GIMP-Plug-In

-------------------------------------------
Some code is taken out of other plug-ins
written by other authors.
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------
To install it, you have to edit the
Makefile (change install-path).
Afterwards run make. This will compile
and install the plug-in in the right
directory. Once the new code is installed,
you can run the GIMP and enjoy the new
functions and effects it provides.
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
REDUCE CODE SIZE
-------------------------------------------
With this new release 1.01 the size of
the logo in the about box has been reduced
in order to make smaller binaries. In
general the compiled plug-in will be
about 25-30% of the size of version 1.00.
If you find that the plug-in is still
too big, you can compress the executables
with the gzexe program (if it is avaiable
on your system). To do so, change to the
plug-in directory of the GIMP...
cd /usr/local/lib/gimp/VERSION/plug-ins
...and execute the command...
gzexe PLUGIN_NAME
...and remember to remove the uncompres-
sed binary, which has been renamed to
PLUGIN_NAME~, by running the command:
rm PLUGIN_NAME~
This will result in a code size of about
35 to 40 kB, which isn't too much IMHO.

FEEDBACK
------------------------------------------
I'm interested in any feedback, comments,
bug-reports, suggestions etc. If you
have anything you would like to tell
me, you can write to cotting@mygale.org.
Also have a look at the GIMP-section of
my homepage at www.mygale.org/~cotting.

Thank you and happy GIMPing!
