Any Gimp users here?
Is there any way in Gimp to draw (and save) vector shapes (like rectangles, circles,etc...)?

are you speaking of vector graphics? or do you just want to draw a rectangle and have it rendered to pixels
if you want hte later just use the pencil tool
then shift-click somewhere else
keep shift clicking until you have your shape

Yeah, i already (after a long time ) figured that out. And also the draw along a path method.if you want hte later just use the pencil tool

But vector grafics are much more efficient when it comes to changes.
I haven't found a possibility to use them in gimp.

Don't mind if i correct you ;-DEnlightenment wrote:AFIAK the GIMP can't do vector graphics.pontiac wrote:I meant the vector grafics
GIMP can handel vector grafics with the Gfig plugin (in the render menu).
But it's an extreme simple form to do it.
Thanks for the links, i didn't know these programs until now.hellcatv wrote:xfig can do vector gfx
But they are not what i was looking for
A program which can handle vector grafics (that means in combination with raster grafics and gradients) like webdraw (jasc) or paintshop pro (also jasc)
I don't know Adobe Illustrator, but it's not free so it's no real option for me
Something i found when searching for an alternative:
http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net
i will look into this.
