  How to write Chinese
Posted by: renemolbo - 06-10-2023, 12:47 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

I have been looking for already made practice sheet for learning to write Chinese. They either cost money or have random characters, and usually those that cost money are also missing random yet important characters.

My goal is to have:
1) Something that looks like the attached picture. The one on the right is pretty good, but I would like all the like to be dotted. Besides that I would like that the centre looks neat (the one on the left has a strange centre). 
So my questions are very basic usage of Gimp I guess.
a) How do I make the frame to be a perfect square?
b) How do I make the horizontal and vertical lines perfectly in the middle?
c) How do I make dotted lines?
d) How do I make the diagonal lines perfectly from corner to corner?
e) How do I make the centre of where all the lines meet look nice?


If someone knows of a tutorial on how to get the job done please refer me to one. 
I did all of this 15 years ago on Windows XP/7 version of a Corel Paintshop Pro. But later my computer got stolen and I lost all of it. Corel then made it impossible to use the version I had paid for on Windows 10, so then I decided to go with Gimp, but I have forgotten many of the techniques I learned back then and now I am also using a different program.
 
If you don't know on any tutorial that can help me do this, then please let me know where I can upload a tutorial. I would love to share how to do it as I am learning it.

When I am done with this step then I will post about the next step in my "how to write Chinese"

IDK, maybe you wondering why i picked this subject out of all the current issues right now with SCOTUS, but anyway this is what i did. Thoughts? (edit: file too big; i indexing+downsizing - max file size 500kb)

  [split] Rotating on Y axis like Map Object (Plane)
Posted by: nachocoin - 06-08-2023, 03:47 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (3)

(03-09-2023, 11:47 PM)Ofnuts Wrote: Map object is not unusable (or even that hard to understand).... until you want to map something to an existing cylinder in your image, that elicits considerable amounts of trial and error, first for the size/position/rotation, then for the lighting. If/when they redo Map object with a live preview on the canvas then things will be a lot easier.

I have been looking to map the y axis of plane mode via a python script
any help would be greatly appreciated

specifically try to get orientaion y to rotate(-180, 180, 5)
but all attempts so far have given the incorrect results. I can do this manually but when i need to create so many layers it becomes too time consuming. 

her is the last script i tried:

'''
import math
from gimpfu import *

def rotate_image_on_y(image, drawable):
    for angle in range(-180, 185, 5):
        # Create a duplicate of the drawable (layer)
        duplicate_layer = pdb.gimp_layer_new_from_drawable(drawable, image)
        
        # Add the duplicate layer to the image
        pdb.gimp_image_insert_layer(image, duplicate_layer, None, -1)
        
        # Rotate the duplicate layer on the Y-axis
        pdb.gimp_item_transform_rotate(duplicate_layer, math.radians(angle), True, 0, 0)

    pdb.gimp_displays_flush()

register(
    "rotate_image_on_y",
    "Rotate Image on Y-Axis",
    "Rotate image on the Y-axis",
    "Your Name",
    "Your Name",
    "2023",
    "<Image>/Filters/MyScripts/Rotate Image on Y-Axis",
    "*",
    [],
    [],
    rotate_image_on_y)

main()

  CMYK PDF Export
Posted by: EnigmaState - 06-08-2023, 01:32 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hi, ive got a project that ive building in 2.10 and when exporting it needs to be in PDF 300dpi CMYK.
Ive installed the colour palette in order to view it in CMYK. Ive also got 2.99 installed too.


What im wondering is how is it possible for me to export to PDF with the CMYK colour scheme? Unfortunately I cannot export to PNG or any other format as this file is going to be printed for a vinyl record sleeve so has to be PDF.

Its been a whole learning curve for me this and im right at the end but didnt realise the CMYK thing so now trying to get my head around how I can do this.

Any help would be immense! Smile

  layer to image
Posted by: denzjos - 06-08-2023, 07:42 AM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - No Replies

I was making a drawing with layers and want to expand a certain layer to the image size. It did not work. Not thinking about a bug, I racked my brain to find a solution and I noticed that the layer was locked. I had to see that on the menu because the 'layer to image size' was grey. So, another find for me during the gimp learning curve.

  Crashes on first launch
Posted by: promisem - 06-07-2023, 03:48 PM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (1)

I reinstalled 2.10.34 after an earlier version started having plugin crashes. The new install freezes when loading tile.exe. I have tried reinstalling it and confirming that the directory was deleted before trying again. Windows 10.

EDIT: The program launched after 3 or 4 tries.

  Python Fu
Posted by: DoggoOfSpeed - 06-07-2023, 12:03 PM - Forum: Scripting questions - Replies (3)

Tried to create my first script to save all open files and while it works, I've encountered a strange issue.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python

# Author: DoggoOfSpeed

from gimpfu import *
import os


def save(image, path):
   for layer in image.layers:
       image_name_clean = os.path.splitext(
           os.path.basename(image.filename))[0]
       full_path = os.path.join(path, image_name_clean + '.xcf')
       pdb.gimp_xcf_save(0, image, layer, full_path, full_path)


def save_all(path_type, custom_path, x, y):
   open_images = gimp.image_list()

   for single_image in open_images:
       location = os.path.dirname(single_image.filename)
       location_parent = os.path.dirname(location)
       if x == 0:
           save(single_image, location)
       elif x == 1:
           if not os.path.exists(location + "/Saved"):
               os.mkdir(location + "/Saved")
           save(single_image, location + "/Saved")
       elif x == 2:
           if not os.path.exists(location_parent + "/Saved"):
               os.mkdir(location_parent + "/Saved")
           save(single_image, location_parent + "/Saved")
       elif x == 3:
           save(single_image, y)
       single_image.clean_all()


register(
   "save_all",
   "Save All",
   "Saves all opened images",
   "DoggoOfSpeed",
   "DoggoOfSpeed",
   "2023",
   "<Image>/Save All Images",
   "RGB*, GRAY*",
   [
       (PF_OPTION, "path_type", "Save Path", 0, ("Next to Original",
        "In Sibling Folder", "In Parent", "In Custom Folder")),
       (PF_DIRNAME, "custom_path", "Custom Path", os.getcwd())
   ],
   [],
   save_all)

main()
For some reason, the function save_all() receives 4 arguments instead of the 2 requires (I added the variables x and y to accommodate that). Not only that, those variables actually contain the data from the PF_Option (in y) and PF_Dirname (in x) when I'd expect them to be in path_type and custom_path respectively. So my question is why and how do the 2 unwanted parameters appear there?

I have downloaded and installed the resynthesizer plugin on my MacOS Ventura 13.4, but it does NOT show under Filter > Enhence. You can see that the files are in the plugin folder, but they don't show up in the app menu. Does anyone know what's going on? Please help!

  Why don’t my custom palettes persist?
Posted by: tomory - 06-06-2023, 07:05 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

Hi, everyone,

I created a custom palette for a design I’m creating but when I quit and reopen The Gimp, it’s not in the list. This has happened twice in a row now. Do I need to do something special to make Gimp save my custom palette?

It’s not a huge deal because my design has only five colors in it. Still, it’s inconvenient to have to keep recreating it.

(I’m using Gimp 2.10.34 revision 1 on Mac OS Ventura.)

Thanks.
