Figure 16-4 . Right-click on Selection Path in Paths Palette, and Export Path
In the other floating palette, click on the Paths Tab , shown on the right side of Fig-
ure 16-4 . GIMP has two, primary floating tool windows; one is the GIMP Toolbox ,
containing Tools , Options , Brushes , Patterns , and Gradients , and the other contains
four tabs , which represent your digital image's compositing Layers , Channels , Selec-
tion Paths , and even an Undo Buffer , which gives you a “history” of every “move”
you have made in GIMP since you launched it.
Select the Path named Selection (the Path layer named Selection will then turn
blue). Next right-click on the Path named Selection, and at the bottom of that menu of
things that you can do to the Selection Path, you will see an Export Path menu option.
This is another one of the key GIMP algorithms that enables this collision polygon cre-
ation and output work process for us.
Selecting this Export Path option will export the current InvinciBagel character
Selection Path data for us, as a text-based (XML) file containing SVG data, which is
what we need to use in our Bagel() constructor method call. This data will be contained
