windows.

Best,
Elle

I would expect it to be a global setting that would hide all tabs (These whole
sections: http://i.imgur.com/rfIPNAQ.png) that would also un-hide them.

But how would that work? When these tabs are not there - how would it be
visible that there are other tabs beneath it, and how would you switch
to one of the tabs beneath?

Could just hide single tabs and keep regions that have multiple tabs revealed.

Like I said, it would most likely be a toggle-able option in the preferences or
even in the 'view' menu that could be toggled. Doesn't that seem acceptable?

The text you see is a "Path". It is an indication like the marching ants 
you see for the selection. It has to be stroked (Edit>Stroke path) or 
filled (Select>From path and bucket-fill selection) to become 
"physically" part of the image.

[Gimp-user] Please help, small problem.

[Paul Oram]

I am pretty good with computers, in fact I built one and have used it till
this day. That's beside the point, I enjoy having a few hobbies and art is
one of them so I found the true potential of Gimp, plus it was free. I've
drawn a couple of things but am having difficulties. I want to mirror my
image vertically, you know like symmetry so that when I draw it happens on
the other side as well. Well, I've seen videos on it but my only problem is
that I can't find the option for symmetry because it's not where it should
be. I did download the latest version of Gimp and run Windows 10, so I don't
know what's happening but I could really use that option. If I'm being
stupid, don't be afraid to tell me so, but I would enjoy some advice and
help please.

Paul,

Painting with mirror symmetry hasn't landed to any GIMP release yet.
Hopefully it will make it to 2.10.

No. The default appears to be "Automatic" and hence the text is displayed when 
there is space to do so.

Pass! But I have to bow to your greater knowledge.

All I can say, after a number of years using GIMP under Windows and in
single window mode, I've no idea what the default on a new install 
would be.

I can say that now if I add any tabs that are not in my default set, 
they appear with "icon and text" and it's only those I know I have 
used before that appear icon only.

[Gimp-user] getting x/y coordinates from simple lines

[peter]

hi,




i would like to get coordinates for pictures that look like EKG-Diagrams
example: http://www.clker.com/cliparts/U/3/3/c/2/t/ekg-black-hi.png

the resolution i need should be enough to recreate the image with 
mathplotlib and have it look almost identical...for the human eye.


a x/y output in a csv format or something like that would be great.

do you guys have any idea how to accomplish that?
the pictures i read in will be "made by hand", but they will have a pure 
white / pure black so working with opencv should also be possible
but i guess theres a easier solution in gimp, i wont work with that much 
image material.



found this script that is supposed to work with gimp:
http://gimp-path-tools.sourceforge.net/tools.shtml#path-csv


installed it according to http://gimp-path-tools.sourceforge.net/ (on 
the right)

copying, setting executable...


now it  should show up in the right click menu when creating a path...
but when i create a path in my image and right click on it i dont even 
see the word "path" in the popup menu...where can i find it?

Or, as he refers specifically to "tab names" when explaining "hide

EPS is a vector graphics format while GIMP is a raster graphics editor.
For best results, please try using a vector editor such as Inkscape, or

1. Right click on a path in the Paths dialog

2. Tools -> CSV -> Export CSV

But I have a feeling you'd rather use something like this:

Re: [Gimp-user] getting x/y coordinates from simple lines

[Ofnuts]

When properly installed it will show up there:

http://imgur.com/1rsE1tW

However, you have to create the path manually first with the path 
editor, with enough sampling points. The paths Gimp will create from the 
selection will likely not have enough points, it is however possible 
with a Bezier curves library to interpolate the exported values.


PM me directly if you need more help.

Bonus: the CSV for the images, paths created by Gimp:
