| 00:18 | Welcome to the tutorial of Meet The GIMP. |
| 00:21 | My name is Rolf Steinort and I am recording this in Bremen, Northern Germany. |
| 00:27 | Let's start the tutorial with an e-mail which I got. |
| 00:33 | I got an email by David Vansalan and he asked me how to draw simple figures with geometries with GIMP. |
| 00:45 | So, let's first start with the most easy way i.e with the straight line. |
| 00:55 | A straight line can be difficult to draw but if you make a point here and press the shift key and make another point, you can easily draw a straight line. |
| 01:14 | So, these are straight lines. |
| 01:19 | Press Ctrl + Z to Undo. |
| 01:24 | A square is a bit more complicated. |
| 01:28 | Just go to toolbox and select the Rectangle tool. |
| 01:36 | And keep the Aspect ratio as 3 by 3. |
| 01:41 | So, it should be a square. |
| 01:44 | Now, I have a square selection. So, go to Edit >> Stroke Selection. |
| 01:52 | I can do some changes here. |
| 01:55 | I can fix the Line width or I can use the paint tool and I select Paintbrush in paint tool and click on Stroke. |
| 02:10 | And here you have your square. |
| 02:14 | If I want to fill this square, it's easy, just go here to my colour pallet and drag the black colour into the square. |
| 02:25 | The same can be done with the ellipse selection. |
| 02:30 | I just can select Ellipse and go to Edit and select Stroke Selection. |
| 02:40 | For more complicated figures, select Paths Tool. |
| 02:46 | I can create a path by making points and when I click on the last point, my path is finished. |
| 02:56 | Then I can go here to Edit and start to modify these handles the way you want to. |
| 03:06 | You can practice it and understand. |
| 03:10 | It's very easy. |
| 03:17 | The last thing I want to do is stroke the path. |
| 03:22 | And I get the same options here and when I click on Stroke, I have a perfect line. |
| 03:29 | It's not a straight line but its perfect line. |
| 03:34 | And this was it for this week. |
