<0> hey guys I have an image of the state of ohio and the counties in it....i want to outline the counties in red that my company serves how do i do this in gimp
<0> anybody able to help me with this
<0> At0mic_P1: you there
<1> Muad_Dib, lol, a fan of Dune?
<2> hi
<1> I guess someone has to say Hi
<1> OfficerHotpants, Hi
<2> :)
<2> i want to make a background for a website that uses purple to black gradiation from top to bottom
<2> what is a good way to create that?
<1> Use a gradient fill?
<1> :))
<2> but how big of an image should i make
<2> lets say i do an image x height by 1 pixel wide
<2> should I do top to bottom purple to black?
<1> OfficerHotpants, CSS would be a better option
<2> okay
<2> :(
<3> You need to use CSS regardless
<3> But it can't create gradients on its own.
<3> You can create a background image that's 1 pixel wide and decently tall, and do a gradient fill on that.
<3> Then a few CSS background repeat rules and you're set.
<2> yeah
<3> I don't know what "decently tall" will be, though.
<2> but i didn't want to do that because then you have a bunch of images stacked on top of each other
<2> well lets say it's 10 pixels
<3> They're next to each other, not on top.
<3> Decently tall > 10 pixels
<2> right. but i'm just throwing out numbers
<2> but lets say its 1 pixel wide and 10 pixels in height
<3> Why?
<2> and i have purple at the top and black at the bottom with gradiation
<3> How about one pixel high and 800 pixels in height?
<3> er, one pixel wide
<2> i'm just throwing out numbers
<2> but that would work
<3> Or more.
<2> y'know, thats a good idea. almost
<2> the problem now would be with peoples resolutions
<3> Until SVG becomes usable for background images, there's nothing you can do about that.
<2> let's say someone is using a crappy computer with a crappy monitor and they still use 640x480
<2> actually no
<2> no one uses that anymore and still goes online
<3> Not necessarily a crappy monitor. I fire up Xnest sessions with low resolution all the time.
<2> so yeah
<2> 1x800 works
<3> They contain the GIMP sometimes, and web browsers other times.
<3> Making ***umptions about your viewers' resolutions is a bad thing to do.
<2> i know
<2> but either way i'm not going to get the solution i want
<3> You can make the image tall enough that it's taller than all conceivable content.
<3> Or you can use a gradient fill that "wraps around."
<2> what do you mean "wraps around"
<3> Same color on the top and bottom pixels.
<2> meaning it goes from purple to purple?
<3> Purple to something to purple.
<3> Or whatever.
<2> again, an acceptable solution but not what i wanted
<2> hold on a sec
<2> ok nm. i'm back
<2> i want my webpage to have the background start at the top purple and to the bottom black with nothing repeating
<3> Regardless of content height?
<2> but you're solution might be the best one
<2> right
<3> Smoothly?
<2> yeah
<3> You do realize that's not possible, right?
<2> but the thing is i don't plan to have content on my site that the user actually has to scroll down for
<2> i'm slowly coming to terms with that
<3> Another thing to try is stretching the height of the background image, if CSS allows it.
<3> I've never tried that.
<3> But that's not smooth by any stretch of the imagination.
<3> It might be good enough if the image is tall enough (***uming it works to begin with.)
<2> i just found a website that has that
<2> but their solution is to not make that image the background but just a normal image on the page with everything else layered on top of it
<3> No doubt with background images disabled, their site is unreadable.
<2> true
<2> but i can't prepare for everything
<2> and do browsers these days come with that feature? i don't recall ever seeing that
<3> It's way more important that your site be readable than that you get a gradient trick to work.
<3> If I turn off images, javascript, and flash, and cannot use your site as a result, I go elsewhere.
<2> i understand, but i'm not starting a business here, just a fun project
<2> but i do like your previous idea of "purple to something to purple"
<2> that's cl***y
<3> It could look tacky depending on how often the pattern repeats.
<2> not much
<2> thats the original reason why i wanted the purple to black gradiation
<2> because it wouldn't repeat too much, it'd be a simple design and it would look good
<4> Hi. Question about the functionality of gimp (under windows)
<4> nasa releases these "color sets" which are quite large... 200 300 megs each & there's 3 or 4 of them depending on rgb or cymb or whatever the other set is. it's raw data from satellites you can recombine into the press photos nasa releases. they have to be ***embled in photoshop
<4> I'm just wondering if the gimp is capable of handling such large files & doing the same process on them
<5> ha!! wow.
<5> what compression do they use on that? 7zip, i'd hope ;)
<4> ya
<4> there biggest raw photo is over a gig actually.... but I'm only interested in the 200~300 meg ones :-)
<5> :----------------------o
<5> photos of what, space?
<4> all sorts of stuff
<5> coz, holy crapola.
<5> earth?
<4> planets, stars
<4> hmmm
<4> maybe
<4> I dunno
<5> jeemany christmas.
<4> I'd have to find the ftps again
<4> there's few dozen different sites
<5> see that's exactly what the heck a public agency should do
<5> is publish all its raw data, proactively, to the public
<4> oh nasa is great at releasing data
<5> as much as possible
<5> yeah.
<4> check out nasa world wind for an end user product
<5> well obviously they're one of the most scrutinized and vital public entities
<4> in fact nww has it's channel right on freenode cause it's gnu
<4> #worldwind
<4> well maybe not gnu.... but open source
<4> not sure of the license actually
<5> k
<5> oh is worldwind that project that maps the planet
<4> ya
<5> k o o l
<5> i'm pretty sure that it didnt run on linux when i heard of it last.
<4> nah.... dx/.net project due to funding
<4> which is very little
<4> & the use *lots* of bandwidth
<5> :-o
<5> what's funding got to do with the use of a proprietary framework for public applications? monopolistic blackmail?
<4> *shrug*
<4> they decided it's get more done
<4> though some of the newer devs to project are making some interesting moves towards ports
<5> the absolute bare minimum they can do is target mono and/or wine
<5> from the beginning
<4> heh
<4> anyways
<4> any idea on gimps abilities?
<5> someone said the other night that gimp can do raw
<5> they published a composite of three raw files
<4> hmm
<4> should do I hope
<4> not enritely familiar with what process in photoshop to use but good as any thing to try
<4> & can always install photoshop alter
<4> later*
<5> no you can't!
<5> ;)
<4> would like to stay with gimp though... smaller, more in line with what I need most the time
<5> also, google it
<4> & have other programs using the uhhh
<5> "gimp edit raw" or something
<4> gtk whatever library
<5> yeah.
Return to
#gimp
or
Go to some related
