In this section, you will learn how to create simple objects in GIMP. It's pretty easy once you figure out how to do it. GIMP provides a huge set of Tools and Shortcuts which most new users get lost in.
Let's begin by painting a straight line. The easiest way to create a straight line is by using your favorite brush tool, the mouse and the keyboard.
Procedūra 7.1. Tiesios linijos brėžimas
Create a new image. Select your favorite brush tool or use the pencil, if in doubt. Select a foreground color, but be sure that the foreground and background colors are different.
Create a starting point by clicking on the image display area with the left mouse button. Your canvas should look similar to Pav. 7.31, „A new image“.
Dabar paspauskite klavišą Shift ir perkelkite pelę tolyn nuo pradinio sukurto taško. Pamatysite ploną liniją, rodančią kaip atrodys linija.
If you're satisfied with the direction and length of the line, click the left mouse button again to finish the line. GIMP displays a straight line now. If the line doesn't appear, check the foreground and background colors and be sure that you kept the Shift key pressed while painting. You can keep creating lines by continuing to hold the Shift key and creating additional end points.
