  Arrow Script
Posted by: rich2005 - 03-01-2017, 11:04 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (122)

Looking at the available script-fu and plug-ins available for drawing arrows, I found it difficult to find a compromise between very simple hands-on involving manually stroking paths and all-encompassing plugins with a myriad of options.

Decided on this one from http://www.programmer97.talktalk.net/Files/arrow.zip http://programmer97.byethost10.com/Files/arrow.zip which is kept very up-to-date, with a sensible set of options. Do download it, it comes with a useful PDF on use. Un-zip, put the script arrow.scm in your Gimp profile ./gimp-2.8/scripts folder or for Gimp 2.10 C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\scripts

I personally like it as a script because;
- I can add it to ofnuts resources manager and load it for occasional use.
- By default the arrows go on their own layers, easy to delete or move
- By default it cleans up after use.

How to use it, make a path, invoke the script. Tools -> arrow.. 

What I do not like are the default settings for 'Length of Wings' and 'Brush Thickness Type', so I have adjusted them in the attached script arrow-set-size.scm
Un-zip, put arrow-set-size.scm in your Gimp profile scripts folder.

A comparison using the default values, of course you can adjust either from the script dialogue for any particular image. The script(s) show up in the Tools menu.

   

Depending on the type of images edited, very large or small, you might want to permanently change some of the sizes. Not difficult if you stick to the basics. Edit the end of the script. Remember to work on a copy, in case (when) you screw things up.

  Rectangle Select Tool is only Square - Fixed
Posted by: micksulley - 02-27-2017, 09:58 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

GIMP 2.8.16 on Linux Mint 18.3

When I use the Rectangle Select tool it only allows square and uses the initial click as the centre of the square.  I have searched for help, tutorials show it working as I expected, starting at a corner and drag to the other corner.


I am not aware that I have changed anything, how can I fix it?

Thanks
Mick

  Editing or deleting one of several rectangle selections
Posted by: jbheadrick - 02-27-2017, 06:34 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (7)

Hi,

Just started using GIMP, just found this forum, have a question I haven't been able to answer through my own research.

Let's say I use the Rectangle Select tool (in "Add to the current selection" mode) to select 10 different regions of my image.  Then let's say I want to change the size or delete rectangle selection #7.  How do I do this?

I know that I can use Select > None or do a Shift+Ctl+A to delete ALL of the rectangle selections, how do I edit or delete just ONE rectangle selection?

So, two questions:
   

  1. How can I delete one of several selections without having to start over?
        
  2. How can I edit a particular selection, such as changing its size?
   
Thanks for anyone's help.

JB

  What are animated brushes?

Can someone please explain what is meant by 'animated' brushes, as opposed to regular brushes?

  Looking for a particular type of brush
Posted by: OurJud - 02-26-2017, 04:39 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (3)

I began using Krita some weeks ago, after seeing it mentioned on here, and for some time suspected I preferred it to GIMP, but then when I was unable to get a particular effect/look to my work I switched back to GIMP and now prefer it to Krita.

However, Krita does have a few brushes that GIMP doesn't and I'm trying to find out if I can get something similar.

Unfortunately I don't know what you would call them, or whether they're 'animated', but their icon is a pencil tip and they're used for creating what I think are fractals. As you draw with them, very fine fractals will branch off creating nice wispy patterns. The others just seem to be variations on this.

I browsed the GIMP brushes on deviant art and found a few Fractal Brushes packs, and the previews showed what seemed to be the exact same effect, but when I installed them and went to use them, they're simply pre-rendered stamps of a fractal pattern, rather than a free-hand brush.

This is the kind of thing, but I need the brush to be free-hand rather than pre-defined stamps as these are.

Fractal Brushes

If anyone can offer any advice or links to the sort of thing I'm looking for it would be great.
