## 1. Введение в меню

There are many places in GIMP where you can find menus. The aim of this chapter is to explain all the commands that are accessible from the image menu bar and the image menu you can get by right clicking in the canvas. All the context menus and the menu entries for the other dialogs are described elsewhere in the chapters that describe the dialogs themselves.

### 1.1. Контектные меню

If you right-click on certain parts of the GIMP interface, a «context menu» opens, which leads to a variety of functions. Some places where you can access context menus are:

- При нажатии на окно изображения появляется меню изображения. Это полезно при работе в полноэкранном режиме, без планки меню.

- При нажатии на слой в диалоге слоёв, или на канале в диалоге каналов появляется меню для выделенного слоя или канала.

- Нажатие правой кнопки мышки на планке меню изображения равносильно нажатию левой кнопки мышки.

- Right-clicking on the title bar displays functions which do not belong to GIMP, but to the window manager program on your computer.

### 1.2. Отрываемые меню

There is an interesting property associated with some of the menus in GIMP. These are any of the menus from the Image context menu you get by right-clicking on the canvas and any of its submenus. (You can tell that a menu item leads to a submenu because there is an icon next to it.) When you bring up any of these menus, there is a dotted line at the top of it (tear-off line). By clicking on this dotted line, you detach the menu under it and it becomes a separate window.

Рисунок 15.1. The «windows» submenu and its tear-off submenu

Tear-off menus are actually independent. They are always visible, their functions always apply to the current image, and they persist when all of the images are closed. You can close a tear-off submenu by clicking on the dotted line again or closing the window from the window manager on your computer (often by clicking on an X icon in the upper right corner of the window).

### 1.3. Меню вкладок

The following type of menus is not related to the image menu bar, but for the sake of completeness:

Every dockable dialog contains a Tab Menu button, as highlighted below. Pressing this Tab Menu button opens a special menu of tab-related operations, with an entry at the top that opens into the dialog's context menu.
