Free gimp arrow and cursor brushes software for linux

GIMP arrow and cursor brushes project consists of 17 sets of arrows and three cursors (a total of 72 brushes) to put in your GIMP brushes folder.

Arrow brushes is my small payback for using the great GIMP program.

I had a hard time (actually impossible) finding any arrow brushes for the GIMP.
But .gbr files are easy to make, so I spent two days of my life making these arrows
(and a few "cursors") as my modest contribution.

Use them for anything youd like. If you redistribute them, please include this file.

I post these, and perhaps make updates, at gimphelp.org. All the items will also be included (in png format) at wpclipart.com, the Public Domain clipart site.

GIMP circle brushes provides circle brushes for use as "rubber stamps" in the GIMP.

GIMP circle brushes can be used with one click instead of creating outline circles by making a circle, filling with black, shrinking, and filling with white.

The following pixel sizes are provided: 6, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 140, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600.

Circle brushes are my third brush collection for use in the GIMP.

It was brush week for me.

Making circles is a bit of a pain with the GIMP. I know the Make a circular selection,
fill it black, shrink it, fill it white thingy -- but come on already... if I can rubber stamp a
premade circle brush where I need it instead, wouldnt that be kinda nice?

These were fairly easy, in theory. I had to add a bit of extra feathering to the above technique to get nice circles in all the sizes. Also several 45-degree rotations which smoothed out a lot of upper-end noise.

I also tried exporing from Inkscape, but the paths I converted to bitmaps did not work out as well as I had hoped and wound up sticking with the GIMP to create all
of them.

Sizes I made are:

6,12,15,20,24,30,40,50,60,80,100,140,200,300,400,500 and 600.

Use them for anything youd like. If you redistribute them, please include this file.

Installation:

Stick them in the GIMP brushes folder and either "refresh brushes" or restart the GIMP. I put them in the system-wide folder, on my Slackware machine this folder is located at: /usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes

You should also have a local brushes folder at: ~/.gimp-2.x/brushes

Edit Brushes is a script in Python for The Gimp, this script allows you to generate, delete, duplicate and EDIT brushes generated from images.

The Graphics Muse Tools are a collection of plug-ins and scripts for use with GIMP. The package now includes a set of C plugins (GFXArrows, GFXCards, GFXTrans, GFXLayers, GFXMerge, and GFXShapes) and a set of Perl scripts (GFXDodge, GFXGallery, GFXLayerSave, and GFXLayerOffsets).

Gimp::Module can run scripts embedded into the Gimp program.

SYNOPSIS

not anything you would expect - and not documented, even!

GIMP ASCII Load/Save Plugin package is a set of identical plugins Save 2 ASCII, and ASCII 2 Image, which make saving (loading) images to (from) ASCII text.

GIMP ASCII Load/Save Plugin is very useful if you are using GNU Octave & GIMP together for Image processing. These plugins are distributed under GNU GPL, which you may modify and redistribute.

ASCII 2

Functionally this script tries to create an Image from a text-file that had been processed with the Octave or anything else.

LIMITATIONS: No support for multiple-layers or alpha.

USAGE: Choose a given ASCII file which you want to visualize, and with a knowledge of its column size & row size type those in and select gray/color option, then press ok and wait. You must see your matrix visualized on GIMP.

Save 2 ASCII

Functionally this script tries to save the Image into a text-file for processing with the Octave or anything else.

LIMITATIONS; Cannot save layers.

USAGE: Choose an image, and select if you want it saved as a ASCII file in gray/color mode (1bit-per-pixel(bpp) or 3bpp), and press ok. A new file will be created in your $HOME directory by default, or the directory where you started GIMP from. You can optionally override this by specifying the full path in filename field.

Gimp::OO is a Perl module with pseudo-OO for Gimp functions.

SYNOPSIS

use Gimp; # Gimp::OO is now part of Gimp.

As you might have noticed, you can sort most gimp functions fall into three groups, depending on the name-prefix: gimp_, plug_in_, extension_ etc..

Whats more, there are functions groups like gimp_image_ or gimp_selection_, operating on a common object, Images and Selection in this case.

If you only had the plain syntax, your scripts would quickly aquire the "vertical gimp syndrome":

gimp_palette_set_foreground(...)
gimp_layer_new(...)
gimp_palette_set_background(...)
gimp_image_add_layer(...)

etc. Of course, your fingers will suffer from severe injuries as well.

A solution to this situation is to use OO-syntax. Gimp plays some (very) dirty tricks and provides a number of classes, like Gimp::Image and Gimp::Palette that allow shorter identifiers to be used (all these appear with the Gimp:: prefix as well as without, i.e. Gimp::Palette is the same class as Palette).

If you call a method, Gimp tries to find a gimp function by prepending a number of prefixes until it finds a valid function:

$image = Gimp->image_new(...); # calls gimp_image_new(...)
$image = Image->new(...); # calls gimp_image_new as well
$image = new Image(...); # the same in green
Palette->set_foreground(...) # calls gimp_palette_set_foreground(..)

Return values from functions are automatically blessed (through The Magic Autobless feature ;) to their corresponding classes, i.e.

$image = new Image(...); # $image is now blessed to Gimp::Image
$image->height; # calls gimp_image_height($image)
$image->flatten; # likewise gimp_flatten($image)
$image->histogram(...); # calls gimp_histogram($image,...), since
# gimp_image_histogram does not exist
The class argument ($image in the above examples) is prepended to the argument list.

Another shortcut: many functions want a (redundant) image argument, like

$image->shear ($layer, ...)

Since all you want is to shear the $layer, not the $image, this is confusing as well. In cases like this, Gimp allows you to write:

$layer->shear (...)

And automatically infers the additional IMAGE-type argument.

As the (currently) last goodie, if the first argument is of type INT32, its name is "run_mode" and there are no other ambiguties, you can omit it, i.e. these three calls are equivalent:

plug_in_gauss_rle (RUN_NONINTERACTIVE, $image, $layer, 8, 1, 1);
plug_in_gauss_rle ($image, $layer, 8, 1, 1);
plug_in_gauss_rle ($layer, 8, 1, 1);

You can call all sorts of sensible and not-so-sensible functions, so this feature can be abused:

patterns_list Image; # will call gimp_patterns_list
quit Plugin; # will quit the Gimp, not an Plugin.

there is no image involved here whatsoever...
