# Set the temporary storage directory...files will appear here

# not be one that is shared by other users or is cleared on machine
# reboot such as /tmp.

# Set the swap file location. The gimp uses a tile based memory
# allocation scheme. The swap file is used to quickly and easily
# swap files out to disk and back in. Be aware that the swap file
# can easily get very large if the gimp is used with large images.
# Also, things can get horribly slow if the swap file is created on 
# a directory that is mounted over NFS.  For these reasons, it may 
# be desirable to put your swap file in "/tmp".

# The tile cache is used to make sure the gimp doesn't thrash
# tiles between memory and disk. Setting this value higher will
# cause the gimp to use less swap space, but will also cause
# the gimp to use more memory. Conversely, a smaller cache size
# causes the gimp to use more swap space and less memory.
# Note: the gimp will still run even if `tile-cache-size' is
# set to 0. The actual size can contain a suffix of 'm', 'M',
# 'k', 'K', 'b' or 'B', which makes the gimp interpret the
# size as being specified in megabytes, kilobytes and bytes
# respectively. If no suffix is specified the size defaults to
# being specified in kilobytes.

# Speed of marching ants in the selection outline

# Set the color-cube resource for dithering on 8-bit displays
#  The 4 values stand for Shades of red, green, blue and grays
#  Multiplying the # of shades of each primary color yields
#  the total number of colors that will be allocated from the
#  gimp colormap.  This number should not exceed 256.  Most of the
#  colors remaining after the allocation of the colorcube
#  will be left to the system palette in an effort to reduce
#  colormap "flashing".

# Install a GIMP colormap by default -- only for 8-bit displays
# (install-colormap)

# Specify that marching ants for selected regions will be drawn
#  with colormap cycling as oposed to redrawing with different stipple masks
#  this color cycling option works only with 8-bit displays
# (colormap-cycling)

# Tools such as fuzzy-select and bucket fill find regions based on a
#  seed-fill algorithm.  The seed fill starts at the intially selected
#  pixel and progresses in all directions until the difference of pixel
#  intensity from the original is greater than a specified threshold
#  ==> This value represents the default threshold
(default-threshold 15)

# There is always a tradeoff between memory usage and speed.  In most
#  cases, the GIMP opts for speed over memory.  However, if memory is
#  a big issue, set stingy-memory-use

# When zooming into and out of images, this option enables the

# Controlling ruler visibility
#  The default behavior is for rulers to be ON

#  The units of rulers can be one of: (pixels inches centimeters)

# Setting the level of interpolation
#  Uncommenting this line will enable cubic interpolation.
#  By default, GIMP uses linear interpolation, which is faster, but has poorer quality
# (cubic-interpolation)

# Set the gamma correction values for the display
#  1.0 corresponds to no gamma correction.  For most displays,
#  gamma correction should be set to between 2.0 and 2.6
#  Run the utility "gamma_correct" to determine appropriate values
#  for your display.
#
# One important item to keep in mind:  Many images that you might
#  get from outside sources will in all likelihood already be
#  gamma-corrected.  In these cases, the image will look washed-out
#  if the gimp has gamma-correction turned on.  If you are going
#  to work with images of this sort, turn gamma correction off
#  by removing this line, or setting the values to 1.0.
