The @file{Identity/Brushes} directory exists to organize GIMP
|
|
|
0dc09e |
brushes used inside @value{TCPCVI}.

A brush is a pixmap or set of pixmaps used for painting through an
|
|
|
0dc09e |
image manipulation program like GIMP. Inside the repository, brushes
|
|
|
0dc09e |
are initially created in @file{.xcf} format and later exported to any
|
|
|
0dc09e |
of the brush formats recognized by GIMP (e.g., @file{.gbr} or
|
|
|
0dc09e |
@file{.gih}) using the same name of its source file.
|
|
|
0dc09e |
|

The @file{Identity/Brushes} directory is under version control.
|
|
|
0dc09e |
|
|
|
4c9448 |
The @file{Identity/Brushes} directory contains no file, but the
|
|
|
0dc09e |
following organizational directories:
|
|
|
0dc09e |
|
|
|
0dc09e |
@c -- <[centos-art(SeeAlso)

Content rendition inside @file{Identity/Brushes} directory is
|
|
|
0dc09e |
not supported.
|
|

|
|

0dc09e |
In order for brushes to be loaded by GIMP, they should be stored in
|
|
|
0dc09e |
the @file{~/.gimp-2.2/brushes} directory. This location is out of
|
|
|
0dc09e |
@value{TCAR} and doesn't provide version control by itself. To be able
|
|
|
0dc09e |
of using version controlled brushes inside GIMP, we store brush
|
|
|
4c9448 |
related files inside @file{Identity/Brushes} directory and
|
|
|
0dc09e |
create links to them from @file{~/.gimp-2.2/brushes} directory.

The entire link preparation and maintenance of brushes inside the
|
|
|
0dc09e |
working copy is automated by @code{prepare} functionality of
|
|
|
0dc09e |
@command{centos-art.sh} script.
|
|
|
0dc09e |
|
|
|
0dc09e |
Inside the working copy, brushes might be created individually in
|
|
|
0dc09e |
different locations, but they all need to be linked from one unique
|
|
|
0dc09e |
location (i.e., @file{~/.gimp-2.2/brushes}). This configuration may
|
|
|
035705 |
provoke brushes to overlap one another if a consistent name convention
|
|
|
035705 |
is not implemented correctly. In that sake, the brushes file names
|
|
|
035705 |
are build using their directory and file names as reference in order
|
|
|
035705 |
to build unique names that can be used as identifiers.

Brushes produced with GIMP has a description field associated that is
|
|
|
0dc09e |
shown in the Brushes panel of GIMP. This description is set when the
|
|
|
0dc09e |
brush is created as @file{.xcf} file and can be updated when it is
|
|
|
0dc09e |
exported either to @file{.gbr} or @file{.gih} format. It wouldn't be
|
|
|
0dc09e |
too useful to have two or more brushes using the same description so,
|
|
|
0dc09e |
we also make description of brush files unique, too. In that sake, use
|
|
|
0dc09e |
the file name as description but without including the file extension
|
|
|
0dc09e |
(e.g., if we have the @file{centos-flame-3.gbr} brush, its description
|
|
|
0dc09e |
would be @code{centos-flame-3}).
