I attached a small script in Guile I made a long time ago. It isn't
exactly what you want (doesn't rotate, for example), but that shouldn't
be too hard to add.

You can add labels, make them semi-transparent, etc.

Not solved yet, but I detected that renaming the font, then running
fc-cache, makes the font appear in Gimp! I first thought that
changing .TTF to .ttf had done the trick, but just changing _anything_
in the font name works.

Changing back to the original name, makes the font disappear again, as
if there is a blacklist somewhere... Strange!

BTW, Gimp is 2.6.11, fontconfig 2.6.0 if that matters.

Forgot to mention, 'FontMatrix' shows all the variants of the DejaVu
font, including Bold, Condensed, Italic, etc.

Only thing out of the 'ordinary' is that the regular font is called
'book', not 'regular', 'normal', 'roman', as most do.

[Gimp-user] Bold versions of some fonts fail

2011-02-21 Thread John Coppens
Hello people.

At some point - I'm not clear when - something changed with my fonts
(Linux - Slackware64 13.1). Now I cannot select, for example, the bold
or italic version of DejaVu Sans. The appear as Regular.

- I tried to install the newest package for the dejavu fonts,

- ran mkfontscale

- ran mkfontdir

- Though probably unnecessary, ran fc-cache

First tried to 'reload fonts' (button in fonts dialog) in Gimp, then
tried to restart gimp entirely. (and from a terminal to check for any
messages with --verbose).

Am I missing some important step?

[Gimp-user] Script-fu script defaults

2010-10-05 Thread John Coppens
Hello people.

A couple of years ago, I wrote a script to add titles to images. I
offer the options of position, color and combination mode in the dialog.
I use this script quite often.

I never found if it is possible to assign default values to the
variables, eg. set the color dialog by default to gray 25%, or set a
dropdown selection to a particular value. (I know, in this case I could
simply change the order of the items, but still...)

If this is documented somewhere, I'd appreciate a pointer.

Hello Alexandre.

I believe I can confirm that, on at least one instance, the link to to
gimp-tutorials.net produced the page the OP described. I suspect this
is when the host where that site is located, cannot find the correct
domain (page?) and replaces it with another one with related content.

Again - just a suspicion of mine - I guess this happens when
gimp-tutorials.net temporarily (maintenance?) disappears. This policy
seems to be popular with hosts who want to make the most of badly typed

EXIF data in 'Extra' information, generally things such as dates,

not contain any graphical info at all, so it won't be of any help for

This is typically a request for a vector drawing program (such as

That said, probably the nearest you can get (with GIMP) is using Filters

I don't know Synaptic, but I'm guessing the libgegl-0.0-0 package will

Hi, Anthony.

I believe the problem is that you are making a gray gradient (which means
that all three colors are changing equally). This means that you have
only 256 levels available to render the gradient.

Then you are trying to produce a gradient from value 84 to 129, which are
only 55 steps, over a distance of couple of 100 pixels - this causes the
banding.

I may be wrong here - I haven't used it yet - but I believe GEGL provides
you with a lot more precision in the colors. You may not be able to see
it on the screen, as your monitor probably has the same 256 level limit,
and you'll have to use a special output format for the same reason (eg.
16 bit PNG).

This kind of problem frequently appears in the sky part of images, the
the blue gradient can present a real challenge.

I apologize for that, and for not seeing your answer immediately (you

This is GTK+ version 2.17.2. GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for

I'd say the first line of the README would be a logical place to warn

[Gimp-user] Crashes in GIMP 2.6.6

2009-07-03 Thread John Coppens
Hello people.

I having frequent crashes in Gimp 2.6.6, the version distributed by the
Slackware 64 12.2 version. 

It seems quite random. In most cases (all except one), the crash happened
while trying to save an image - just before the file dialog appeared. The
exception crashed when the dialog was already visible. First the text
entry box didn't accept text (cursor disappeared when moved over the box).
Then, after a couple of seconds, the crash happened.

I was running gimp in gdb, hoping to do a backtrace, but detected that
Gimp had been compiled without debug info. The text appearing is:

Note that in some cases, lossless compression can give you much better
results than jpg. Particularly if the original is a complicated line
drawing (high contrast). Also, if the original is using indexed colors,
it may be more efficient. And if the original is a b/w 1 bit/pixel image,
even more so.

Try to convert to PNG or GIF and check if those formats give you more
logical sizes - they work better with the mentioned image types.

You could make the letters white, and add transparent filters 'above' the
text. Or non-transparent filters and set layer multiplication. Or put the
text, and cut and paste parts to other layers, then colorize them
(without necessity to move them).

Just a few ideas...

This is almost surely a 3D model, rendered using a 3D program such as 3D
studio, or open source renderers such as POV-ray. The reflection is
correct - if you look at the headlights, which are pointing slightly down
in the direct view, you'll note that they are larger in the reflection.

If you want an example of what can be done, have a look at:

http://oyonale.com/variations.php?lang=en

Look for reflections in windows, water, drops, etc. Just amazing. And

[Gimp-user] Script-fu changes?

2008-12-03 Thread John Coppens
Hello people.

I wrote - quite a while ago - a script to make thumbnails, and modified
it for 2.4.x. When I tried to run it in GIMP 2.6.3, it did work correctly,
but the screen doesn't update as it should.

When the image is scaled, the background doesn't clear, and the scaled
image is shown in the upper left corner. The background isn't 'real',
meaning it doesn't update when something is moved over.

Difficult to put in words. An example is shown here:

http://www.jcoppens.com/misc/tests/GIMP.jpg

The 'hole' in the middle is where the script dialog was. Is there some
extra 'cleanup' necessary in the latest versions?

I'm not sure which version of GIMP you are talking about. I have 2.4.7,
and even though the text editor isn't modal, I cannot move the text. The
cursor remain in the 'edit' shape (double T) even when over the drawing.
Clicking on the text doesn't do anything, outside the text starts a new
one (as described). 

To be able to move the text, I have to select the move tool, which, of
course, closes the text tool. I had been considering sending an RFE
about this too.

So, I confirm Dotan's report. My WM is xfce 4.4.2, if that influences
things. (X11 is xorg 7.4)

But, it seems the occupied memory wasn't returned to the system, as I
couldn't start a new read because of lack of memory. I had exit and
re-enter GIMP to get read working again.

I'm using 2.4.5, is this a problem solved later? I haven't seen any

[Gimp-user] Problem with shadows

2008-05-18 Thread John Coppens
Hello people,

I do the following:

1) A solid background,
2) A text of 5 lines, which is generated on a new layer
3) I move the text around a bit to align it, using the move tool,

With the text layer selected, I use tha drop-shadow, hoping to create a
shadow of the text, but instead, the shadow layer appears _before_ the
selected text layer, and the background layer gets displaced to the right
and below.

No shadow is visible. If I do the drop shados before 3), then the shadow
is rendered correctly.

Am I doing something wrong here? I installed 2.4.5 to be sure the problem
wasn't in 2.4.4 only.

[Gimp-user] DICOM hicckup?

2008-04-25 Thread John Coppens
Hi people.

I was processing a pile of images for my classes, and by error copied a
text file info a .PNG. Of course GIMP refused to open it, as expected,
but, after replacing the image with the real image, GIMP still refuses to
open the image with the message:

xyz.png is not a DICOM file.

(also after a ctl-click).

Not only this, but GIMP also refuses to open other PNG files, which I had
previously opened successfully.

It seems that GIMP:
- Autoidentified the text file as DICOM,
- After identifying a DICOM, refuses to recheck anything else.

I had to restart GIMP.

GIMP is 2.4.4 ('home-compiled')

It is not necessary to select anything, and it's not even necessary to
be in the correct layer. If you can see the text, just select the Move
tool, and drag the text, taking care to start the dragging just _on_ the
text (which sometimes is difficult if the text is small). GIMP will
temporarily select the correct layer while dragging.

If you are in another layer, you'll notice that the cursor normally shows
the 'Move mode' but this will switch off while over things in another
layer. This is a good indication that you can start dragggin whatever is
in that layer (the text in your case).

[Gimp-user] Gimp and printing

2008-03-15 Thread John Coppens
Though this may be a printer driver issue, I thought I'd ask first here.

Since I installed Gimp 2.4.4, the printer (HP1022) appears in the print
dialog, but is marked with "printer fault!" and doesn't print. I have
CUPS (1.3.6) installed, and the system does print normally from all other
programs.

I have looked at newer versions of Gutenprint, but didn't find the HP1022
as supported. Do I need this newer driver? And why is the printer
correctly detected, but marked as printer fault, while it works for the
rest?

For now, I have been able to print to file first, then print with another
program, but that's not very practical.

Thanks is advance!
John

Yes - Thanks Pere! Is there a reference o tutorial for TinyScheme
somewhere? I didn't find any docs at the site.

Thanka again,

The behaviour here is normal (as expected, I mean). Norman, do note that
if you click in a way that such that the rotate dialog is cancelled
you'll have the behaviour you mention. The rotation (even if you type it
in) is not really executed till Ok'd (the button pressed).

Jeff, manual rotation after a 20 degree rotate acts normal here. You
don't have your ctl pressed, haven't you? That rounds the steps to 15
degrees!

Put the cursor farther from the image centre todo the rotation, and you'll
be able to do smaller rotation increments. You can even activate rotation
inside the image, then take it outside (without releasing the button) to
have better control. Think that mouse movements are always integer
pixels... (Same as the slider movement in previous question).

Make the tool pane wider, and you'll get other values. The slider simply
subdivides the range into the number of steps the slider can make.

Hi Jeff.

Maybe, because Alt_L is the call to the Layer menu in the drawing window?
I found that none of the underlined letters in the menu bar can be
assigned (Alt_F, Alt_E, etc, but they would be different for each
language).

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.4 Script-fu problem

2008-01-02 Thread John Coppens
Hello people.

I just compiled and installed Gimp 2.4.3, and it seems to be working fine.
Except that the two scripts I once made didn't work anymore. I believe I
succeeded in correcting the differences for TinyScheme, but in one of the
scripts there seems to be a different bahaviour with the layers.

The script is supposed to add a title on a selected place, and worked
fine under 2.2.x. Now, the text appears as a new layer, but the color
isn't right, the layer seems blocked (cannot select another layer)while
it's still floating, the combination mode (addition/subtraction) is not
respected and the command in the script to flatten the image is not
executed.

No errors appear, but something did go wrong...

I've attached the script, as it is quite short. Is there some text
documenting which, if any, changes were made to the procedures in the PDB?
Something like the migration page for TinyScheme?

John
