Graphics Applications As you can see, the GIMP application is a discrete window containing a menu, an icon toolbar, and color information. Each new image is seen in its own separate window (not shown here), which carries its own menu (accessed by right-clicking on the image). The application is considerably more powerful than Microsoft Paint, and its features are more closely aligned with applications such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. For example, it supports: Numerous paint tools Support for layers and channels Advanced scripting and plug-in capabilities Gradient editor and blend tools Transformation support such as rotate and scale Multiple file formats The GIMP’s features are too numerous to list in detail, and again we will leave you to play with the application. The online documentation (found at http://www.gimp.org/docs.html) is very thorough and this can be supplemented by the documentation found at its main web site (at http://www.gimp.org/). In addition, a large collection of resources, available from the web site, covers patterns, palettes, brushes, gradients, scripts, and fonts, and contains links to other important web sites for The GIMP (such as a plug-in registry at http://registry.gimp.org/index.jsp and the very useful GIMP User Group - or GimpForce - at http://gug.sunsite.dk/). GQView GQView is a simple application that allows you to view a number of graphical images simultaneously. You start by selecting the directory in which the graphic files exist, and then either selecting the file from the left-hand pane with its image being displayed in the right hand pane or using the Slideshow feature available on the View menu. To start this application, select Main Menu | Graphics | More Graphical Applications | GQView Image Viewer or run gqview from the command line. The screenshot below shows the utility being used to display screenshots from the Red Hat Linux installation process that we covered back in Chapter 1: 155
