gimp double cursor

Hi All,

// sorry if this is not the right place to ask

I'm in the process of customizing paint tools in Gimp for a specific application (more on that later), and I've hit a wall which I can't seem to be able to figure out. I'd appreciate any pointers. What I'd need at some point to be able to display a second (virtual) cursor, similar to how it is in the clone tool during the process of cloning itself, so when I move the real cursor around and paint something, the second virtual cursor should follow the movement of the real one with a defined offset/distance - nothing more, just follow the movement of the real cursor. I'd appreciate any help in what would be the proper (if there's any) way to do this.

Thanks, Levente.

Here's your answer. Read the clone tool code. Specially the bits where draw tool is used.

Here is another solution to the problem, which may or may not be similar to the method used in clone. The code certainly needs more documentation, but I hope you can figure out how to use it from the test-dovtk-lasso.c example.

Alexia: thanks, but I'm over that, but I didn't get very far in e.g. transferring clone functionalities into paintbrushtool. Dov: thanks, I'll check into that.

Clone tool is a child of the paintbrush tool as far as I know. You really shouldn't move any functionality to the paintbrush. If you want clone like behavior make a new tool using the cone tool as template. If you just want paintbrush tool to show a second brush outline look at the methods that use the gimp_draw_tool.

Thanks, I managed to make it work, by hacking the gimpbrushtool, more precisely the gimp_brush_tool_draw(), using the gimp_brush_tool_draw_brush() to place another brush at the correct offset position.
Thanks,
Levente.
