  Big Text in/with animal Shape
Posted by: n4x - 01-26-2018, 05:14 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Hey,

I want to make a big poster with a giant text in the form of an animal or with the shape of an animal inside of it.

Is this possible with gimp2 or can you maybe recommend a way to make this happen?
I need it as a present and als the copy-shops in my area are unable to create this, they need it to be prepared als img Wink

  Quartering simple strokes
Posted by: Ofnuts - 01-26-2018, 11:36 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (6)

Given a stroke with 4 simple Bezier splines:

   

but before you(*) jump with joy, I don't know yet how to compute the intersection of these curves (the corners of the squares), assuming it is anatically possible.

Otherwise, the algorithm is:
  • take two opposite sides: the guide strokes and the remaining sides, the shape strokes
  • extract from the two existing shape strokes the angle of incidence on the guide stroke and the relative distance of the tangent points to the distance of the two anchors
  • with this data you can map either shape stroke along the guides at some percentage: compute the two anchors, and given angle and distance, compute the two tangents
  • so do the computation for the same percent form the two shapes, and interpolate the tangents using the percentage: two anchors, two tangents, you have a line between the two guides.
  • rinse and repeat

(*) you know who you are...

  How do I do these things...
Posted by: enginestar - 01-25-2018, 09:45 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Need some advice on some things...

- I want to bend a layer. Not sure what to click and best way to do.
I've clicked around but cant see anything to bend. I can change perspective, but that doesnt do what I want.

- To an existing image... add a white strip, add a shadow around the white strip, then add text on top of the white layer.
I kinda got this figured I think, but wanted to know the best recommended way

Thanks.

  clothify granularity
Posted by: sbhairava72 - 01-25-2018, 06:45 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

I tried using Python-fu clothify(). It worked the first time and it works great.

First I tried it on a smaller image, 1,000 x 1,000 px  (viewed in a 6 x 6 in area on my monitor).  Then I tried it on a larger image, 2,000 x 2,000 px  (still viewed in a 6 x 6 in area on my monitor).

The resulting 'larger' image looks different when viewed in a 6 x 6 in area,  but if I zoom in the 'clothify' effect looks the same.  So what I see in this is that clothify() is image size agnostic. The result can be seen on a per area basis, not per image area.  Is there a way to adjust clothify() so that its effect is spread out over a larger area... for a larger image ?

  GIMP 9.8 failed installaton
Posted by: Chaplain Mark - 01-24-2018, 06:19 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (11)

Hello again,

I installed the Development version GIMP 9.8X and that version could not open after the installation was complete.  The software hangs during the process of looking for the files it needs to open, apparently.

I noticed the installer placed the GIMP files in C/Program Files, whereas I thought I read someplace the Development version installes into C/Roaming/ Program Files. 

As can see, I'm not typing the path correctly, but that's all of the path I can remember at this moment.

Case in point for the old saying...."A little knowledge is a dangerous thing..!"   Big Grin

I had downloaded the version from Partha, and noticed during the installation a notification that stated Partha was the author of the software.

Has anyone else here had troubles installing the Development version, and does anyone have a comment  regarding whether or not the Partha notification indicates a valid version of GIMP?

Thanks in advance..!!
