This article discusses Paths (graphic design) in GIMP.
Contents
Description
Paths are curves (known as Bézier-curves).
A path is either open or closed.
- An open path has two endpoints: it is an articulated line
- A closed path has no endpoint: it is an articulated circle
Purposes
Paths have two main purposes:
- Paths can be stroked -- that is, painted on the image in a variety of ways
- Convert a closed path to a selection
Path tool
The Paths tool allows you draw arbitrary paths for a variety of purposes.
To use the Paths tool in GIMP, you must first create a path.
You may then take various path-related actions, including:
- Save the path
- Stroke the path
- Create a selection from the path
Creating a path
...
Stroke path
The term “Stroke path” means to apply a specific style to the path (color, width, pattern... ).
