Requesting a graphing calculator.

Can it be done? In school I'm starting to work with sine waves... and after seeing some examples the teacher was using I was thinking it would be kinda cool to see in this. Would a script that fills a layer with a graph of a given equation be difficu...

How do I mimic this effect?

Like in the ESRB logos? I want to make an icon that looks kinda like the ESRB logos, how the text is black on white background but where letters overlap that spot turns white too. Is there a way to do this with layer blending? I'm not sure how to do ...

Break a Vector Text box into individual shapes?

I've been working on a logo for a class project, and I decided to use a regular font to start, and edit it as a shape later. I did find out how to convert it to a shape, but it converts it to ONE shape rather than a set of separate shapes. What's eve...
Thanks! Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about. I saw the "new sub-path" thing on the context menu. I was wondering what that was... You know, in the next update, you should make a few buttons easier to find, and maybe add a mass-convert-to-shape button. You know, select 5 objects and convert them all to shapes.

Filmstrip-to-GIF?

The filmstrip exporter should have a reverse function... I have been using the Export Filmstrip tool in RW Paint Animation mode, so I can use that recolor plugin you made a while back, and I just realized that it's a lot more complicated to turn it b...
OH WAIT NEVERMIND HAHAHA JUST FOUND IT. I didn't see the "create" menu that holds the create-animation-from-spritesheet-thing. I was thinking it'd be under "file" or something. Ha ha you can delete this question.
It did install properly on 8.1 but I couldn't find the Control Panel for Thumbnails... but then again, I don't exactly know what I'm looking for... it didn't show up in Windows Search either...
Ah, OK thanks

Question about systems.

Does Paint have a 64 bit edition? And does Thumbnails work in Win8.1? Does Paint have a 64 bit edition? And does Thumbnails work in Win8.1? I just got a new computer so I'm still setting up shop.
You're awesome, Vlasta! Thanks! Hey, is there a way to do a script in Vector mode while we're at it?
That's me, sorry. Just got a new cookie eater plugin. (Bad computer! No more cookies for you!)

Tips for controlled blur / smudge?

Trying to hide a seam. Is there a trick that works as well as the Photoshop Smudge tool? I'm trying to hide a seam after sticking two photos together.

How to make RWCommand files?

and how do I edit the toolbars BTW? Vlasta has made a handful of files called RWCommands that are essentially scripts that you drag and drop on the toolbars and you just added a new button to the system. This is a pretty neat trick and I'd love to se...

Shift pixel row?

Rubik's square! I have a project that involves shifting a single row of pixels over and having them wrap around, kinda like the Move tool on Wrap mode but with just one row/column of pixels. Is this do-able? Or hey, if it's simpler, maybe just a Wrap...
Great! Thank you so much! Perfect! One more question, what piece of code would I edit to change it from "shift row" to "shift column" mode, and what would I swap it with? I don't mind messing with code myself if I know what I'm doing but I don't know what I'm doing. Oh, and how does someone make a RWCommands file, by the way? Vlasta made a few that I borrowed but I di...
That's not quite right... What I had in mind was more like cutting it, sliding it over, and pasting into the gap. Like... uh... shifting the top row 2 pixels might look like... |- |123456 -> |345612 |- |789012 |789012 ...except colors instead of numbers. Does that make any sense? I can't make it look right...

Painting animations

Export to video? I really like the animation part of Paint. But do you know what would make it better? Making it possible to plug animations from Paint into video editors and stuff. Hey, Vlasta, if you read this, do you think you could work on a WMV ...
Hey, sorry for necro-ing this thread but I have an idea! Why not talk to the guy in charge of VirtualDub, he's got a pretty good video editor! And it's a plugin-loving app too so you could cross-integrate your apps! I'd definitely write whoever is in charge. virtualdub.com

Request for shaped gradient fill?

You know, like Microsoft's Path fill tool in Office? I know it's a complicated thing but does anyone know if it's possible to make a gradiented shape fill tool that is customizable like the others but takes the shape of the object you're drawing? Tha...
Actually that's really good! Thank you! 😁
