Many Thanks to Matthias Ettrich * app/disp_callbacks.c Updated unsharp-mask to version 0.10 * plug-ins/unsharp/dialog_f.c * plug-ins/unsharp/dialog_f.h * plug-ins/unsharp/dialog_i.c * plug-ins/unsharp/dialog_i.h * plug-ins/unsharp/unsharp.c Updated print plug-in to version 3.0.1 * plug-ins/print/README (new file) * plug-ins/print/print-escp2.c * plug-ins/print/print-pcl.c * plug-ins/print/print-ps.c * plug-ins/print/print-util.c * plug-ins/print/print.c * plug-ins/print/print.h Updated all files in the help/C/dialogs dir. This is a first alpha glimpse of the help system. Please give me feedback of the content. However since it's in alpha stage it means that there is spell, grammatical, etc errors. There is may also be pure errors which I hope "you" will report to either olof@gimp.org or karin@gimp.org. Please don't report spell, grammatical, etc error at this stage in dev. If you have any plans to commit to the help system please write to olof@gimp.org. (This is mandatory not a please ;-). * help/C/welcome.html * help/C/dialogs/about.html ..............

It's in this dialog you choose what brush you want to use, and the settings
|
|
you want to apply to the brush. The dialog displays all the available brushes.
|
|
You may also notice some unusual brushes, like colored brushes (pixmap brushes),
|
|
brushes with a red triangle in the right corner a so called "Image House"
|
|
brush , brushes with artistic text, little flourishes or doodles, etc.
|
|
<P>
|
|
All of those brushes are relatively easy to create in Gimp and save them
|
|
in the appropriate format. Gimp is also providing you with a brush editor
|
|
where you can create and edit brushes (you can only edit brushes that are
|
|
created in the brush editor).

|
Preview and Brush Information
|
|
</H4>
|
|
<P>
|
|
You will see that some of the brushes in the dialog has a little + sign.
|
|
The + sign is indicating that the brush preview is scaled to fit, i.e. the
|
|
brush is larger in reality. To view the real size of the brush, click and
|
|
hold on the brush square and the real size brush will appear (and disappear
|
|
when you release the mouse).
|
|
<P>
|
|
When you choose a brush the name and the size of the brush will appear in
|
|
the brush dialog. The brush size is measured in pixels.
|
|
<H4>
|
|
Settings
|
|
</H4>
|
|
<P>
|
|
The Mode pull-down menu lets you select what kind of mode your brush will
|
|
use. Brush Modes can best be described as the way your paint will be applied
|
|
when you draw. There are several modes available, all modes will be described
|
|
in the <A HREF="../modes.html">Modes</A> page since they work the same way
|
|
as the Layer modes.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The Opacity slider sets the amount of transparency. With the max value of
|
|
100, your brush paints with a solid color. An Opacity of zero gives you total
|
|
transparency (or invisible paint).
|
|
<P>
|
|
Spacing is the distance between your brush marks. If you set the spacing
|
|
to 100 the brushmarks will be like a bead of pearls. If you set the spacing
|
|
to zero, the brushmarks will create a solid, brush-shaped line. If the spacing
|
|
is higher than 100 the brushmarks will form a dotted line. Note; it mostly
|
|
not useful to set the spacing to zero since the brush (most notably fuzzy
|
|
once) will look unnatural.

|
Pixmap Brushes
|
|
</H4>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Pixmap brushes are small images (with or without color) that can be used
|
|
as a brush. Since the brush is a image you can't alter is't color. I.e the
|
|
color setting in the toolbox will not apply to this image. Note: That if
|
|
you use color as a pressure sensitivity when you paint you will be able to
|
|
change the color of the pixmap brush. For information how to create and save
|
|
a Pixmap Brush please see the <A HREF="../save/filters/gpb.html">Gimp Pixmap
|
|
Brush</A> page.

|
Image House Brushes
|
|
</H4>
|
|
<P>
|
|
The Image House brush is a specialized pixmap brush, you will notice that
|
|
the brush is a Image House by the little red triangle in the bottom right
|
|
corner. The difference between a Pixmap brush and a Image House is that the
|
|
Image House is containing one or several Pixmap brushes.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The preview of a Image House is also a bit special, since a Image house is
|
|
built up of several Pixmap brushes you will see all brushes displayed as
|
|
a small animation when you invoke the preview function (press and hold on
|
|
the brush preview).
|
|
<P>
|
|
Since the Image House is built up of several Pixmap brushes there are functions
|
|
to control which of the brushes you will paint with. The functions are
|
|
incremental, angular, random, velocity, pressure, xtilt and ytilt. To give
|
|
you an idea say that the Image House is built up of several arrows and has
|
|
angular as control function. Then you will be able to paint arrows that follows
|
|
your movements when you draw. Note: That you can't edit those function they
|
|
are built into the Image House brush file when it was created. For further
|
|
explanation of how to create Image Houses please see the
|
|
<A HREF="../save/filters/gpb.html">Gimp Pixmap Brush</A> page.
|

|
|
New, Edit and Delete Brushes
|
|
</H4>
|
|
<P>
|
|
You can create new brushes by clicking on the new button. This will bring
|
|
up the <A HREF="../dialogs/brush_editor.html">Brush Editor</A> dialog where
|
|
you can create your brush. You can edit brushes created in the brush dialog,
|
|
invoking edit on brush of that type will once again bring up the Brush Editor
|
|
dialog where you can alter your brush. Naturally you can also delete brushes
|
|
created in the Brush Editor, just click on Delete and they will vanish.
