Creating Animated Screenshots on Linux
499212
This is a cool little feature I've been wanting for a while now.  Every once in a while I'll develop some cool feature in some software that I'm writing and want to show off a screenshot.  The only problem is that without showing how it interacts with the user I can't demo the features raw power.  An animated screenshot would solve this but no existing screenshot tools support animated gif output.  It turns out that 'convert' from ImageMagick supports. Ksnapshot can be used to grab the screens and 'convert' can stitch them together.  Heres what you do:  - Startup ksnapshot and take a series of snaps from your application.  Each   snapshot should be an independent frame in the series.  - Save ...

FreeImage is easy to use, fast, multithreading safe, compatible with all 32-bit versions of Windows, and cross-platform (works both with Linux and Mac OS X).       Thanks to it's ANSI C interface, FreeImage is usable in many languages including C, C++, VB, C#, Delphi, Java and also in common scripting languages such as Perl, Python, PHP, TCL or Ruby.     The library comes in two versions: a binary DLL distribution that can be linked against any WIN32 C/C++ compiler and a source distribution. Workspace files for Microsoft VC++ 6 and VS.Net 2003 are provided, as well as makefiles for Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris 9.     What's new for FreeImage ?   ---------------------------   This maintenance release improves the speed of the GIF encoder, adds a new JPEG downsampling feature (useful to generate thumbnails) and also provides a better MacOSX makefile. As usual, check the changes log for full details (especially for bug fixes) and check also the updated FreeImage documentation.    Where can I find FreeImage ?   ----------------------------   FreeImage can be downloaded from:  http://freeimage.sourceforge.net

To each his own, but I love eye candy.  When I heard that you could get the 3D Xgl and Compiz environment running on Ubuntu/Kubuntu dapper (my default distribution), I immediately searched the web for instructions.  Most of the instructions take a reasonably timid approach, which gets your 3D environment running in a test console (the second display, or :1).  I'm more adventurous, however, and I immediately went for a total replacement.  What follows are instructions for doing the same.

Mikko Koppanen has another image tutorial posted to his blog today - this time the focus is on padding a thumbnail with the color of your choice automatically.   Today's example originates from a question asked by a user. How do I thumbnail the image inside given dimensions proportionally and fill the "blank" areas with a color? Well, the answer is here.   His code pulls in the source image, generates a thumbnail from it and makes a new image (the background) that's a bit bigger than the thumbnail. From there, the thumbnail is laid on top and the whole thing is output as another PNG. An example of the input and output image is included.
