[Gimp-user] minimize the main toolbox?

2009-11-24 Thread Ryan Krauss
Is it possible to either minimize the toolbox or have an image window in front of the toolbox. I am using the GIMP as a digital whiteboard with a digitizing tablet (Wacom Bamboo) for my lectures. I would like to write on an image that fills as much of the screen as possible and would like the

2009-11-24 Thread Rauh, Stuart
This is more of a technical question. I hope I'm not off topic. Apologies in advance if I am... I have several windows XP machines running Gimp 2.6 successfully. We use a custom script to make specific sizes for our web site. The script runs fine with an exception on one machine. The

Use the TAB key, which toggles visibility of the toolbox and other dockable dialogs. And use F11 to fill the screen with the image window. You can even remove the menu bar, scrolling bars, and status bar, and have an image which really fills the screen. -- Olivier

Thanks. I got several responses - but they are sent to me and not the list. I never knew the tab key toggled the visibility of the toolbox. Thanks! Ryan On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 10:31 AM, Olivier Lecarme o...@olecarme.homelinux.net wrote: Use the TAB key, which toggles visibility of the

I have an image roughly 600 px square which in which the picture was taken on a white-ish background. I managed to crop it well enough to now have a silhouette of the object, black object on white background. Is there a way to convert it to an outline, say with a 1-3 pixel border? It is

2009-11-24 Thread Thomas DuBuisson
Update: 1) The question regarding exceptions remains - there are too many corner cases, mostly undocumented, so it would be nice to ignore them silently. 2) I see my fix was almost right but I forgot to take the head of the list: (car (gimp-image-get-active-drawable image)) is what I want, not
