Both of these also provide a way of specifying units.
You can also drag the selected rectangle to the desired location, and
re-size the selected rectangle by dragging one of its corners.
Could not figure out what you were saying. Thank you anyway! Gimp
is a nightmare to operate!
Hmm. I've /never/ used the GIMP, but it made sense to me, because it
sounded like advice for a similar package I've used.
Is the problem that you don't recognise the advice about the 'Toolbox'?
A quick Google found me this:
https://superuser.com/questions/645532/i-accidentally-closed-my-gimp-toolbox-can-i-get-it-back
where a picture (about 3 answers in, the one starting "This is what the
default dialogs look like...") showed me what I thought had been
described... a 'Toolbox' showing commonly used tools.
And, fortuitously it happens to show Rectangle stuff.
You can see in the box showing possible selection tools ("Toolbox - Tool
Options") that (as far as I can see) the first one - the rectangle one -
is selected.
Under that there's another box - "Tool Options" with the selection mode
selected. And under that there's input boxes for both the position and
size of a rectangle. I'd expect that if you have actually selected an
existing rectangle, that its X,Y and width/height values would be in
those boxes, and could be overtyped. That's what I think the previous
person was trying to say.
I find Gimp very difficult to use. I have a whole list of keepers files
with directions on how to do this and that. Without them, I am
completely lost. Nothing is intuitive to me.
