Size sanity check
by Bill Kendrick

Rate this Message:
I've noticed a lot of stamps in Tux Paint have default sizes that are too large. We can provide hints, via .dat files for each stamp. Would someone here be willing to go through and either: (a) determine which stamps need help (b) do both (a) AND actually go in and fix them ? Thanks! :) -- -bill!

Here are a few examples of too large (and also too small): * Helmeted guinea fowl * Brown slug * Woodlouse * Ant [svg] * Monarch butterfly [svg] * Spider [svg] (two of them) * Pair of glasses [svg] (two of them) * Pair of sunglasses [svg] (two of them) * T-shirt [svg] * Small cake [svg] (Also note: looks like a 'cupcake') * Pair of cherries * Strawberry * Cherimoya fruit ... etc. Again, I'm talking about the default size that the Stamp tool presents for a given stamp. (Don't change the PNGs themselves, just tell Tux Paint to default the size to something smaller. Kids might WANT a huge woodlouse on their picture, but they're more likely to want a bunch of small ones. :) ) Pretty much anything that looks like the default size (in the size control at the bottom of the screen) is at the far right (max, full, whatever), then it's likely that a hint needs to be given. (e.g., "scale 23%" or whathaveyou, in the .dat file.) EXTENDING docs should have details... I honestly forget what can be done here. (I think Albert added this feature.)

The majority of those are mine.. I guess my judgement is off. I've been aiming for ~300 pixels largest side.

Your size for PNGs is fine, and with SVGs you can't do anything about it. Like I said, we want users to be able to bump the size way up, so high-res stamps are a good thing. Tux Paint just needs hints for sane /default/ sizes. (i.e., rather than the size control be at 100% by default, have it at something a little smaller.) ... just a case of no .dat files, or lack of 'scale...' option therein. -bill! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I know this because Sugar will misbehave if an activity icon is not the right size. I think Wikipedia uses the specified size when you view the SVG by itself, much as you'd view a PNG at full size. BTW, I added **part** of the scaling. It had been some sort of unbounded percentage thing that wouldn't let you get back to the exact original size and didn't have reasonable bounds. It also didn't adjust for canvas size. The *.dat files didn't support scaling either; they were just for tinting IIRC. You did the scaler itself and all the UI controls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

SVGs do have some sort of > default size embedded in them. Ah, ok, I wondered. In any case, we're not picking it up. We probably can, since we're using SVG libraries directly. I'll add a ticket to SF.net. <snip> > BTW, I added **part** of the scaling. <snip> > The *.dat files didn't support scaling either; Er, sorry, that's what I meant. You added the option to the .dat file, so off the top of my head, I can't remember what kind of options it can take. I guess I'll get off my butt and look it up. :) If your stamp would be too big or too small, you can specify a scale factor. If your stamp would be 2.5 times as wide (or tall) as it should be, add the option "scale 40%" or "scale 5/2" or "scale 2.5" or "scale 2:5" to your image. You may include an "=" if you wish, as in "scale=40%". Thanks! -- -bill!
