Welcome to the tutorial of Meet The GIMP.

2
00:00:21 --> 00:00:26
My name is Rolf steinort and I am recording this is Bremen, Northen Germany.

3
00:00:27 --> 00:00:32
Lets start the tutorial with an e-mail which i got.

4
00:00:33 --> 00:00:44
I got an email by David Vansalan and he asked me how to draw simple figures with geometrics with GIMP.

5
00:00:45 --> 00:00:54
So lets first start with the most easy way i.e with the straight line.

6
00:00:55 --> 00:01:13
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.

7
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
So these are straight lines.

8
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
Press Ctrl + Z to Undo.

9
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
A square is a bit more complicated.

10
00:01:28 --> 00:01:35
Just go to tool box and select the rectangle tool.

11
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
And keep the  aspect ratio as 3 by 3.

12
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
So it should be a square.

13
00:01:44 --> 00:01:51
Now I have a square selection so  go to Edit, Stroke Selection.

14
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
I can do some changes here.

15
00:01:55 --> 00:02:09
I can fix the line width or I can use the paint tool and I select paint brush in paint tool and click on stroke.

16
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
And here you have your square.

17
00:02:14 --> 00:02:24
If I want to fill this square, its easy, just go here to my colour palet and drag the black colour into the square.

18
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
The same can be done with the ellipse selection.

19
00:02:30 --> 00:02:39
I just can select ellipse and go to Edit and select Stroke Selection.

20
00:02:40 --> 00:02:45
For more complicated figures select Path Tool.

21
00:02:46 --> 00:02:55
I can create a path by making points and when I click on the last point, my path is finished.

22
00:02:56 --> 00:03:05
Then I can go here to Edit and start to modify these handles the way you want to.

23
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
You can practice it and understand.

24
00:03:10 --> 00:03:16
Its very easy.

25
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
The last thing i want to do is stroke the path.

26
00:03:22 --> 00:03:28
And I get the same options here and when i click on stroke, I have a perfect line.

27
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
Its not a straight line but its perfect line.

28
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
And this was it for this week.

29
00:03:37 --> 00:03:53
