[Gimp-user] Scripts and paint tools
I'm writing a script which is supposed to convert the alpha channel of a layer into a selection, and then stroke that selection with various paint tools. Easy to do through the GUI, but its turning out to be rather hard to script. The best I've been able to do so far was convert the selection into a path, get the path points, and use them for input into gimp_smudge, gimp_convolve, etc. Unfortunately, this a) produces somewhat different results and b) sometimes causes python-fu to segfault. What I'd really like to do is choose the active tool and then call gimp_edit_stroke to stroke it over the selection. So my question is this: how can I choose the active tool from a script?

So how come I've only got the first of these? This is gimp-2.2-pre. Do I need to upgrade? Mplayer is installed. okay, let me start by confessing that i have no idea what i added to my MPlayer that got that working. the MPlayer documentation is full of suggestions for supporting software and i found myself looking for software in many places i would not usually get software from. i eventually drew the line and would only get the suggested software from ibiblio if it was not available from the gnuish sites i am acustomed to. (recently my faith in this site experienced a set back from some interesting screenshots which a lot of work went into but contained only not free and not even smart file formats) one more confession, i can extract frames with the MPlayer i built but my MPlayer will not show video here. it looks like i built all of this in october of last year and there is a more current version that might work. i find it interesting that you do not have both options as well, since i have the XANIM dependent option but since i do not have XAnim installed, i get instructed to install it and told where to get it in an error dialog.

XFree86 based distributions should be okay. As soon as I get a chance to try the build on my newly installed FC2 I'll fix the problem with the man page rule that causes the build to break on other systems.

Are you aware of resources that might facilitate the switch for me? Like for instance, when I want to create a geometric shape, like a rectangle I don't find the tool for it. there are shapes on buttons on the toolbox, the button with the square on it will draw shapes that are rectangular, depressing the shift or the control button will constrain the shape to be a square. the same thing is true for the button on the toolbox with a circle on it.

Remember, we ALL are newbies in some area or another. criticism is usually a reflection of the inquery. there is a lot of criticism when you request features that have been discussed to death via the established ways to request features. the developers and other volunteers get frustrated when someone running their computer without ttf fonts has a problem when gimp doesnt work, for instance (this was being discussed on the irc today). a respectful approach should always get a respectful answer. if this has not been the case it is because the people trying to help have been stressed out and like other humans, a second try should be given. your request was respectful, people will get frustrated if your questions do not get more specific and it doesnt seem like you are working with the stuff that is out there to help yourself with. here is an apology from at least one person trying to document things precisely for this situation, sorry it is so difficult to take what life gives you and keep your tutorials up to date. many of the out dated tutorials can be useful for you if you know in advanced that several items moved from the Image menu to the Layers Menu between gimp-1.2 and gimp2 and a few others found a place in the Filters Menu. gimp has so many options and buttons because it tries too much to be everything to everybody. carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Graphire3 flakiness in gimp (1.2.5 and 2.0.4)
i think we are having some problems because i dont really understand how gentoo works. hehe. Basically, it uses a package tree system (similar to debian I believe). When you tell it to install a package, it downloads the source and specified patches from the gentoo archives and compiles the program. When the maintainers for the specified package in the tree (for instance gimp), deem a package to be properly stable on gentoo, they set it stable. Packages that are not quite deemed stable are masked, but you can easily tell the system to try to install it anyway. This is what I did to go from 2.0.4 to 2.0.6. A package that is in the tree, but not deemed stable enough to even try to install (probably very new or has not been tested yet or depends on something funny) will be hard masked (set to masked in a file). To install these you need to unmask the package in the mask file and then tell it to install. Gimp 2.2.0 is currently hard masked. As I dug around (and tried compiling gimp2 from the stock source), I discovered that gimp 2.2.x require freetype 2.1.7 or greater. The current stable version in gentoo is 2.1.5-r1. 2.1.7 is not in portage. 2.1.9 is masked in portage because of problems with it and Mozilla and Firefox being compiled with older versions. To install 2.1.9, you must first uninstall Mozilla and Firefox. For me, however, they would not recompile afterwards (I'll have to try again later and see if it was just a fluke). So the current state of gimp 2.2.x on gentoo seems to depend on the freetype/Mozilla issue. If you can get freetype to upgrade and Mozilla/Firefox to recompile afterwards (don't want to lose those obviously), you could then try to install gimp 2.2.x and see what happens. sorry for the lack of understanding of your distribution on my part and if all this work does not lead to getting your tablet working. on the other hand, many people do have their tablets working with that gimp you have and with the current stable gimp, so perhaps the best approach for you right now is to provide more information. Yeah. And I believe several people in gentoo (there are posts about the graphires in the gentoo forums) are using them successfully. So the problem seems to be something with gimp on my silly computer. :) carol Mark II signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
