Time Narration
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.
03:37 For more information go to http://meetthegimp.org and if you want to send a comment, please write to info@meetthegimp.org. Good bye.
