Drawing a Box 1. Choose the rectangle select tool. 2. Draw a box that matches the borders you want. 3. Fill the box with the FG color (Edit-Fill-Foreground or control-comma) 4. Choose Select-Shrink. 5. Fill the box with the BG color (Edit-Fill-Background or control-period). 6. You have a rectangle with a border the foreground color filled with BG color. Drawing a long line 1. With pencil tool (brush if you want fuzzy edges to the line), select the start point. 2. Holding down the shift key, select the end point. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You might want to check out dia. The interface is much like gimp, but it does much like what you're looking for. Flowcharts, electrical circuits and such. If that's not what you need, there's a great straight line tutorial here: http://www.gimp.org/~sjburges/straightline/straightline.html Ariel Kass wrote: hi i'd like to know how i can draw a diagram with straight lines and boxes with gimp. i've searched around but the closest i could get was how to draw pixels with paint brush - this doesn't help me much when trying to make lone straight lines Ariel Kass __ Do you Yahoo!?

a much easier way, is to select a box shape, and go to selection -stroke, with the color you want your borders to be On Tue, 19 Nov 2002 15:13:44 -0600 (CST) Thus said Sam Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED]: i'd like to know how i can draw a diagram with straight lines and boxes with gimp. i've searched around but the closest i could get was how to draw pixels with paint brush - this doesn't help me much when trying to make lone straight lines Let's see. . . .
