Re: [Gimp-developer] Plug-in problem

2001-05-08 Thread Lourens Veen

What platform are you on? I presume a form of Windows given that you
have a task manager, but what version?

It would help if you could tell us what box pops up. Does it have a title?
Can you please give an exact description of what you are doing?!

It is reachable and we received your mails.

Which means that one of the addresses the mails get forwarded too is

Re: [Gimp-developer] Reproducible LOCK UP

 I have found a reproducible lockup in 1.2.1.
 I've had a look for the reason myself, but I'm not getting very far.
 So if anyone else can find it, that would be good.
 
 STEPS to reproduce the lockup.
 
 1. Start the gimp.
 2. Double click on the eraser tool to bring up tool options.
 3. Select hard edged
 4. Click Close
 5. Single click on the pencil tool.

I cannot reproduce this using Gimp 1.2 under Windows 98SE.

HTH,

Re: [Gimp-developer] Plug-in problem

Do you get any messages in the window that Gimp was started in?
If you start the application through a menu item these msgs
are usually lost, so try to start the Gimp from a terminal
window and see if you get more information.

[Gimp-developer] Types of Mathematical Art (was ANNOUNCE: Mandelbrot Invert 1 and 2 plug-ins)

2001-05-08 Thread Stan Schwartz

Tom Rathborne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
You are into fractals, huh?

Yes, in part, but not in a conventional way.  I'm interested in working at 
the boundary between mathematical and representational art, and in 
particular in finding new ways to use mathematics to transform 
representation.  This is in contrast to other fractal software I've seen 
that either uses mathematics to create representation, e.g., IFSCompose, or 
that never intends to create other other than mathematical art, e.g., 
FractalExplorer.  My Mandelbrot Invert plug-ins apply the Mandelbrot set 
to recolor an existing image, which may have been representational, leaving 
the existing image still visible at the end.  You can view other examples 
of digital art I've created by writing and applying mathematical algorithms 
to transform representation, in this case my own scanned, conventional, 
figurative paintings, at the gallery page at my web site, 
http://www.stanschwartzmeta-arts.com/art.html.  My digital art 
collections are accessible from the bottom of the scrolling thumbnails 
frame at the left side of the page.  These include applying linear affine 
transformations through IFS or MRCM algorithms (another kind of fractal) to 
repeatedly rescale, translate, rotate, and reflect arbitrary images into 
self-similar, fractal representations of themselves.  Another example is 
applying displacements derived from strange attractor time series equations 
(HŽnon, Lorentz, and Rossler) to stretch images.  Though the behavior of 
these difference or differential equations is chaotic (based on parameter 
settings), I've found that if I keep close enough to the starting point (in 
terms of iterations) then the displacements are small eough that output 
images are still recognizable as a transformed versions of the input, which 
I find aesthetically pleasing.  I may or may not rewrite these and other 
image transformation algorithms I develop into GIMP plug-ins, depending on 
how my career and time availability goes.  I am in the process of 
undergoing a career change from expert systems programmer to conventional 
artist to attempting to find work as a full-time graphics algorithm 
designer/computational artist.

Note that I'm not trying to put down other kinds of mathematical art.  My 
interest is in defining a niche for myself that best reflects my background 
(both artistic and mathematical), personality and interests.  I'd also like 
to mention that my Penn address, [EMAIL PROTECTED], is a rarely 
attended legacy account and that I prefer receiving mail at my new address, 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  I would have posted from there, but 
xcf.berkeley.edu bounced my messages as being unable to find my client 
host. I assure you it exists.

Thanks and take care,

[Gimp-developer] Re: [GIMPI] Unwanted blurring Side-effect

2001-05-08 Thread Lourens Veen

I tried it, and it looks very wrong indeed. Try creating the circle,
then blurring at 48x48, then using treshold. The circle has changed into
a weird shape. I took a look at the gaussian blur plugin but was unable
to positively identify a bug. I do however have an idea as to what might
be happening: gimp only takes pixels into account within a rectangle
enclosing the selection. Pixels inside the rectangle but outside the
selection are taken into account as if they have a colour of 128, 128,
128, pixels outside the rectangle are not counted at all. Therefor, if
you consider a pixel at the top of the circle, the gaussian blur is
calculated by taking into account the white pixels inside the circle,
and a few grey ones that are outside the circle but inside the bounding
rectangle. Compare this to a pixel on the edge at 45 degrees along the
circle, now we take into account the same amount of white pixels from
the inside of the circle (the gaussian filter is circular so it's the
overlapping area is equally large), but many more grey pixels inside the
bounding box but outside the circle, resulting in a darker colour.

A solution if this turns out to be the case would be to enlarge the
bounding rectangle on all sides by the blur radius, or to simply count
pixels outside the bounding box as 128, 128, 128 as well.

I've CC'd this mail to the gimp-developer mailinglist, hopefully the
maintainer of the plugin or one of the Gimp developers can shed a light
on this. I'll send a summary of the replies on gimp-developer to GimpI
to keep everybody informed.

 Hi all,
 
 Try the following :
 
 (1) Create a new image with a black background;
 (2) Draw a circle from the center and fill with white;
 (3) Leave the circular selection on;
 (4) Gaussian Blur IIR, using 48x48;
 (5) Repeat blur with 24x24;
 (6) Repeat blur with 12x12.
 
 The result is that you get a nasty side-effect. Instead of blurring
 evenly (radially), it leaves a bump on the top, bottom, left and right
 extremities of the white circle (see attached).
 
 What is causing this, and how can it be rectified ?

 Andrew

Re: [Gimp-developer] Gimp 1.2.1 IRIX 6.5 Startup Error: GLib-ERROR **: could not allocate -1580979376 bytes

 After compiling gimp succesfully on an SGI box (IRIX 6.5) I get the
 following startup error

Sorry for being a bit slow, but I believe you've run into a compiler bug
in MIPSpro cc... It doesn't clear structs correctly according to the C
specification when there are insufficient initializers for a struct. I
ran into this bug with MIPSpro 7.2.1.3m and it works with
7.3.1.something (don't remember exactly and I don't have access to that
machine now).

Apply this patch to your glib:
