[Gimp-user] Brush edit problem
I want to create a straight line that's two pixels wide. There's a brush that's 1px, and another that's 3px, so I created a new brush, made it a square one and selected a radius of 1.0px. If I do this, the brush appears to be 3px in width. So I tried various values. 0.7px radius still gives me a brush that is 3px wide. However, 0.6px radius gives me one that is 1px wide. I don't seem to be able to find any setting that makes it 2px wide, and neither can I understand the relationship between radius and the actual size of the brush. The same thing happens with higher values - anything from 0.7 up to 1.6 gives me a brush that's 3px wide, then at 1.7 it jumps to 5 pixels. Is it impossible to have a brush that is an even number of pixels wide, and if so, why? -- Chris (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You can enter a specific value there, and you can use different line types too (from solid to dashed and/or dotted). pretty cool... Hope that helps ;) -- Bernhard S.

Is it impossible to have a brush that is an even number of pixels wide, and if so, why? No, but it may be impossible to have an even sized 'virtual' brush, which is the type you're editing. You may need to create a 2x2 grayscale image filled with black* and save it with a 'gbr' extension to your brushes directory.(then refresh the brushes dialog) * or is it white? one of those two. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Ah OK - many thanks for both your suggestions :) -- Chris (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
