On the road to G'MIC 3.4

[David_Tschumperle (G'MIC staff)]

This post lists all the changes/additions done to the G’MIC software, starting from the version 3.3.0, until we reach the next major release 3.4.0.
Most of these features are available in latest stable version of G’MIC (3.3.0) after a filter update ($ gmic update).

New features:

• [gmic-qt-331] New filter Arrays & Tiles / Loose Photos simulates an effect of loose photos that are spatially arranged to recreate a global picture.

• [stdlib-331] Command font returns a font identifier that can be used in text drawing commands, to draw text with more various fonts than the default one.

• [stdlib-331] Command font2gmz converts a .otf or .ttf font file as a gmz font file that can be used to draw text with custom fonts.

• [math-core-331] New function ispercent(arg) returns 1 or 0 whether arg ends with a % or not.

improvements / Modifications:

• [core-331] Removed possibility of having stand-alone { ... } blocks in scripts. Now { ... } can be only used for constructs that require a done ending item.

• [core-331] Command text can now use a custom font defined as an image in the list, in addition to a image-valued variable name.

• [stdlib-331] Command img2str has been recoded from scratch. It returns the content of the selected images, as special G’MIC input strings.

• [stdlib-331] Command display: Add forward/backward modes for 3D mesh animation.

• [stdlib-331] Command text_outline now accepts a custom font as argument.

• [stdlib-331] Command input_obj: Improve import of .obj mesh with per-vertex defined colors.

Bug fixes:

• [gmic-qt-331] Fix aspect ratio of preview error when using gui_error_preview.

I would like for display to generate all of the image information on the CLI at once without having to click on images on the display. display is ever only going to be used for knowing what the output would be.

Still hoping for a variable density Hilbert fill option (why not add to the wishlist). lol

Before I put out a issue, I’d like to know why this isn’t working out:

This is not practical to do this if you have a lot of images (e.g. 100+) to display at the same time.
This overflows the terminal with information that is probably too detailed for the average person.

Workaround: You can define the following command:

my_display : 
  v 1 print 
  v 0 display

[Reptorian]

@David_Tschumperle

my_display : 
  v 1 print 
  v 0 display

Can I set this to default display?

[David_Tschumperle (G'MIC staff)]

@Reptorian

Can I set this to default display?

Rather use:

$ gmic update

Then set global variable _display_print_images to inf, in your cli_start command:

cli_start : 
  _display_print_images=inf

[Reptorian]

It works though I have to wait for it finish printing before displaying images.

A simple case test:

$ +pal *

The above generates all of the palettes available within +pal which is 385 palettes.

That’s precisely why it’s actually not a good idea to print all images, and why I’ve limited it to the first 5 images by default.
