Hello Friends
What app as Windows’ Paint do you use in Linux? It according with your experience
I know exists GIMP but I need something more simplest
Thank You
i havent used it so i dont know how it is just read something about it .
Try Pinta.
There’s also Kolourpaint…
I use that to highlight screenshots - place text on an image… For crop or resize or rotate or straighten (or brightness / contrast) I just use shotwell (which comes pre-installed on Ubuntu)… Otherwise Kolourpaint… It’s in the Ubuntu repos (sudo apt install kolourpaint)…
And unlke GIMP it doesn’t nag you about saving in XCF format… I will just happily go ahead and save the PNG or JPG you opened… That’s the main thing I hate about GIMP…
Pinta’s also good - per @nevj 's suggestion - however it’s a bit bloated and feature heavy compared to something like Kolourpaint…
There’s also something called MyPaint… and there’s Krita (also a bit bloated and over-featured)…
Sounds better simple is needed.
We should mention inkscape… I know you use it.
No we shouldn’t (mention Inkscape 
) … it’s not a bitmap editor or a paint application - its a vector drawing application - it’s very good - and its native format is SVG… And yes - I use it… But it’s overkill for editing a jpg or png… I do use it for cropping complex shapes out of bitmaps - because it’s a vector editor… Cropping in shotwell is basic squares… In Inkscape you can crop with a circle (crop circles anyone?) - or a star - or - any closed vector shape you like…
OK. It is in a different class… more like Asymptote.
Drawing is another world .
I use
It’s really simple and close to windows versions. Although designed for kids it’s so easy to use and fine for the stuff I do which is not complex.
But of course I get it from the repository not from the site.
First time I’ve ever seen that word… “Asymptote”…
InkScape “competes” against things like Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw… There are others I think… I think LibreOffice Draw is a basic vector art app… and maybe “Scribus”? And there’ve been others that have been discontinued? Aldus Freehand?
But for me it’s InkScape… 20 years ago I was a big CorelDraw user - tried Adobe Illustrator but couldn’t get my head around it and gave up…
You know what an asymptote in maths is?
It is just something I used to use for technical graphs and drawings
No - never heard of it… I kinda hate maths… I’m okay at regular maths like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division - but bugger the rest…
Asymptote is a straight iine that a curve meets tangentially at infinity.
The software us powerful.
I am going to join Dan here and admit never come across this. It used to be we did this site in english, but this one caught me out. If its at infinity, how do we know. Like calculation of pi does infinity exist.
Thought this was going to be an easy question, just want to draw a nice picture to take home after school
Did you guys never do any geometry?
A typical example is the graph of an hyperbola
y= 1/x
It is asymptotic to both the x and y axes
it’s all Greek - and - I learned to speak casual and “market place” Greek, in Greece, as a child, I can read Greek alphabet and sometimes figure out sentences in Greek, written in Greek…
To me “asymptotic” means the anti-thesis of a word “symptotic” - like “asynchronus” vs “synchronus” - but - I’ve never seen the word “symptotic”…
I had to (at gunpoint) do some geometry at high school, all that hypotenuse this, iscoseles that and pythagorus the f— out of that triangle… but that was it - never used ANY of it in 45+ years… bugger trignonometry…
Back to painting - the first digital paint app I learned to use was Deluxe Paint on MS-DOS - it was a port of an Amiga app… it was great… even at 480x320 on a VGA screen with a massive 256 colour palette…
As a colour blind person - here’s what I love about the RGB palette - I can figure out what colour something is by it’s RGB value… Yellow and Green look the same to me mostly (except grass and leaves VS banana and lemons or canaries)… But if the RED value is higher than the blue - it’s most likely Yellow - and not Green
I once used R/B values from a colorimeter as an index of the yellowness of wool samples… so yes, if the blue is deficient it looks yellow.
I have never used a Paint app … no talent there
The word “asymptote” derives from the Greek ἀσύμπτωτος (asumptōtos), which means “not falling together”, from ἀ priv. “not” + σύν “together” + πτωτ-ός “fallen”.[3] The term was introduced by Apollonius of Perga in his work on conic sections, but in contrast to its modern meaning, he used it to mean any line that does not intersect the given curve.[4]
from Wikipedia
So , yes , the ‘a’ does mean ‘not’
Computers sort of have a way of dealing with infinite numbers … if the result of a calculation is a larger number than can be stored in memory as a floating point number, the computer sets the result to a special value (Inf) which is not a true mathematical infinity but is simply an indication of loss of precision.
Yes, infinity exists … at least in the mind. There is positive and negative infinities, and there are some infinities that are larger than other infinities. Dont ask?
There is no physical analog… it is like complex numbers. … I cant show you a jar containing an infinite number of grains if sand, but I can imagine one.
A family member uses it for her hobby, and she likes it a lot. She compared it to what other people she knows use (Clip Studio Paint; Procreate; etc.) and said that it’s as good as them, except for Clip Studio Paint’s 3D poses, or whatever that’s called, (there are free online tools for that) and other small things.
Also, the results look good.
This reminds me of a riddle.
There’s this hotel with an infinite amount of rooms, each room is able to hold exactly one guest and is already occupied.
Now a bus arrives out of which comes an infinite amount of new guests.
How do you give each new guest a room, without them or the guests already in the hotel having to walk for infinity?
- You are not allowed to make anyone walk forever (for infinity).
- You are not allowed to put more than one guest in a room.
What’s its solution?
“Such a really remarkable discovery. I wanted your opinion on it. You
know the formula m over naught equals infinity, m being any positive number?
[m/0 = Inf ]. Well, why not reduce the equation to a simpler form by multiplying
both sides by naught? In which case you have m equals infinity times naught
[m = Inf x 0]. That is to say, a positive number is the product of zero and
infinity. Doesn’t that demonstrate the creation of the Universe by an infinite
power out of nothing? Doesn’t it?”
Aldous Huxley, Point Counter Point, (1928), Chapter XI
I think the solution to your interesting problem is that there is no problem because
Inf +Inf = Inf
there are still only Inf guests after the bus arrives
In the above quote
m/0 = Inf
multiply both sides by 2
2m /0 = 2Inf = Inf
It does not matter what ‘m’ is.
So a hotel with an infinite number of rooms is like a black hole. We can detect black holes … they do exist … they are one type of infinity.
