The one and only purpose of the pencil tool is to have a hard edge aligned with the pixel grid. No, I'm using the brush tool. And there are no hard edges. The brush just seems to align with the pixel grid anyway. http://mavos.net/dump/jagged_line.png There's a screenshot of a jagged curve in a GIMP window. As you can see, the lines are unnaturally straight. There's no way I could draw that straight if the brush was locking itself to the pixel grid, considering that the tablet has a 2000 or so DPI resolution. Your mouse only delivers pixel coordinates. So if you stroke a paint, GIMP gets delivered a handful of pixel coordinates and interpolates a paint stroke between them. If two subsequent coordinates have the same horizontal or vertical coordinate, you end up with a line that is aligned with the pixel grid. If you are using a tablet, the tablet should deliver higher precision coordinates. But is that actually the case? Are you really using your tablet as extended input device or is it only delivering core pointer events for some reason?

[Gimp-user] CVS Gimp and XML:: Parser

[Gimp-user] Re: Re: Tablets and sub-pixel sampling
Hi, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2005-07-27 at 1217.16 +0200): That is an issue that has existed for a long time, Gimp uses the screen coordinates to paint. Where's the issue here? Screen coordinates is what GIMP gets delivered. It can hardly guess what you meant to draw in physical coordinates of the virtual paper. You are drawing on screen and that's it. What's your point? That it could try something better than linear interpolation so at least mouse users (or people with misconfigured tablets, which sadly seems too common latelly) would get better results.

Ok, so at least the GIMP is supposed to use the precision coordinates from the tablet? That's all I expect and desire. I've configured my tablet as an extended input device which also delivers core events. My first thought was that the core events were confusing the GIMP so I turned the core events off completely for the tablet but the results were the same. But as long as I know that the GIMP will take care of the high resolution coordinates if they're being fed to it correctly, then I suppose there's still something wrong with my setup. I can't see what I could possibly have done wrong though. /Martin ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The wacdump tool shows everyhthing as it's supposed to be but the xidump tool doesn't show any output so until I figure that one out I can't really be sure what XInput is telling the GIMP. I tried once again to use the tablet as just an extended device, without core events and I still get the same results in the GIMP - brush sticking to screen coordinates.

[Gimp-user] rounded corners
I'm trying to make rounded corners using the tutorial below with Gaussian Blur IIR and Levels 119-1-135: http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/rounded-corners/ It works when I put a black rectangle on a white background but not when I try to put a white rectangle on a dark tan (B9BA9E) background. It also doesn't seem to work when I try to apply that to a rectangle on a transparent layer. I'm trying to create a white box with two rounded corners and a shadow on all sides on a dark tan background. Is there something I am doing wrong or another way to achieve the same goal?

Re: [Gimp-user] Batch image conversion
A B wrote: I'm converting a huge load of sprites from a game into ones suitable for use in another (from Myth II to Doom) and of course this involves a huge amount of repetitive actions- to change the image mode from indexed to RGB, back to indexed but with the Doom palette, and then to go through all the hundreds of seperate frames and manually replace the blue (of hexadecimal reference FF) with another colour (00). Since it is entirely repetitive, I reckoned batch I too would like to know how to write batch scripts for gimp. I've used convert before but what I need to do can't be accomplished with that program. I have read the one page tutorial on batch mode, http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ and have copied and pasted the script and commands and they don't work.
