Rotating Cube

1999-09-30 Thread Hago Ziegler

Hi everybody,

I have an animated GIF - it's a rotating cube on transparent background,
consisting of 20 layers. I want to give a wooden surface to this cube.
But: doing this with 20 cubes, each one with 3 sides with
different perspective and brightness every time, is a horrible work. 
  Is there any way to simplify this work?

Thanks,Hago



installing gtk

1999-10-06 Thread Hago Ziegler

Hello,

I just downloaded gimp1.1.9 , gtk1.2.5 and glib1.2.5 . I installed glib
without problems. When I tried to configure gtk it says:

.
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.4... yes
checking for X... no
configure: error:
*** X libraries or include files not found. Check 'config.log' for
*** more details.

I checked 'config.log', it says:
configure:4668: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall   conftest.c -lXt   1>&5
configure: In function `main':
configure:4664: warning: implicit declaration of function `XtMalloc'
/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lXt: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 4661 "configure"

What or where are this X libraries ? I don't know what to do now. Can
anybody give me some help?

Thank you Hago

It's a bug, I first noticed it in Gimp1.1.7.
This is a very stupid bug and I'm sorry about it, because it's nearly
impossible to use Gimp without the selection-tool working properly.

Hi,

I want to use this occasion and try again to resolve my old
Gimp-problem:

Version 1.04 works perfectly.
Version 1,11 won't let me combine different selection-types. ( I know

Is there a solution for this problem in the meanwhile?

Hi,

in the meanwhile I tried Gimp with different window-managers. The

(also icewm). My daughter runs  Gimp in Win98. Also there everything
works fine, only the selection tool won't.

I don't think that such problems can be acceptable for the future.

You are right! After havinging changed the selection-tool I obviously
forgot to focus the image-frame.
Now, focusing it cosciously everything works perfectly.
What a stupid mistake.

Perhaps I should append that I use KDE and I originally  had set in
the "Window Configurations": "Focus follows mouse" . With this
configuration and with "Classic sloppy focus" it still doesn't work.
It only works with : "Click to focus".

Installation gimp 1.1.15

2000-01-16 Thread Hago Ziegler

Hi,

I think I need some help.

I deleted gimp 1.1.11 and downloaded gimp 1.1.15. When I tried to configure, it
said, that it couldn't find gtk. Although the same version (1.2.6) is needed, I
deleted also gtk, downloaded a new one from the gtk-homepage and tried to
install it.

After having done nearly the whole configuration it says: "X libraries or
include files not found."

config.log says:
  configure:4588: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory
  configure: failed program was:
  #line 4587 "configure"
  #include "confdefs.h"
  #include 
  configure:4668: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall   conftest.c -lXt   1>&5

  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  configure: failed program was:
  #line 4661 "configure"
  #include "confdefs.h"

I looked on the Suse-CD but couldn't find anything like "X/Intrinsinc"

I also don't understand, why gimp1.1.15 couldn't use the already installed
version of gtk.

What could I do?

I thank you for every help

Hi Kappa,

I had the same problem when I tried to install a new version of gimp
without installing also a new glib and gtk. I thought it is not
necessary because the gtk and glib version was the right one.

But gimp cannot install if it has not a fresh gtk and glib.

I deleated gimp, gtk, and glib, reinstalled gtk and glib from CD and
then installed Gimp. It worked.

script-fu

Hi everybody,

in chapter 38 of the "Gimp User Manual" I found an example for how to do a
Script-fu. For the beginning I copied the example-script to
/root/.gimp-1.1/scripts/ , made "refresh" and tried to find it in the DB
Browser. But there was nothing. I copied it also to
/usr/local/share/gimp/scripts/, with the same result.

What am I doing wrong. 
The "Gimp User Manual" relates to Gimp1.0.4. I run Gimp 1.1.15.

When I try to open a *.pl-file from the Dov Grobgelds script-examples I get a

Yes, there is such an option (minimal installation, 69-101 MB), but it's
already a lot of MBs. I thought about something like installing the kernel and

Hi everybody,

I tried invain to use "gimp-palette-swap-colors" in a very little Script-Fu
(just for to learn). It won't work. The whole gimp disappears if I use it.

The first Part of the script produces a image with a backgroundcolor and an
elliptical selection.

I want to fill the selection with the foregroundcolor. First I tried
"gimp-bucket-fill", but it doesn't work. "gimp-edit-fill" worked when I filld
the layer with the bgcolor , so I tried the swap-thing

Is there something special about filling a selection in a script-fu that I
should know?

You have to rightclick into the image  -  then do:  image/alpha/add alpha

gimp-installation on suse 6.3

2000-03-04 Thread Hago Ziegler

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to installe gimp 1.1.17 in my suse6.3 distribution: 

First I deinstalled the old gimp1.1.16, gtk+1.2.6, glib1.1.6. (gtk+ and
glib because I thought gimp1.1.17 would require the newest glib and gtk:
1.2.7)

I downloaded Gimp1.1.17, glib1.2.7, gtk+1.2.7

I installed glib1.2.7 and gtk+1.2.7

I tried to instal gimp1.1.17: it failed to configure because it asked for
glib and gtk-version 1.2.6.

Now I deleted all glib and gtk+ files I could find and reinstalled glib and
gtk v.1.2.6:

Installation of glib1.2.6 was OK
Installation of gtk+1.2.6 failed: message:

checking for GLIB - version >=1.2.4... *** 'glib-config --version' returned 1.2.6, but 
GLIB (1.2.7)

I repeated everything, looked once more for perhaps forgotten glib-files,
deleated config.cache, but the same result.

Hi all,

for hours now I'm trying to install new fonts for gimp. Freefont and

I installed xfs as it is consulted in its install-text, then I read a
lot of text in my SuSE-manual, but it doesn't help, it just confuses.

My fonts are in:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fontsthe encodings tarball in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings the truetype fonts in:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fontstt  inside there is now:
fonts.dir, verdana.ttf

fonts.dir:
1
verdana.ttf -microsoft-verdana-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1

in XF86Config I have set the paths:
..
FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont"
FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ttfonts/fonts.dir"

I also tried to set :
FontPath  "tcp/localhost:7100"   But after the reboot I couldn't
start the Xserver anymore and I had to remove it.

and there is: /etc/xfs.config

What can I do? What is the fault?

Re:xfs-installation-13.04

2000-04-14 Thread Hago Ziegler

Hallo,

thanks a lot for all the help I found here. 

I tried everything you all consulted and I finally found out, that  xfstt
tries to start in runlevel 3, but failes. So the Xserver cannot start as
long as the fontpath "../:7101" exists in XF86Config.

I still can start xfstt later manually, but then the Xserver becomes
instable and tends to crash easily.

Does anybody have an idea, why this xfstt won't start?
Would it perhaps be better to start it earlier?

Re: Set transparency

2000-04-19 Thread Hago Ziegler


Hi,

> I have a small gif that has a picture in the middle, with an irregular

1  /image/mode/RGB

2   /image/alpha/add alpha channel

3 then you select the black border, for example

   a  Either with "fuzzy select" (selects similar pixels, you can set it in
the tool properties(doubleclick on the tool icon) even to 0 , then it
selects only pixels with for example the color #00)

   b  Or with select by color (similar properties, you will see)

4 If it's selected, you cut it  -  it becomes transparent.

5   /image/mode/indexed

6  save as gif

I hope it helps   Hago





gimp-1.1.20 - installation

2000-04-24 Thread Hago Ziegler

Hi everybody.

I'm trying to install Gimp-1.1.20 in my SuSE-Linux 6.4.

First I tried to use the glib and gtk+ (both 1.2.7) from the SuSE cdrom
- didn't work

Then I downloaded glib and gtk+ (both 1.2.7) and tried to install them
anew  (first I uninstalled the buildin glib and gtk+): glib installs
perfectly, I can find eg glib-config in /usr/local/bin.
But when I try to install gtk+ already ./configure doesn't succeed,
because it can't find glib-config 
If I try then:  ./configure --with-glib-prefix=/usr/localit finds
glib-config, but says: can't find glib Xlibraries

I dont know how to go on. Is there somebody who could help me?

Ah, Before I installed the same glib, gtk+ and Gimp in my sons
SuSE-Linux 6.2 without any problems

freetype

2000-04-26 Thread Hago Ziegler

Hi ,

I'm interested in the functions of freetype. I tried the test-programs
and it works all very nice.

Only: I don't understand how to use it eg with Gimp in the dayly work.

Well, I found in /usr/doc/packages/freetype  a huge mountain of english
texts, but since me, my machine and my gimp are speaking german, all
this texts are just confusing (it's simply too much).

Would somebody give me some hints, how for example to insert the word
"TEXT" (antialiased,arial,18pt,r,normal) in a jpg-image ?

I've SuSE-Linux 6.4, xfstt installed, gimp 1.1.20

I would be glad about some help.

Re: how do I make anti-aliased transparent gif?

2000-06-28 Thread Hago Ziegler

Hi,

> I have found anti-aliased transparent gif files on Gimp related
web pages.

It just looks like.  There is no way to have a real smooth change
from opaque to transparent with gif.

It looks like, if you work in RGB-Mode till the end and konvert then,
all the smooth changes between colors remain, only the change to
transparent background doesn't work.

What you have seen, probably uses partly the surrounding color as
background instead of transparency.

You can do what you want with PNG

I tried it again and incidentally I found out, that it works, just like
it is. But is works only once, immediately after having started Gimp.
If you do anything before, it will display the typical error message.

I tested it on linux-gimp 1.1.24 ands on windows-gimp 1.1.19  -  the
same.
For the moment I don't know how to resolve this Problem.

Re: Script-fu crashes - with ICQ

2000-07-19 Thread Hago Ziegler

Hi all,

I read several times about script-fu to crash because of "nobody knows".

4 days ago I installed ICQ and since then my script-fus are crashing
too. Not all the time, but sometimes.

The reason:

ICQ uses *.SCM as a fileending. Any music files, but without them, ICQ
doesn't work. I  just shutdown ICQ when I work with gimp, but I'm not
really sure if it doesn't affect script-fu anyway.

Does somebody know about a possibility to separate these two things,
without uninstalling ICQ?

Hi,

If you make "Add Layer Mask" you are asked if you want a White or Black
mask.
If you take the white one and eg paint black on it, the affected layer
will be transparent instead of black where you paint and you can see the
layer or the nothing beneath.

Painting with colors works and and painting with black to have
transparent doesn't work anymore if you apply the mask.

So create a new layer for to paint with colors and don't apply the mask
before you finished.

levels == layers ? Then you're right.

Sorry, but I think I can't help you, since I don't really understand,

creating patterns

Hi,

I try to create a pattern, using a part of a JPG-image.

Could somebody please describe the exact way to create a pattern?

Re: creating patterns

Hi,

since it wasn't understandable what wrote, here once more, what I try:

I have a JPG-image. I want to save a little part (16px/16px) of it as a
pattern (*.pat).
This works only sometimes and I don't understand why it doesn't work in
most of the cases.

If I eg. create a 16/16 selection of the jpg-image, paste it as new and
try to save it, the PAT-option is mostly greyed out, so I can't choose
it.

Therefor I  wanted to know the exact way, how to create a  *.pat-file
out of a part of a jpg-image, hoping to detect an operation-step that I
didn't think of before.
