− | Tools in GIMP enable hands-on manipulation of the compostion, direct on the canvas.
| |
− | | |
− | The tool options enable the fine and precise configurations that make the tool fit the job.
| |
− | | |
− | Configuring tool parameters can happen anywhere from almost continuously during a work session - to once in a user's lifetime.
| |
− | | |
− | Changing tool set-ups will never break user’s workflows.

− | == Tool Option widgets ==
| |
− | | |
− | All UI elements are built from a few basic UI building blocks called widgets. A list with images of all current available GTK+ 2 widgets can be found at [http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/2.24/ch02.html] and their respective GTK+ 3 counterparts at [http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.4/ch03.html]. Since GIMP has special needs it also has quite a few widgets of it's own, a number of them (the external accessible ones) can be found at [http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/libgimpwidgets/libgimpwidgets-gallery.html].
| |
− | GIMP also has a number of additional internally used widgets, quite a few just extend basic GTK+ widgets for a specific need, without altering the visual look and feel. However, there are also completely new widgets for specific needs like those used for pressure curves or the gimpspinscale, a mix of a spin and scale button that is now used by a lot of tool options. A third category are ''meta'' widgets that mix together a few basic widgets in a certain fashion for a particular purpose, an example is the gimpscaleentry which consists of a label, scale slider and spinbutton (look at Tools->Color Tools->Brightness-Contrast menu).
| |
− | | |
− | An exhaustive list of widgets is unneeded as most tool options only use a basic subset of aforementioned widgets, the following table is a list of those common widgets used in tool options and their GIMP counterparts if applicable.
