  Text randomly gets selected at the font edges?
Posted by: Snacko - 01-22-2024, 08:52 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

I rebuilt my pc about 2 months ago and reinstalled GIMP.

Sometimes when I am editing or adding text, the text gets selected around the edges of the font, like it was an image.  But it's just text..  I have not done anything to the text.  And sometimes it does this to other text on the screen that has nothing to do with the text I was working with.  Like 1/3rd of the text layers on the screen.  This happens randomly and I have checked in the Preferences and tools, but found no setting that would do this...

Any Help is appreciated.

  How to pad an image with extra transparent border
Posted by: rinaldop - 01-20-2024, 11:58 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Hello all,

I am back with a continuation of my project from my last post. I have 60 images that start at 420x37 and decrease in length by 7 pixels per image like so

   
   
...
   

What I need to do is make all of the images back to 420x37 by putting a transparent edge on the left side like so
   

I am on the right track using canvas resize with an offset to move the image to the right. Everything looks fine in Gimp but when I try to flatten the image so that I can save the new file I get an error.

Also is there a way to automate the process for all 60 images?

Thanks for helping out a newbie!

  Transform an image into different aspect ratios
Posted by: SpaceMonkey - 01-18-2024, 10:11 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (7)

Hello,

I just started today with this quest:

1.) Read the filename and save it.
2.) Resize the image to a specific aspect ratio.
3.) Add a prefix to the filename and save it as an jpeg in a specific folder.
4.) Undo all steps and repeat steps 2. und 3. different values.

I came this far:

Code:
from gimpfu import *

# The real code.
def setAspectRatios():
   # create the object of the image
   image=gimp.image_list()[0]
   # resizes the file to AR 2-3
   pdb.gimp_image_resize(image, 5333, 8000, -345, 0)
   # create the new name AR 2-3
   img_name_ar_2_3 = "AR_2-3_" + image.name
   # define drawable
   drw = image.layers[0]
   # save the image as jpeg
   pdb.file_jpeg_save(image, drw, img_name_ar_2_3, img_name_ar_2_3, 0.90, 0, 1, 1, "Aspect Ratio 2-3", 3, 1, 0, 2)

   
register(
   'set-aspect-ratios',                # Unique ID,
   'create different aspect ratios',   # Description/title
   'Add a white layer',                # Help
   "Author",                           # KJ
   "Author",                           # Copyright KJ
   "2024",                             # Copyright 2024
   'Set Aspect Ratios',                # The menu label
   "RGB*",                             # The type of images it can work on. Use "*" for all types
   # [                                 # List of input parameters
   #    (PF_IMAGE, "image", "Input image", None)  
   #                                                
   #],
   [],                                 # List of output parameters
   setAspectRatios,                      # The Python code that implementsthe plugin
   menu="<Image>/Layer",               # Where the menu label above appears
)

main()

But I have some questions to fill the blanks:

Q1: I know now that image.name does not work properly. Is there another way besides using pdb.gimp_image_get_filename(image) and trim the complete path down to the filename to just get the name of the file I imported?
Q2: What type is "drawable" - I could not find a good explanation. Do I use this correctly?
Q3: Undo is still a miracle for me. I saw that you can create groups and that you can enable, freeze, and disable it but I dont know how to trigger a simple undo to reverse steps 2. and 3. to the back to the original image.

Thanks in advance! Smile

  Help with creating an animation from right to left
Posted by: rinaldop - 01-17-2024, 03:50 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

Hello,

I have a strange question that I hope I can explain well. I have created 60 frames of a line image that shrinks from right to left. Here is a representation to try and show what I am doing 

----->
--->
->

I did this by creating each image 7 pixels shorter and then displaying image 60 to 1 in a countdown 

What I want to do now is reverse the animation like this 

<------
<---
<-

The problem is that I am trying to do this in a program that is used to create graphics for PC Sensor Panels (Aida64)

Apparently it displays images left justified so the only way I can think to do this is to push the frames from right to left like this 

<-----
..<---
....<-

and make the ... transparent 

Is there an easier way?

Thanks

  gimp terminal
Posted by: beezle - 01-17-2024, 01:16 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

something strange. l am using linux lite 6. i was looking on the internet for something similar to the old windows paint program and i came across, you guessed it, gimp. so being a little smart, i looked in my menu under graphics and all accessories. no gimp. next smart thing. i typed gimp in terminal. gimp 2.10 loaded up on my screen, i did my old paint things successfully, with no error messages, and closed gimp.  i incorrectly assumed i had installed gimp on my computer by type gimp in terminal. alas no gimp in my menu. so what the heck was that? and i can do it again.
