Figura 15.29. 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. Ativando o diálogo

O diálogo de Buffers é um diálogo de encaixe;veja a seção Seção 2.3, “Caixas de diálogo e de encaixe” para mais informações sobre como gerenciá-lo.

Você pode acessa-lo:

  • 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.

    O diálogo de Pincéis simplificado

    The button bar at the bottom offers the following functionality:

    • Smaller previews

    • Larger previews

    • View as list

    • View as grid

    • Open the MyPaint brush selection dialog

    Perceba que, dependendo das suas preferências, um pincel selecionado pela lista flutuante pode se aplicar somente à ferramenta ativa, não a todas as ferramentas. Veja a seção de Preferências da caixa de ferramentas para ter maiores informações.

3.3.2. Using the MyPaint Brushes dialog

3.3.2.1. Modos de grade/lista

No menu de giuas, você pode escolher entre Ver como grade e Ver como lista. No modo de Grade as formas de pincel ficam dispostas de forma retangular, tornando fácil ver vários de uma vez e encontrar o que você quer. No modo de lista, as formas ficam em uma lista, uma abaixo da outra, com o nome de cada pincel do lado direito.

No meu das guias, as opções de Tamanho da pré-visualização permitem que você possa adaptar o tamanho das pré-visualizações de pincel para um que seja confortável.

Modo de grade

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.

Modo de lista

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. Rotulando

You can use tags to reorganize the MyPaint brushes display. See Seção 3.7, “Rotulando”.

3.3.2.4. Botões na parte de baixo

The button bar at the bottom offers the following functionality:

Edit MyPaint Brush

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

Duplicar pincel

This button is always disabled.

Remover pincel

This button is always disabled.

Atualizar pincéis

If you add brushes to your personal 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

Right clicking on a brush preview opens a context menu. Most of the commands of this submenu are described with the Buttons, except for the following.

Copy MyPaint Brush Location

Copy MyPaint Brush Location allows you to copy the MyPaint brush path to the clipboard.

Show in File Manager

Show in File Manager opens the location of the MyPaint brush in the default File Manager on your system.
