Hi,
for a longer time I missed easy usable shapes in GIMP. The current solution
GFig is IMHO too unprecise and the integration of vector layers from
GSoC 2010
is postponed for later (see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557970#c20).
Since bug #613885 is solved, it's now possible to import vector paths from
other programs. I used this chance and created some shapes with Inkscape
to use
in GIMP: rectangles, squares, polygons, circle, ellipses, arcs, pies,
triangles, stars, wave, spiral, trapezoid. There are rectangles, sqares and
stars with 'normal' and rounded corners. I think, that's enough for
first and
fulfills most of the needs.
Currently I'm unsure how to provide them to be easily accessible from
the UI.
Should I provide them in a subfolder of the source's data-folder or via
Gimpstuff?
My time is currently very rare, but I'd like to help out in GIMP, if I can.
Yesterday and not knowing about this question here I posted the same
message in Bugzilla, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65197.
So, if one of the main developers or contributors would like to answer,
he or she can do so in reply to this message or in Bugzilla.
Greetings,
Sven
