gDynText 1.5.0-RC2

[Marco Lamberto]

Hi GIMPers!
I'm actually working on a new release of my plug-in, I've succesfully
integrated the gtk_font_selection with my font_slection widget even if
externally nothing seems to be changed!!
I hope this will be a BIG NEWS for everybody here was waiting for a better
support for font choosing in this plug-in (specially for the font encoding)! ;)
Actually 1.5.0-RC2 is totally incompatible with previous releases of gDynText,
but I've planned to re-add the compatibilty routines into the final release.
I've finally dropped the support for gimp 1.0.x series and cutted every
unecessary #ifdef block. ;)

Is there someone so brave to dare testing it for a while? ;)
You could download it from:


If everything works fine and no serious bugs will be found, I hope to release
the final 1.5.0 by the end of this week.
Happy GIMPing!
Marco

P.S. Please, could anyone update the PLUGIN_MAINTAINERS file into the CVS tree
in order to add me (Marco Lamberto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) as the maintainer of
gdyntext? ;)
Thanks in advance. ;)

What do you want to do? Do you want to replace white by transparency? This
is easy (not only in perl-fu, btw), just use plug_in_colortoalpha, e.g.:

$layer->colortoalpha(WHITE);

If you just want to replace a specific colour index (e.g. in an indexed
image) you can also use select_by_color and selection_clear.

This usually suffices: "$layer->add_alpha".

A copyright notice has not much to do with the license in most parts of
the world. According to the Berne convention (something the US has signed
but not ratified yet for example) anything you find which doesn't have an
explicit license mustn't be used, looked at, copied etc..., thus giving
authors a maximum of assurance.

The problem, of course, will be S&P, which are very difficult to
contact. It took quite a long time until I had the license changed from
GPL to LGPL for a single file in libgimp, so whoever weants the license
changed should act soon ;)

guash is quite nice. it mimics xv's visual schnauzer (the best image
browsing interface, if you ask me ;) and it very useful in the cited
problem of perusing multiple xcf files that are different versions of the
same image.

Actually it indicates there are no rights to use the file granted at all!

Perl-fu - transparent colour

[Gunjan Kapoor]

Hi,
Could someone help me out with this. I need to specify a transparent
colour for the entire image. Is that possible with Perl-fu. e.g: specify
white as the transparent colour.
Additionally, I need to make the background transparent for a
programmatically generated image. The image contains only one drawable.
I've tried adding an alpha channel programmatically but perhaps did not
know the proper procedure and the desired results were not achieved.
TIA
Gunjan
