GFXMuse Tools v3.0
Welcome to the Graphics Muse Tools, otherwise known as GFXMuse Tools. These tools are designed and/or written by Michael J. Hammel. This software is licensed under a (lightly) modified BSD style license. See the web site for details: http://www.ximba.org/gfxmuse/download.html
This version of the GFXMuse Tools have been checked to work against GTK+ 2.6 and with GIMP 2.2.
Building the plug-ins
Just do the following:
0. Edit config.h - only a couple of items there you might need to change.
1. xmkmf
2. make Makefiles
3. make
4. make install
The last step should install everything to your ~/.gimp-1.2 directory in the proper locations unless you modified the INSTALLDIR variable in config.h (which is not recommended).
Tools
GFXArrows generates arrow shapes
GFXCards greeting and business card layout
GFXLayers improved layer management for the GIMP
GFXMerge merge layers from one image to another or split layers
from one image into a new image.

and so forth.

Bug Disclaimer
There are undoubtedly bugs in the code - there always are. Please submit bugs to the bug database on the XEUS website: http://www.ximba.org/bugs/
Please submit as much detail as you can to describe how you came across the problem. If you are a developer and can suggest a fix, that would also be appreciated.
Thats it. There are HTML-based user guides available for all the plug-ins. Just choose the "Users Guide" option in the Help menu.
Enjoy!
