Simple drawing tools? Posted May 8, 2012 10:50 UTC (Tue) by sorpigal (subscriber, #36106) [Link] How is "Drawing an arrow" a "basic feature"? In all the images I've manipulated in the gimp I can, off hand, only think of one where I wanted an arrow. Going to a plugin for something specific like that seems perfectly reasonable.

For a scientist adding an arrow is a basic feature, frequently used when one publishes an image.
Simple drawing tools? Posted May 8, 2012 16:55 UTC (Tue) by sfeam (subscriber, #2841) [Link] Yes, exactly. My major use for GIMP was to annotate images to prepare figures for illustrating scientific papers (arrows, labels, brackets, cropping, compositing). However, Inkscape is now a much better tool for this purpose.

Maybe some plug-ins should be prepackaged, to draw simple shapes, circles and arrows. Inkscape is great but is an overkill for a simple editing job.
