Opening BMP and JPG images in Solaris 10?
 

Under Windows just now I saved alot of BMP images under Microsoft paint. Then I burned those images on a CD-R and then booted again to Solaris and placed those images on my Home directory...

So...managed to locate those image BMP files on my home directory and the icons look like the lightning bolt icon. And when I double click it, It gives me an error message that it cannot open it. Plus I went to Image Viewer, and located there and does the same thing. I will not open my images that I saved. And there NOT read-Only, I double checked...

So then, I opened up StarOffice, and then I located the images there and then it opened up there. But my question is, these are all map images so how would I draw a red line across the map image using StarOffice?

Also, how can I just open these images without doing this the long way???

Please help. Its no biggy, because I can always boot into Windows again and make things happen there...

Thanks!

The gimp should be able to open bmp and jpg files:

/usr/sfw/bin/gimp

I'd rather use GIMP....But still....I WANT TO BE ABLE to draw a red line across the map...HOW CAN I USE GIMP TO do this??? Please explain...Thanks alot...'

You sure know alot!!!!!!

I just want to create a red line about medium thick in size to pinpoint my waypoints on the map image.

Thats all. I did this in paint. Please explain on how can I do this in GIMP? Its a great application BTW....

I am still lost but Im getting there hopefully...The was this circle in the pen or brush and I clicked on wither SHIFT or CTRL and the same time A LINE just briefly apprearred...

I dont understand.....Please exlain this more slowly please...Why are my lines are disappearing for a second??? I almost had it but I want the lines to be there..

Can you carefully rephrase that in plain english, I don't understand at all what you mean.
