<0> funky: have you ever done an emerge world?
<1> how do i select an object and do a gradient INSIDE of it?
<2> reklez: are you kidding?
<0> really ~
<0> like after installation.
<2> Im using gentoo since 4 five ago or so
<2> obviously I've ran emerge world multiple times
<0> did you get any problems with devfs?
<2> I dont use devfs since long time ago, actually its deprecated in gentoo
<2> take a look to udev documentation
<3> nzk: create the selection and then use the gradient tool
<1> Oh, thanks
<1> How do I make an arrow?
<4> that question is so open ended it's ridiculous
<5> Hehe.
<5> Wrong channel maybe.
<0> who was here that has gentoo installed?
<5> I did.
<5> A long time ago.
<5> For like 3 days.
<0> anyways, did you ever emerge world?
<5> I don't remember.
<5> I hate gentoo.
<5> I pretty much forced myself to forget everything about it.
<0> ah. okay.
<0> too many noobs at the forums with petty bugs.
<0> anyways.
<0> what distro you use now?
<0> nm.
<5> Oh, sorry.
<5> I got into a programming discussion.
<5> Lol.
<5> Back now.
<5> I use archlinux.
<5> Oh, he left.
<6> probably had to rebuild his IRC client for optimal performance...
<5> Hehe.
<7> And I'm back now and use gentoo :-)
<8> Is it possible in the GIMP to trace a bitmap and save the traced layer in a vector-based format?
<8> I've drawn a mollern but to use it as a logo, I would like it in SVG (or something)
<8> hello coz_
<9> ball, hey guy how are you?
<8> Well thanks, and yourself?
<9> ball, not too bad thanks?
<9> !
<9> ball, youwant to make a rasterized image into an svg
<8> Yes, although I'm willing to trace it if that's possible.
<9> ball well you will always lose information with that conversion however, depending on the image , you can do it in inckscape or an application names SVGpage
<9> ball, if you decide wither one the SVGpage is the simplest way but does not always give the best results, the converted image sometimes has a painterly effect
<8> There's not much information there... mostly I want the outline.
<9> ball, well then open inkscape and impret that image
<9> then go to..mmm hol don let me open inkscape
<9> ball, ok when you imprt aht image make sure you go to edit select all
<8> Okay, I'll see if I can find inkscape somewhere.
<9> ball, then go to the "Path" menu and choose Trace Bitmap
<9> ball, then you should be able to just "save as" make sure that .svg is the file extension and then name it and save it whrer youwant
<9> ball, what linux are you running?
<8> coz_: at present? None. Well no, come to think of it, I /do/ have Yellow Dog Linux on an old iBook, but that's only because it won't run NetBSD.
<8> (won't boot NetBSD, it runs the installer fine)
<9> ball, are you on windows?
<8> No, NetBSD.
<9> ball, mm I don't know for sure but i would guess that inkscape is avaiable for that also
<8> I'll look in pkgsrc for it.
<9> ball, let me check
<5> Inkscape. =/
<5> In theory it's real nice, but i can
<8> No, it's not in pkgsrc/graphics
<5> t get the hang of it.
<9> ball, check this out http://pkgsrc.se/graphics/inkscape
<10> Title: pkgsrc.se | The NetBSD package collection (at pkgsrc.se)
<8> I'll be back in a few minutes, I have to do something.
<9> mm
<9> according to my googling, it is avaiable for that flavor , but I amy be wrong :)
<8> coz_: odd that it doesn't show up in my pkgsrc tree.
<8> I found it :-)
<9> ball, cool:)
<8> inkscape, not Inkscape ;-)
<9> ok
<8> Thanks for the tip, I'll try that.
<9> ball, have fun:)
<9> ball, the other alteranative is to simply draw that image again in inkscape, apply a stoke color to it at the width you want and then save it
<8> "simply" is the catch there ;-)
<8> I'm not good at drawing.
<9> ball, that sounds easy to say but can be a pain to find if you are not familiar with inkscape:)
<9> ball, may i ask what the drawing is?
<8> It's a mollern.
<9> ball, oh! :0 I have no idea what that means :)
<8> outline form, very simple drawing but the curve is hard to get right.
<9> i am googling right now
<8> Mollern = bird: ardea cinera.
<9> ball, ah yes a grey heron
<9> ball, mmm not necessarily it appears
<8> not necessarily what? grey?
<9> ball, according to google images there are other birds with that name that look nothing like a heron
<9> ball, nevertheless, Ijust downloaded a greyscale image of a heron with a gray background and ran it through inkscape for an svg file
<8> other birds of the ardea family, but the cinera is the grey heron... or mollern.
<9> ball, would you like me to post it somewhere
<9> ok
<8> coz_ sure, I would be interested in having a look at the results.
<9> hold on
<9> ball, not supported, is you nic registered?
<8> yes
<9> cool i will try to dcc the file to you now hold on
<8> Will imagebin take SVGs?
<9> ball, no
<9> oh I don't know I tried imageshack
<9> let me try imagebin
<8> what's the command to receive a file? :-)
<9> ah I am not sure i usually get a pop up that lets me accept it
<8> Try sending it again, I know the command now ;-)
<9> ok
<9> there it is
<8> I didn't get it. Could you email it to me?
<9> ball, sure
<8> aball@students.prairiestate.edu
<9> ball, both the original gif and the converted svg are attached
<8> thanks
<9> ball, you will always notice an image degredation when converting from bitmap to svg
<8> oh.
<9> ball, did you get that
<8> Yes. The SVG is more complex than I had hoped for, but it shows that the conversion is possible.
<9> ball, one thing you may want to do is bring that into a bitmap editor like gimp, strenglthen the lines and then convert it
<9> strenglthen
<9> no thats not it either
<9> strengthen
<9> yeah!
<8> Thanks. My original is more like line art, perhaps that will help.
<9> ball, yeah it will but expect some degredation as i aid

<11> how can i make that background gif tiled so that there's a spinning figure diagonally staggered?
<11> is there a script for that?
<8> spinning background? eww!
<11> people love it
<11> i guess myspacers are into lame ****
<11> i used to have the colorcycling gif that's in the contact table as my background
<11> people loved that even more...but i changed it up
<8> Whatever happened to readability?
<11> that went out years ago
<11> it's a new era, my friend
<11> it's all about diagonally staggered tiled spinning backgrounds now
<11> if you can help me get into the game, i'd appreciate it
<8> Good, then I can ignore the Internet from now on ;-)
<12> lol @ ball
<12> <8> I'm really interested in this conversation, but can't keep up.
<8> zezozose: you could ask in #html, #web or #css (if there is such a thing)
<8> Fear_cult: it's true, I'm in too many channels.
<11> no
<11> i'd have to do it with the gif
