If you create text where there is an overlap between characters:
The strokes of these characters overlap:
And if you try to get a selection from that path you don’t get the initial text:
This is because Gimp uses an “even-odd” algorithm to determine if a pixel is selected or not: drawing a line from the pixel in any random direction, the pixel is outside the selection if the line intersects an even number of strokes (0
is considered even), and inside the selection if the line intersects an odd number of strokes. If the overlap areas, such a line intersects two strokes, one for each character, so the overlap area is unselected.
This plugin uses a different algorithm: it identifies the strokes that belong to the same characters (more accurately, sets of nested strokes), and adds theses characters separately to the selection, so the overlap areas are the union of the selections for each characters and are selected:
As usual plugin is here. Enjoy.

New Install Problem w/Cursor |

I've been using an old Gimp for ages and just upgraded to 2.10.18.
My cursor will close out things but will not allow me to click on for example, When I'm in Preferences and I chose which theme I want it lets me do that. But when I click on "OK" to save it, it does nothing. It lets me X out and close things but won't allow me to save my preferences.
Any idea as to why? Thank you.

Can gimp create stitched bitmaps? |

I am an audio vst/instrument developer, I have always used a program called knobman for all of my bitmap graphics for my interfaces.
with OSX catalina knobman is having some serious issues and I need to look for a longterm alternative.
I google searched "creating stitched bitmap graphics in gimp" and found several videos regarding stitched textures, as in making the graphic look like it had been sew together, which is not what I need.
In knobman I could just create a circular knob with a center point maker and set it to rotate from -165 to +165 across 100 frames and then export t to create simple knobs for my instrument designs.
I can't quite figure out if gimp can do this or not, and if it does I haven't figured out how to do it.
Can gimp do this, create stitched interface graphics based upon degrees of rotation across a set number of frames?
Thanks.
