I can use the  'Free Select Tool'  to draw polygons.How do I use Gimp Python-fu to do the same thing?

Should I use this?:  pdb.gimp_edit_stroke_vectors(drawable, vectors)

If so, I don't know what to do for the vectors parameter. I tried treating it like an array of coordinates, or an array of arrays of coordinates but that does not work.  So far I have learned to create an image, open an image in a layer, copy a layer and more. I am not making good progress on polygons.

So in light of recent events, i was wondering about copyright and unwanted sharing of images.
Im not gonna slap a watermark on all my images i post on the web or should i ?

There is the advanced option to automatically add a comment in Gimp, but of course that requires people to look there and its a kind of hidden feature.
Also unsure i want to add an email adress to all my images in said comment section.

What about those licenses you see in scripts and stuff ? Does it make any sense ?

Does anyone know if Filter > Blur > Average or a filter with equivalent functionality is available in 2.9.8? I had hoped to use it in correcting a pronounced color cast.

Thanks much.

I have an Ubuntu 16.04 box and am using a Wacom tablet CTL 480.  

Problems

1) the program sometimes changes color when I am drawing.  Mostly it is the second color in the two color rectangles in the toolbox. 
2) sometimes the erase function does not work or you get a color from it, the colors coming from the color rectangle in the tool box.

I can fix this temporarily sometimes by closing GIMP, also by deleting devicerc.  Sometimes I can fix the problem by disabling the tablet by editing the input devices. disabling if enabled or enable if disabled.

These problems are occurring with maddening frequency.   I hate to have to learn another program but these problems making using GIMP very annoying.

Any assistance much appreciated.

How to make tapered brush stroke in GIMP ? Is it possible to do with mouse ?

In PS

Hi there. This probably will sound like a real dumb question, but it’s really vexing me. 

I want to draw a 2d drawing of my dashboard in my motor home to scale. I want to be able to accurately place circles of the correct size for my instrument gauges so that I can redesign the whole board. 

I cannot work out how to correctly scale the drawing canvas, so I can draw a rectangle that will equal the real world size of 550mm wide by 290mm high, and then draw the guages, also to scale.  

The other alternative is using a different program. But as I only want 2d, then I thought Gimp was the best.

Hope that makes sense, and someone can assist me.

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I couldn't find anything relevant. How can I interrupt a long-running script if for some reason I don't want to wait for it to complete? The only way I've found is to go into Task Manager (on Windows) and kill it, which isn't very elegant and leaves the do/undo stack in an invalid state, so I have to exit Gimp and restart it. Is there a way to poll the keyboard, say once every 100 ms., and test for a keypress? Or is there another way?

Thanks.

I'm running windows 10 x64, the error message I get reads as follow:

"GIMP 2.8.22 cannot be installed over your currently installed GIMP version, and
the automatic uninstall of old version has failed.

Please remove the previous version of GIMP yourself before installing this version
in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2, or choose a Custom install, and select a
different installation folder.

The Setup will now exit.

Setup cannot continue. Please click Cancel to exit."

I've fully uninstalled my previous version of gimp manually, there are no traces of it anywhere that I can find.
I've tried many different installation folders with custom install and I always get the same message.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I am trying to trace a curve using the path tool, which you can just about see in the image. I have also attached the xcf file.

To get an accurate trace I found that I needed to make a path with several segments. It is quite difficult to get the segments to join up smoothly without a kink in the curve where they join. Is there an easy way to do this? Or a better way of tracing the curve?
