The CinePaint Project

The CinePaint Tutorial

by Robin.Rowe@MovieEditor.com

GUI (FLTK-based)

• CinePaint (Film Gimp) - based on GIMP 1.0.4 - released
  Grokking the GIMP is a good tutorial.
  This legacy app is based on GTK1, not FLTK.
  Scheduled to be retired in 2006.
  
• CinePaint (Glasgow) - new - CVS
  New FLTK-based CinePaint scheduled for release Dec. 31, 2005.
  Buggy and incomplete but getting there.
  
• CineCalc - RPN Calculator - based on PoloCalc - CVS
  Download Test.Me contains Win32 executable
  Usable. Needs to have time and timecode math added and better stack display.
  
• Splat - simple paint - based on AntiPaint - CVS
  Buggy, needs some work.
• Yage - gradient editor - CVS
  Usable, but not clear how. Needs a good user how-to doc.
  Download Test.Me contains Win32 executable
  
• GraphicsDisplay - simple image display - based on GraphicsMagick - planning
  Maybe we can port the MFC or X11 code to FLTK.
• hdr_display - HDR image display - based on exrdisplay (OpenEXR) - planning
  Does tone-mapping. We may add support for many more file formats.
• PFSTools - HDR - planning
• Snaps - screen snapshots - inspired by ksnapshot - planning
  Need an FLTK snapshot tool.
• Mickey - hex editor - planning
• flscan - scanner support - planning
• flphoto - image sorter - planning
• imview - image viewing and analysis - planning
• gmsh - graphical meshes - planning

• texture synthesis - planning
• terraform - planning
• 3d Planetarium - planning
• SharpConstruct - planning
• RawDrop - planning
• Kafka - planning
• ICC Examin - planning
• IFS Fractals - planning

Console

• img_img - command-line tool similar to GraphicsMagick 'convert' - new - CVS
  Stable, but incomplete. Only supports PPM now (8-bit and 16-bit).
  OpenEXR support coming next. Will offer 12-bit JPEG and JPEG2000 support.
• GraphicsMagick 'convert' - best DPX support - planning
  Integration planned to enable gm plug-ins to read/write file formats for Glasgow (in addition to img_img).

Server

• open_img - shared memory image server - new - planning
  Key Glasgow component to enable tools to work collaboratively.
• verse - remote replication server - planning
  Integration planned to enable sharing images in memory across a network.

Library

• libunistd - unistd.h support for Wine32 - new - CVS
  Eases porting of unix-based apps to Win32. Avoids sprinkling #ifdef in Linux code.
• FLTK - GUI toolkit - CVS based on version 1.1.6
  A small fast toolkit that was developed in the film industry.
  Many minor fixes that eliminate almost all the Win32 build warnings.
  May work for Win64 too but not tested.
  Definitely not binary compatible with OEM version.
  We use as static link only, not dll.
  New VCPP7 project file that may or may not be better than one in OEM version.
  Removed dependencies on image format libs (JPEG, PNG).
  Removed files we don't use (e.g., OS/2 support).
  Reorganized code in subdirectories.
• Gel - Tiny GUI toolkit and data structures - new - CVS
  Robin's utility library.
• libjpeg - based on IJG - CVS
• libpng - CVS
• zlib - CVS
• JamVM - planning
  A tiny Java VM that may come in handy later as a scripting engine.
