Draw Line With Arrow in Gimp

Draw arrows with GIMP plugins

Sample arrows that you can create with GIMP plugins

If you want to create professionally-looking arrows with GIMP because you are tired of creating arrows that look like you drawn them drunk, then don't despair. I will show you three GIMP plugins for creating great-looking arrows:

ArrowsCreator-0.4 is a Python plugin that supports 7 styles of arrows
arrow.scm by B-Ranger is a script-fu plugin to "draw an arbitrary arrow into an image or a new layer"
arrow.scm by programmer_ceds is a modified version of the previous script that allows you to draw curved arrows

ArrowsCreator-04

Here are the steps to install the Python plugin ArrowsCreator-04:

Download the zip file ArrowsCreator-0.4.py.zip, and extract the two files ArrowsCreator-0.4.py and ArrowsModule.py
Copy the two Python files into the plugins folder which on macOS is located at

/Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins

For other platforms, check out this guide on how to install GIMP plugins, or you can also find out the location of the plugins folder by clicking onGIMP > Preferences, and then on the left panel, search forFolders > Plug-Ins.
Start GIMP, and you should have an ArrowsCreator configuration window pop-up that allows you to re-name the newly installed extension that will now show up in the menu at Extensions > Plugins-Python > Tools.

Here are the steps to draw an arrow withArrowsCreator-04:

Load an image, and choose the Paths Tool from the Toolbox window

Test image

Choose a foreground color. This will be the color of the arrow.
Select the ArrowsCreator plugin from the menu atExtensions > Plugins-Python > Tools. A new window will open that will allow you to configure the arrow parameters such as the arrowing size, angle, and brush size.
On the image, click anywhere where you want the arrow tail to be and then click again anywhere where you want the arrow head to be. Automatically, the arrow will be drawn on the image.
If you modify the anchor points from step 4, click on Redraw the above arrow.

arrow.scm: draw straight arrows by B-Ranger

Here are the steps to install the plugin arrow.scm:

Download the file arrow.scm
Copy the file into the scripts folder which on macOS is located at

/Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/share/gimp/2.0/scripts

For other platforms, check out this guide on how to install GIMP plugins, or you can also find out the location of the scripts folder by clicking onGIMP > Preferences, and then on the left panel, search for Folders > Scripts.
Start GIMP, and the newly installed plugin should be accessed through Tools > Arrow...

Here are the steps to draw an arrow with the plugin arrow.scm:

Load an image, and choose the Paths Tool from the Toolbox window

Test image

Choose a foreground color. This will be the color of the arrow.
Select the arrow.scm plugin from the menu atTools > Arrow... A new window will open that will allow you to configure the arrow parameters such as the length of wings, angle between arrow and wing, and brush thickness.
On the image, click anywhere where you want the arrow head to be and then click again anywhere where you want the arrow tail to be. When you are ready to draw the arrow, click on OK.
NOTE: if you want to use the first anchor as the arrow tail like ArrowsCreator does, then uncheck the box beside "Use first path point as arrow head?" in the Script-fu: Arrow window.

arrow.scm: draw curved or straight arrows by programmer_ceds

This is a modified version of the previous script that allows you to draw curved arrows. Download this modified script from here.

To install it, follow the same steps for installing the previous script.

Also, follow the same steps for drawing arrows as the previous script, but now after placing the anchors for the head and tail of the arrow (see step 4), you can now bend the path by Clicking+Dragging the path:

Deactivate conda's base environment on startup

When opening a terminal session, conda activates the base environment by default. If you want to prevent this default behaviour, you have three ways: Trick #1 : Set the auto_activate_base parameter to false Trick #2 : Add conda deactivate in your bash configuration file Trick #3 : Comment out some part of the conda initialisation code block in your bash configuration file NOTES: I'm working with conda version 4.7.5 and miniconda3 (it should also work with anaconda ). These tricks also worked with conda version 4.6.14 After installing conda 4.7, conda added this block of code in my ~/.bash_profile : This is the block of code that we will modify in the following tricks Trick #1: set auto_activate_base to false Per conda's instructions, "if you'd prefer that conda's base environment not be activated on startup, set the auto_activate_base parameter to false". Thus, enter the following command in a terminal: conda config --set

Make a split screen movie with iMovie and OpenShot (Mac)

There are two tools I tested to make a split screen movie on a Mac: iMovie: video editor from Apple, official website . I tested with version 10.1.8 OpenShot: free and open source video editing software that works on FreeBSD/Linux/macOS/Windows, official website . I tested with version 2.4.1 Contents 1. Split screen layout selected 2. iMovie 2.1 Steps to make a split screen movie with iMovie 3. OpenShot 3.1 Steps to make a split screen movie with OpenShot Split screen layout selected More specifically, I wanted to create a split screen movie with the following layout having a 16:9 aspect ratio: Figure 1. Split screen layout: Movie 3 should take the right half of the screen My basic motion detection system generates 3 videos, and I wanted to combine them in a single movie for better visualization. Movie 3 should take the right half of the screen because it is the most important video of the three: it tracks the moving objects
