Hi, I'm trying to do something with Gimp that is perhaps a little unusual. This is causing me a problem, but I'd like to know if it can be overcome easily. I'm using Gimp 1.2.0 on a Sun SPARCstation with Solaris 8. I would like to create a bitmap (.BMP) with Gimp that can be read by a scientific application I have written. This application looks for specific colours such as red (0xff0000), black (0x000000), white (0xffffff) and green (0x0x00ff00). I need to create an image that uses these colours and *only* these colours. However, when I draw a red circle using pure red, on a pure white background, the edges of the circle are pink, containing some red, and equal amounts of green and blue. Likewise if I create a small bitmap (say 5 x 5 pixels) and set these pixels to the values I want, expanding the image in Gimp creates pixels of intermediate colours. I appreciate this is more aesthetically pleasing, but Gimp's interpolating colours is causing me a problem. Is there any obvious way to stop colour interpolation ? -- Dr. David Kirkby Ph.D, email: drkirkby@xxxxxxxxxxxx former email address: davek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web page: http://www.david-kirkby.co.uk Amateur radio callsign: G8WRB
