[Tuxpaint-devel] GSOC: Andrew Corcoran - New Magic Tools

[Andrew C. <aka...@gm...>]

Hey everybody,


My names Andrew Corcoran and I'm a recently graduated Computer Engineer
currently based in Ireland. For the GSOC I'm working with Caroline Ford
(secretlondon) on creating new magic tools for tuxpaint. So far I've created

Convert to greyscale

Convert to binary (only two colours, pure black and pure white)

Silhouette tool - A sobel edge map

Trace Contour - Similar to the same name plugin in photoshop, trace the
edges of the image in colour

Blur All - A full image gaussian blur

Snowball - Adds snowballs to the image

Snowflake - Adds snowflakes to the image

Sharpen - enhance the edges of the image to make it "pop" more


I'm also in the process of working on several ideas, namely a tool to add
random noise to the image, a mosaic tool, a jigsaw tool and a clustering
tool that will segment the image into only a small number of colours. If
anyone has any comments, or suggestions for new tools that they would like
to see implemented Id love to hear them.


Regards,

Andrew
