Re: [Gimp-developer] Help a newbie fill in some holes
I want to thank everyone who responded. The AutoRotate script does what I want, pretty much. I am studying Scheme, which looks adequate to handle my desire for drawing shapes to call out parts of screen captures. Afterwards, I plan to start trying to comprehend the GIMP project, which seems necessary for drawing arrows. I'm finding the documentation difficult. I don't mean that I don't understand the vast amount of work put into it nor the completeness of what's there. I think my problem is more a matter of a beginner being overwhelmed by the size and the number of choices. What I've found very helpful in other projects of this type is a community wiki, where a beginner like me can submit a here's how I took my first step tutorial. The problem is the first steps are incomprehensible until you take them, then they become trivial. People who know the project can't really think up the questions, although they are the ones with the answers. (Rereading that, I hope it makes sense to someone besides me). Just for the record, I've been using GIMP almost exclusively these days and hopefully will be contributing to the project soon.

GIMP has a built-in tool that lets you rotate an image by an arbitrary angle. There is also a Script-Fu plug-in that you can use to straighten an image and crop the result. You can find it at http://registry.gimp.org/node/18821 I haven't tried the plug-in so I don't know how well it works, or even *if* it works in a current version of GIMP. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

The best way to do this is to draw a line on the edge of the page and have a command that rotates it to horizontal or vertical. The algorithm is well defined and easy (except for indexed color images). This was brought up recently, in the following thread http://www.mail-archive.com/gimp-developer%40lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/msg20264.html See especially the last email. Draw arrows and shapes over an image (new vector layer). I found a shape drawing plugin that is fine except you fill in a form instead of draw the outline with a cursor, and it doesn't use the pen defined in the main window. See the branch soc-2006-vector-layers in git: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/refs/heads IIRC, this has been dropped from the 2.8 schedule due to resource constraints. Half the gimp world would probably love the people who finally gets this merged and polished up. -- Regards Jon Nordby - www.jonnor.com ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
