4newbies: printing out my routes using gtklp
As this thread did initialy be named:
mTpaint and land map processing and printing out
it also includes a short part about one way for the processing of bike or other routes with an external web application as it was the first goal of this thread!
But as I am using mTpaint more and more for divers non creative purposes (snapshots and processing of the resulting pictures for all possible goals especially make an archive copy of doc's etc., arrangement of existing pictures, elaboration of icons...), I will try to document ways step by step to do it easily because I know it is difficult to access to experience in mTpaint outside the general points detailled in the mTpaint manual in English. user with little knowledge on English have great difficulties to discover in the manual the necessary functions to realize the successive steps needed to realize the jobs because they often don't find the terms!
So I will proceed differently from the manual, don't enumerate the functions but the successive steps needed by processing simple complete job's!
I meet myself always a lot of little difficulties and probably don't know all the hints needed to solve my problems (see my actual discussion concerning such little points I would prefer to answer in this little presentation of typical jobs) and publish for this reason the new message under the neutral pseudo «puppytutorial» having password «linux» so that each one can change my text to amend or extend it if he knows more performent solutions! please only change also the last signature so that we can contact you if necessary if you change something!
all my examples are tested using the pet mTpaint 3.4.
As I did explain in the past, my activity did begin because [ old introduction of this thread: ] I have to make really much sport because of my high blood pressure and I have already 2 years therefore a good performance from about 12000 km biking per year. about 24000 km in two year. there are about 50000 km in total for me and my wife (she use the bike to go to the shops etc.). at 20 km/h, about 2500 hours in 2 year, also a very important and significant activity in our life
printing is now so easy after following help of wjaguar:
