Re: [SLE] How do i create a circle in GIMP?
Randall R Schulz <rschulz@sonic.net> 07/25/05 12:23 am >>> Stephen, That would be a reasonable expectation for a program designed to be simple and easy-to-use. The Gimp is a very complicated, sophisticated, full-function raster image manipulation program. It's not reasonable to expect it to have a quick learning curve.
I'd suggest you've chosen the wrong tool. Randall Schulz
I completely agree. Too bad SuSE chose it for me I guess. After checking the DVD there doesn't appear to be much else on offer but I think InkScape, although a vector based program, will cater for these basic needs a little better. SteveC

Do you not have KolourPaint? Or the OpenOffice Draw?

Hey, AutoCad is not that easy either, altho it's easy to make circles, and it's vector-based also. I've used it to design prototype pcb's for almost 20 years, and I never went to school for it. I've been told that a clone for Linux exists, but that it's a pretty poor job, unless it has improved lately. If anybody knows, please advise the list. Personally, I have never seen a "drawing" program (as opposed to an engineering program) that I could learn to love. Nor, for that matter, some of the other engineering programs. One of the pcb programs that the professional layout guys were forced to use I did go briefly to school for, and resolved never, ever, to try and use it! --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

There is something pro ported to be like AutoCAD for Linux that has extensive user critiques. Google is your friend :-) (un)-stated program no longer shows on SAL. Scientific Programming on Linux: http://sal.jyu.fi/E/2/index.shtml Neither does PythonCAD show on SAL. It is on the SuSE distros. OSS VariCAD talks to AutoCAD 2D, and does its own 3D very well. non-OSS Personally, I have
