It can draw circles.

>>108000157Is that a Gimp joke?
>>108000174
>>108000194It used to be called *THE* Gimp.
>>108000157bad circles fyi gimp can do the same bad circles but I forgot how
Not looking good for The Gnu Is My Pepper.
I once killed a windows 95 pc from paint somehow.

>>108000381Create a big enough canvas, run out of mem, it hangs. Did that enough times.
>Gimp can't draw circ-
>>108000157No it wasn't. MsPaint was released in 1995. Paintbrush was a completely unrelated codebase. The source code for both have been leaked, they don't have a single line of code in common.
>>108000224circle selection -> selection to path -> stroke path
>>108002426How can 2 programs which both do similar things not have the same code? There’s only one way to draw a circle
>>108000157/g/ programming challenge: make your own paint program in as small code as possible. It must support drawing circles.
>>108002464You can draw a circle using trigonometric functions.You can draw a circle using Pythagorean theorem.You can draw a circle using that clever trick that only uses integer maths to plot a small section of a circle and repeats it to draw the whole circle.So there's at least three different ways to draw a circle
>>108000157>1985>400kbSo it was giga bloat when it was released
>>108002353>inb4 antialiasingjust supersample it and downscale final image
I need a fast to open image editing software with stuff like resizing, cropping, changing format etc. But paint fucks with the image, their resizing algorithm is abhorrent garbage while every other program and browser has variety of different options for it. These days I cant even copy paste and image from chrome to paint without it fucking with the resolution.Is there a way to get paint but without it fucking up resizing and res?

>>108002426I'm doing the best with the information I have access to.I was not even born in 1985 but I think we can both agree that very old programs can draw circles.
>>108000157Paint is bad at drawing circles.
>>108000157I came back to windows after years of linux, and realize how much of a joke linux desktop is.Server is good though.
>>108002353haha this is fucking amazing, I had no idea gimp allowed this.
>>1080001571) The thing on your screenshot most certainly was not made in 1985. Even with compatibility layer (not present in most currently running Windows installations), Win16 applications can't look like that (using modern controls).However, Microsoft, being Microsoft, unofficially backported Windows 95 controls to 16 bit to build later versions of Internet Explorer for Windows 3 and other programs (comctl16.dll), and even hooked the drawing functions to mimic the new look (ctl3d.dll). But that only gives you close-but-not-quite-Windows-95 style with gray panels, not styled ones from XP and later versions.https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_GUI#Common_Controls_and_Common_Dialogshttps://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20241119-00/?p=110543http://www.win3x.org/win3board/viewtopic.php?t=14706https://www.owenrudge.net/vb/commctrl2) PC program from 1985 most certainly was not 400 KB. Compare it to a regular 5 inch floppy disk capacity, for example. Moreover, it was possible that the computer did not have that much memory at all at the time. Windows 1 mentioned 256 KB of memory in its system requirements. Sure, people had more, and running (later, real) Windows for any real purpose required more memory, but 400 KB program is still a bit too much.3) Programs in GUI environments use code and resources of operating system and its graphical environment libraries. They say, “I want a window with that size, with those items in the menu, with status bar showing that text, with such and such other objects drawn here and there”. It is done for them by the system. So the size of the program, at least in the old times, only hinted at amount of code and resources used for its specific task. A lot more code remained in system libraries, and was used dynamically. Without them, program won't work.4) There were multiple versions of 32-bit mspaint.exe, toohttps://betawiki.net/wiki/Paint
>>108006731Software today still pulls resources from the operating system.

>>108006247GIMP gets a bad rep because many don't consider it a viable Paint or Photoshop alternative despite being the most famous OSS painting software.And for most part I agree and tools like Krita are better for mainstream usage, but GIMP is a pretty damn interesting software on its own.I'd call it a painting programming application.A lot of features that's taken for granted on Photoshop nowadays appeared first on GIMP thanks to its scripting capabilities. Content aware fill is probably the most famous case.
>>108007067Software today might be a tiny wrapper that starts a server side process or VM using some toolkit with its enormous dependencies, which in turn starts the client side browser window in disguise with another toolkit with its enormous dependencies loaded to run the web application, and code that does task-specific work is sprinkled all across the script sources, or is dynamically generated on the server side from templates and injected into the client application. It is a bit harder to calculate the size of that program, or define what the program is.

>>108005923Haven't they taught you that Wikipedia is not a reliable source? You need to learn how to read it instead of copying words and numbers like a robot. Use some common sense, compare with what you know about old and new operating systems, and come to a conclusion that such single step lineage is probably too simple.
>>108002464>There’s only one way to draw a circleLmao! Did you ever finish high School? If you had you should at least know of two or three different methods center–radius definition: generate points that stay a constant distance r from a center (h, k)parametric angle loop: sweep θ from 0 to 2π and compute x = h + r cos(θ), y = k + r sin(θ)implicit equation sampling: scan points and keep those where (x − h)2 + (y − k)2 ≈ r2midpoint / bresenham algorithm: raster circle using integer math and 8-way symmetrypolygon approximation: draw a regular n-gon with many sides to approximate a circlevector rotation: repeatedly rotate a radius vector by a small angle using a rotation matrixcomplex number rotation: start with z = r and multiply by e^{iΔθ} each stepdistance field threshold: compute distance-to-center per pixel and draw where distance ≈ rfourier reconstruction: combine sine and cosine waves that trace circular motionphysics constraint simulation: move a point while enforcing a fixed-length constraint to a centerturtle graphics: move forward a small step and turn a constant angle repeatedlybezier curve approximation: join multiple cubic bézier curves arranged to form a near-circle
Paint wasn't a graphics editor it was a feeling.
