    how did you install gimp? Afaik, the version from the Ubuntu repos is 2.8.22, while the version from the ppa is 2.10.6. Maybe you used the wrong ppa (this here has 2.99)

    In the future if you can launch gimp from the command line instead of a gui it will give you errors on that command line. That can often be more helpful than a picture of a loading bar.

From the Gimp version shown in the splash screen I assume you use the gimp-edge ppa, which is probably not the one you want.



In the description it states:




Attention!



This is a PPA only for development purposes!!!




Better to use the "normal" ppa.



Try this to fix,



# Install ppa-purge
sudo apt install ppa-purge
# Remove the *wrong* ppa
sudo ppa-purge ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp-edge
# Remove the OS gimp package if it was installed
sudo apt remove gimp

# Add the *right* ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp

# Update sources and install gimp
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gimp

How to combine Bézier curves to a surface?

圖片
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite My aim is to smooth the terrain in a video game. Therefore I contrived an algorithm that makes use of Bézier curves of different orders. But this algorithm is defined in a two dimensional space for now. To shift it into the third dimension I need to somehow combine the Bézier curves. Given two curves in each two dimensions, how can I combine them to build a surface? I thought about something like a curve of a curve. Or maybe I could multiply them somehow. How can I combine them to cause the wanted behavior? Is there a common approach? In the image you can see the input, on the left, and the output, on the right, of the algorithm that works in a two dimensional space. For the real application there is a three dimensional input. The algorithm relays only on the adjacent tiles. Given these it will define the control points of the mentioned Bézier cur...
