Basically, it is all a tangled mess and I have no idea where I went wrong. Why didn't it make a neat shape instead of with all these crisscrossed sections?
Hello quick question has anyone come across any tuts where its in written down form and not yt videos as i find it easier to follow from writing and pics
I go to Select>None yet it doesn't deselect the path whichever path it's on from the paths panel. I even tried going to layers and seeing if making all of them not visible would deselect the path, but even with the layers not visible the path is still selected!! How do I deselect the path. Thanks
Hello!
I have managed to put together a Gimp plugin (attached) to change font styles
a. the font itself
b. increase/decrease: font size, letter spacing and line height (separately)
c. the font color to foreground color
to apply inside: active group, active group & subgroups, or whole image.
I find it especially useful for treatment of files with a lot of text layers (maps, diagrams) after scaling the whole image. With a hitch: the plugin works only on text layers, and that property disappears on scaling, to be restored only by clicking on the layer with the text tool and accepting 'edit'--somewhat uphill when you have 20+ text layers.
Now, my question is: can there be some way to restore the text to editable from a plugin? (It will be on the wrong font size and requiring further adjustments, but one can always work on a copy.)
After much digging, I have found that those former text layers return on
Code:
pdb.gimp_item_get_parasite_list()
a 'tuple' containig "gimp-text-layer" (so, one can pick them out from the other layers), but I haven't found any way to restore them. Something like 'open as text layer' (with options) must exist in the Gimp internals...
So, please: any ideas?
Thanks!
