 how can i get such a grid on a normal image?

Ability to show a grid over the canvas and optionally having the tools
snap to it has been added to current CVS HEAD (1.3.x). This feature is
not available in 1.2.x - you can however use guides: try click-n-drag on
the rulers, drag it to somewhere in the image. Maybe that can be helpful
to you...

I'm not familiar with the gfig-display grid option, but.

I thought I was going crazy on this one, cause I could have sworn that 
this was possible, yet I could not find it in my current install of 
1.2.3 gimp on SuSE 8.2.

I know I have used such a facility before.  I fired gimp up on my Red 
Hat box, and sure enough, the right click menu has the 'guides' option, 
which presents the 'guide grid' option which does exactly (I think) what 
 you're looking for.  You get a dialog that asks for: x spacing, y 
spacing, x offset, y offset.

Now the question is, where'd it go on 1.2.3 on my SuSE box?

This functionality is provided by a GIMP perl script. You may be able to
locate a gimp-perl package for your distribution which includes this
functionality. Else you will need to recompile GIMP with perl support
enabled.
Thanks for the heads up, as I used this to put my wife's newsletter on 
her website (school teacher).  I'll be needing it again in another 
month.  I installed gimpperl-1.21-960 on SuSE 8.2 and I now have my 
'grids' menu option back.

So, might this help the original poster, or is this not what he/she was 
looking for? (sorry don't recall the name or gender... :) )

The feature you are talking about is a hack that uses guides to work
around the lack of a real grid in 1.2. It is implemented as a
gimp-perl script. Most probably your SuSE installation is missing
gimp-perl.
BTW: You should really, really update to 1.2.5.
I may well do so, but I've just recently upgraded this box to SuSE 8.2, 
and since it's my primary box, I'm taking things slowly.

I was a bit surprised to find the same version of gimp on SuSE 8.2 and 
Red Hat 7.3...

Re: [Gimp-user] need gimp grid

2003-07-16 Thread Joao S. O. Bueno
filters - render - pattern - grid.

There is a bug up to gimp 1.2.3, in which the horizontal and vertical 
spacing inputs are swapped. Still usable, though.

As for the axis, you will have to draw them by hand in GIMP. Depending 
on your needs with axis and such, maybe you shold take a look at GNUplot 
instead.

Cheers,
JS

Further would be cool if i could get x and y axis's plotted all the way 
to the middle.

IIRC, there is a scheme port of it, too.
