because that's what they are and what most menu labels in there says.
Keep the "Clouds" menu around for 3rd party plug-ins, not sure if it's
right to auto-map it to "Noise" automatically.
Foreground and background are GIMP concepts; the annotations on GEGL ops
should be about how the operation makes use of the meta-data; not where
it comes from in one particular application using GEGL.
old names:
"role", "foreground-color",
"role", "background-color",
new names:
"role", "color-primary",
"role", "color-secondary",
instead of passing N_()-strings; and remove gettext() calls on these
strings when using them. Reduces complexitx, and fixes double- and
untranslated strings. Also enables to treat properties of GIMP and
GEGL objects the same way, which was totally broken before.
Arithmetic coding is a feature of the JPEG standard. Although libjpeg
had always implemented arithmetic coding, it was compiled out by default
due to patents.
Those patents have now expired.
libjpeg 8 now enables arithmetic coding by default. Distributions which
use libjpeg < 8 can also support arithmetic coding by using the
appropriate CFLAGS to enable it. libjpeg-turbo 1.3.1 also has support
for arithmetic coding and is in popular shipping distributions.
Software such as jpegtran can losslessly convert Huffman compressed
images to arithmetic coding and vice versa. The lossy behavior of JPEG
does not happen at this (bit coding) layer of the format.
This initial patch provides a checkbox (disabled by default) to create
files which use arithmetic coding. It also has a tooltip warning that
such files may not be compatible with older decoders.
gimp_gegl_mask_bounds(): when we succeed avoiding iterating a tile by
checking its upper-left and bottom-right, use the function's internal
meaning of x2, y2, which is the rightmost/bottommost selected pixel,
while the external meaning is the pixel right/below it.
Short: use "foo - 1" not "foo".
It makes little sense to keep them in one header and parse them with a
pile of perl, just to generate them in another header. Simply keep
them in a place everybody depends on.
