There are many places in GIMP where you can find menus. The aim of this chapter is to explain all the commands that are accessible from the image menu bar and the image menu you can get by right clicking in the canvas. All the context menus and the menu entries for the other dialogs are described elsewhere in the chapters that describe the dialogs themselves.
Si se pulsa sobre ciertas partes del interfaz del GIMP, se abre un “menú contextual”, que conduce a una gran variedad de funciones. Estos son algunos de los lugares desde donde puede acceder a menús contextuales:
Al pulsar sobre la ventana de la imagen se muestra el menú de la imagen. Es útil cuando se trabaja en modo de pantalla completa, sin barra de menú.
Al pulsar sobre una capa en el diálogo de capas o sobre un canal en el diálogo de canales se muestran funciones para la capa o el canal seleccionado.
Al pulsar con el botón derecho en la barra de menú de la imagen se tiene el mismo efecto que al pulsar con el izquierdo.
Al pulsar con el botón derecho sobre la barra de título se muestran funciones que no pertenecen al GIMP, sino al programa de gestión de ventanas del ordenador.
There is an interesting property associated with some of the menus in
GIMP.
These are any of the menus from the Image context menu you get by
right-clicking on the canvas and any of its submenus. (You can tell
that a menu item leads to a submenu because there is an
icon next to it.) When you bring up any of these menus, there is a
dotted line at the top of it (tear-off line). By clicking on this
dotted line, you detach the menu under it and it becomes a separate
window.
Tear-off menus are actually independent. They are always visible, their functions always apply to the current image, and they persist when all of the images are closed. You can close a tear-off submenu by clicking on the dotted line again or closing the window from the window manager on your computer (often by clicking on an X icon in the upper right corner of the window).
