Hi All,
I want to use brush feature for different kinds of brush. I
have check in software Brush option is working same as I want, but i
didnt get any API pr enum values to set the brush type. I got
GimpLayerMode Effects but that is different from what i want.
Kindly let me know if there is any enum values to set brush
types like one in software(circle fuzzy)..
How will I get the developer manual for sample app using GIMP..

Kindly response

GIMP does not contain any general purpose libraries. If you want to
implement brush painting in your app, look at what MyPaint uses:

The brushlib wiki page has information on how to use it. Did you read
it in full, and the brushlib headers / source code?

GIMP does not use brushlib. GIMP has its own native brush code. You
can't adapt GIMP's brush code for your application as simply as using
brushlib. In fact, adapting any code from GIMP will be complicated.

If you want support for brushlib, contact its maintainers on the
MyPaint mailing list.

ps. If you reply, reply to all which will CC the gimp-developers list.

Kind regards,

Mukund
