 I use this plug-in, it can give different results than other blur  
plug-ins,
 and these results sometimes seem to fit more than RLE and IIR.

Would you mind to tell us what parameters you are using the plug-in

I'd say your quoting is wrong. You can hardly expect nested single
ticks to work.

 gimp -d -i --verbose -b '(script-fu-add-text-weather-map '$fullpath'
 '$file' '$current_time')'

Try this instead:

gimp -d -i --verbose -b '(script-fu-add-text-weather-map $fullpath
$file $current_time)'

Single ticks in this case prevent the variables to be expanded.

Try this instead:

gimp -d -i --verbose -b (script-fu-add-text-weather-map \$fullpath\
\$file\ \$current_time\)

That also does not work using the double quotes gimp thinks these are
strings and does not evaluate the values of the variables...

 Different actually, most often random: 0 or randomize, randomization:100%
 repeat:1 (sometimes more repeats).
 I don't really understand its options but I like the effect.
 And it seems to be faster than others.
 Maybe it does the same (as which one?), and it's a placebo effect, but
 after some trial, I prefer using it.

[Gimp-user] printing

2004-06-09 Thread Tomek Grzejszczyk
Hi,
I want to print an image. I have cups installed and I can do it writing:
lp image.jpg
But when I try to print this image from gimp (which gives me really great 
flexibility to position and scale the image, and set printing quality), I 
get no result. It is strange because I see that gimp is set up to print by 
calling:

lp -s -dEpson640C -oraw
Epson640C is the only printer on my system. Some processing happens, I can 
see that load increasess, but nothing goes to the printer. Cups log is here:
http://62.121.81.182/pub/error_log

I've tried some other printing commands:
lp -s -dEpson640C
lp
but it only results in slightly different kind of messages in cups's log.
I'am using the following versions of software:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tomek]$ rpm -q gimp
gimp-2.0.0-1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tomek]$ rpm -q cups
cups-1.1.20-2

 As most of you know by now, the GIMP Conference will be held as a

 A number of people have suggested that a list of attendees who have
 confirmed they're going would be useful - so could anyone who plans to
 be there reply to the lists saying so, please?

It took Mitch and me a while to come to a decision but this is final
now: I will attend this year's GimpCon and Mitch won't. I've booked my
flight and registered for the conference (and some floorspace to put
my head).


See you all in Kristiansand,

I had a similar problem. I ended up using lpr and it worked. I 
have a HPdeskjet using printer model PostScript Level 2. With my 
limited printer knowledge, I don't think I have Cups installed. At 
least I don't remember configuring it. Don't even know how to check.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Gimp-user] Making an image with a white background transparent?

 Any ideas?  This is one of the images I'm trying to make transparent:

 http://www.pelican.com/imatges/3cases_1620.jpg

Firstly: make an new, same size and choose transparent background. Then, at 
the original picture: choose - after colour (Shift-O) and click on 
background. Then choose - invert (Ctrl-I). Copy (Ctrl-C) and in the new, 
empty picture: paste (Ctrl-V)

Works perfectly.

I don't know about your system, but in my Slackware Linux the 'lp' and 
'lpr' are both symlinks to 'lp-cups' and 'lpr-cups' respectively. I'm 
using the command

lpr -l -Pprintername
to print from Gimp.
Try 'lpr-cups' instead of 'lpr' in case your symlinks aren't set 
correctly. If you are using Postscript Level 2 on Gimp, you have to 
choose the correct PPD file for your printer, and use the command

lpr -Pprintername
to print.
JR
Thanks for the info. I am using ML10.0 and lpr does point to 
lpr-cups. However, I can print just using lpr without the PPD file 
or lpr -Pprinter plus the PPD file. I am using Postscript level 2. 
I did not notice any change in the printing results.

One other thing I can't figure out is how to change the margins. 
They appear to be preset and will not get samller. For example, I 
have  .5 set on the left and it will not decrease.

Also the media type, media source, inktype and resolution 
are blanked out.

[Gimp-user] Re: Tablet Issues

2004-06-09 Thread Jae
  Can someone explain to me why the only kickass full-featured imaging
 program i've ever seen used as much as photoshop doesn't support the most
 widely used tablets in the digital art community?

Unfortunately for quite a long time the support for tablets in the
GTK+2.x library (which we rely on) was broken. It has apparently been
fixed some weeks ago, but there are no binary packages for Windows out
there where this fix is included.

So, the answer basically is: Be patient, the fix is there but it yet has
to trickle into the binary packages.

Hope this helps
Simon

Thanks, Simon. I've relayed the information to him.

 This behaviour is the expected. Color to alpha removes the selected color
from all the colors in the image in such a way that when you put the image
above a background of that color you will get your original image.
 To do what you want, and that is to just erase a specific color, you
should:
 1) add an alpha channel to your layer if it hasn't got any yet (right
click on the layer and add alpha channel)
 2) Select - Select by Color
 3) Edit - Clear
