drawing shapes in gimp?

[Rajinder Yadav]

Would this plug-in help? 

http://registry.gimp.org/node/59

You will have to figure out how to install a plug-in, I think the instruction are on the page...I'm still trying to learn the basic of GIMP, got past image resizing though =P

Kind Regards,
Rajinder Yadav
