stillbreakinghearts Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 How do I make a square or circle an absolute size? like if I wanted a circle with a Ø of .375" or a rectangle 1.125" x 3.125"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Create a new image of the size you want, draw your shape to fill it and copy the image back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 There is no specific application that will accomplish exactly what you want. This is in part because of the Status Bar at the bottom left-hand of the screen; drawing lines, shapes and gradients in Paint.NET is live, all the information about the drawing is displayed on this Status Bar. Therefore, with this in mind, you can draw your shape as you normally would whilst keeping an eye on the status of the drawing at the bottom. http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/StatusBar.html Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 are you sure that will work Myridin? remember he is using a 3 decimal point measurment. status bar only uses 2 decimals. ciao Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 stillbreakinghearts will have to round either up or down. I was more concerned with allowing stillbreakinghearts the ability to draw 'free-hand' as much as possible. If the three decimal point accuracy is crucial, stillbreakinghearts should follow the same lines with what Simon said: fill the canvas with the shape, then resize down to what's needed - only, trying to fill the canvas and leaving as-is may be a pixel or two out, translating to an 1/8" out, or whatever. You have more precise control when resizing. Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
