with regards to the Alpha - Transparency issue...
Stick with alpha add a glossary to the help menu to describe the meaning
of any terms that the user has not across before.

[Gimp-developer] Film gimp Vs Gimp....

2002-12-23 Thread Danni Coy
I think it best that Filmgimp do its own thing for the time being I
personally use both... If there where any merging I would suggest the
1.3.x branch than the 1.2.x branch simply because the code in the 1.3
branch is so much easier to work with (I say that as someone who is
almost completely unfamiliar with the code).

I think that filmgimp want to meet your 16 bit + requirements NOW
not when Gimp 1.4 or 2.0 rolls out.

Once 1.4 is out and the move comes for 2.0 I would sincerly hope that
both projects could merge (at least in back end functionality) as I
suspect that Filmgimp will have many industry specific patches
incorperated...

There _is_ a glossary in the Help menu (well, at least last time I 
checked).

[Gimp-developer] A more flexible last values system for the pdb

2002-12-23 Thread Nathan Carl Summers
Note: this message is crossposted to gimp-developer because several
developers interested in libpdb are not subscribed to libpdb-developer.
Please do not send followups to gimp-developer.

I've been thinking about a better way to implement the
RUN_WITH_LAST_VALUES functionality in libpdb.  The current method is
annoying and kludgy.  Depending on the first value passed to a procedure,
the number and meaning of the parameters change, and the scheme is not
readily generalizable.  It is also not possible for other procedures to
manipulate the values used, which would be desirable for macro recorders
and plug-in adaptors that run on multiple images.

I suggest the following:
* we add a subfunction field to PdbProc, which is NULL for the main
function.  The interactive version would use interactive for the
subfunction.

* to call a plugin interactively, first call its interactive
subfunction.  The interactive subfunction will return a list of
arguments to be used in the call to the main function.

What do you think?

Re: [Gimp-developer] A Free Software project of interest.

2002-12-23 Thread Robert L Krawitz
   Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2002 19:52:57 +
   From: Nick Lamb [EMAIL PROTECTED]

   Personally I think The GIMP has been exploited (not by any projects
   with the name 'GIMP' in them, I hasten to add) more than enough as
   it is. If someone has a proposal that requires more relaxed
   licensing then let them bring forth the proposal FIRST. So far I'm
   not very happy with the results of re-licensing and would be loathe
   to permit any further erosion.

As the lead for one of those non-exploitive projects that uses GIMP
in the name, I concur.

We've never seriously considered relicensing Gimp-print.  We've also
never gotten any serious pressure to; commercial vendors (in
particular, Epson) have no trouble with the GPL license.  I'd
personally rather not LGPL any of it because even the low level
infrastructure could be useful for, say, a printer vendor that wanted
to create a proprietary driver.  I'd also really rather somebody not
write, say, a proprietary dither algorithm and try to sell the package
without source.

I take a rather dim view of those who believe that there's some kind
of inherent right to take communal code, make improvements, and then
redistribute the combination in proprietary fashion (Microsoft in
particular, but they're not the only ones).  I'm rather more
sympathetic to those who have something that's truly free source, but
incompatible with the GPL for some minor reason, but it's not clear to
me how to solve that problem.

[Gimp-developer] Alpha channels

2002-12-23 Thread Robert L Krawitz
1) How do I create an image with an alpha channel (and set the value
   of the alpha channel)?  This is specifically so I can test alpha
   channel handling in Gimp-print.  Specifically, I want to move the
   alpha channel handling (and the color map handling, but that's a
   lot easier) out of libgimpprint and into the plugin.

2) It appears that thumbnail images (via
   gimp_image_get_thumbnail_data) always contain an alpha channel
   (unfortunately, this isn't really what I want for (1)).  Is there a
   reason this is the case, or am I missing something?

file - new - fill type = transparent.

Ever convert an rgb image to rgba? All the alpha for every pixel = 1.0. Its
probably the same thing here.
