graphics programd like xpaint and gimp.

[Gary Kline]

	I finally realized why I couldn't change the solid-color bg
	with xpaint.  The bucket [icon] is missing; the documentation 
	doesn't reflect this...  But *anyway*, to other things-graphic.

	With gimp, is it possible to create polygons?  How about a 
	5-pointed star?   Or 6- or 7-pointed star?   I have found some 
	images of what I'm looking for thru Google/images, but the
	bavkgrounf is not solid for some images, &c.  Also, it is
	possible to join two or three (already-drawn, on-disk) images
	with gimp?  I'm thinking of a circle surrounding a hexagon
	surrounding a square, e.g. 

	--Part of this is just-for-fun curiosity before 
	I get back to my studies; part of it is to try to create designs
	for my jottings pages.

	thanks for any insights,

	gary
