Patrick, Hi. Please don't suggest I said that Film Gimp is merely "trying" to do its own thing. It has been its own thing for many years. I couldn't help but notice that within minutes of recommending Film Gimp abandon itself to join GEGL, you posted a question to gimp-developer asking how to create a bit converter function using Gimp. May I ask a silly question? Since you are so keen on GEGL, why aren't you developing with it? A question for everyone who is recommending GEGL, have any of you ever tried it?

Now, I noticed gimp has really high quality versions.... would it be possible to convert gimps functions to do: (with the converter) take an int 24bitimage[width][height] and return a char 8bitimage[width][height] and a int palette[256], those 256 entries being the 256 most used colors and all colors that dont match are set to the closest palette entry that matches. (with the bicubic resizer) take an int 24bitimage[width][height], and int newheight, newwidth, and return int 24bitimage[newwidth][newheight] I probably shouldnt ask this on here, but a) this is the only place that people familiar with the gimp source go, and b) I cant find what the functions are even called, nor what file they would be in. -- Patrick "Diablo-D3" McFarland || unknown@xxxxxxxxx "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." --Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick McFarland" <unknown@xxxxxxxxx> To: <gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2002 3:13 AM Subject: [Gimp-developer] I am a newbie, yes its true On 30-Nov-2002, Robin Rowe wrote: > A lot of text about how film gimp is trying to be its own thing. Well, first I would like to say film gimp should be moving to a GEGL target. Not because film gimp is gegl, but because gegl is so damn useful. (Well, will be useful if/when it gets done.) And gegl would be the perfect place for film gimp and gimp to share all the "difficult" base code (like, dare I say it, single precision fp layer rendering code.) Speaking of that, has anyone seen fg's xcf loader plugin? I heard he was sick... Maybe someone should send him some chicken soup? -- Patrick "Diablo-D3" McFarland || unknown@xxxxxxxxx "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." --Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989
