|Welcome to the tutorial of Meet The GIMP. My Name is Rolf Steinort and i am recording this in Bremen, Northen Germany.
|-

|Lets start the tutorial with an e-mail which i got. I got an email by David Vansalan and he asked me how to draw simple figures with geometrics with GIMP.
|-
|00:53
|So lets first start with the most easy way i.e with the straight line.
|-
|1:03
|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.
|-
|1:22
|So these are straight lines.
|-
|1:27
|Press Ctrl + Z to Undo.
|-
|1:32
|A square is a bit more complicated. Just go to tool box and select the rectangle tool. And keep the fixed aspect ratio as 3 by 3. So it should be a square. Now I have a square selected so i go to Edit, Stroke Selection.
|-
|2:00
|I can do some changes here. I can fix the line width or I can use the paint tool and select the option here. So i select paint brush in paint tool and click on stroke. And here you have your square.
|-
|2:22
|If I want to fill this square, its easy, just go here to my colour palet and drag the black into the square.
|-
|2:33
|The same can be done with the ellipse selection. I just can selection ellipse and go to Edit and select Stroke Selection.
|-
|2:48
|For more complicated figures select Paths Tool. I can create a path by making points and when I click on the last point, my path is finished.Then I can go here to Edit and start to modify these handles the way you want to. You can practice it and understand it very easily.
|-
|3:28
|The last thing i want to do is stroke the path. And I get the same options here and when i click on stroke, I have a perfect line. Its not a straight line but its perfect line.
|-
|3:58
|And this was it for this week. For more info goto http://meetthegimp.org and if you want to send a comment, please write to info@meetthegimp.org. Good bye.
