3.3. MyPaint Brushes Dialog

図15.35 The MyPaint Brushes dialog

The MyPaint Brushes dialog

The MyPaint Brushes dialog is used to select a MyPaint brush, for use with painting tools: see the MyPaint Brush tool section for more information on MyPaint brushes and how they are used in GIMP. The dialog also gives you access to several functions for manipulating brushes. You can select a brush by clicking on it in the list: it will then be shown in the Tool Options area of the Toolbox when the MyPaint Brush is the active tool.

3.3.1. ダイアログの呼び出し方

バッファーダイアログはドッキング可能です。 その扱い方については 「ダイアログとその合体」 の節をご覧ください。

呼び出し方はつぎのとおりです。

  • From the main menu: WindowsDockable DialogsMyPaint Brushes.

  • From the Tab menu in any dockable dialog by clicking on and selecting Add TabMyPaint Brushes.

  • From the Tool Options dialog for any of the paint tools, by clicking on the MyPaint Brush icon button, you get a popup with similar functionality that permits you to quickly choose a brush from the list; if you click on the button present on the right bottom of the popup, you open the real MyPaint brush dialog.

3.3.2. Using the MyPaint Brushes dialog

3.3.2.1. 升目表示と列挙表示

ブラシダイアログのタブメニューで 並べて表示一覧で表示 を切り替えられます。 並べて表示を選ぶと一度にたくさんのブラシ見本が探せるように各ブラシアイコンは升目状に並べられます。 一覧で表示の場合はブラシ見本とその名前が一覧表に列挙されます。

タブメニューの プレビューサイズ サブメニューでダイアログに表示されるブラシ見本をお好みの大きさに調節できます。

並べて表示

At the top of the dialog appears a filter box where you can filter the MyPaint brushes shown based on their tags; and the name of the currently selected brush.

In the center a grid view of all available brushes is shown, with the currently selected one outlined. Below the grid is a box that shows the tags assigned to the currently selected brush.

一覧表に列挙して表示

For the most part, the dialog works the same way in List mode as in Grid mode, with the following exception: the name of the current brush isn't shown at the top.

3.3.2.2. MyPaint Brush previews

When you click on a brush preview, it becomes the current brush and it gets selected in the MyPaint Brush Tool Options. You can also click on buttons at the bottom of the dialog to perform various actions.

3.3.2.3. タグづけ

You can use tags to reorganize the MyPaint brushes display. See 「タグづけ」.

3.3.2.4. ダイアログ底部に並ぶアイコンボタン

At the bottom of the dialog you find the following buttons:

Edit MyPaint Brush

This is currently always disabled since GIMP does not support editing MyPaint brushes. This is also the reason why there is no create new brush button.

ブラシの複製

This button is also always disabled.

ブラシの削除

This option is always disabled as far as I have seen.

ブラシの更新

If you add brushes to your personal MyPaint brushes folder or any other folder in your MyPaint brushes search path, this button causes the list to be reloaded, so that the new entries will be available in the dialog.

Some of functions performed by these buttons can also be accessed from the dialog pop-up menu, activated by right-clicking anywhere in the brush grid/list, or by choosing the top item, MyPaint Brushes menu, from the dialog Tab menu.

3.3.2.5. The MyPaint Brushes context menu
