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.

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.
