                      COMPONENTS OF GIMP WINDOW

                  The GIMP interface consists of:
                      ✶ Menu bar: It contains different menus such as File, Edit, Select, Image, etc. for doing various
                     tasks.

                      ✶ Workspace: The Workspace is the main area where you create, edit, and manipulate images.
                     It includes several key components and panels that make editing efficient and accessible.
                      ✶ Toolbox: It contains various tools that are used to create, edit and enhance an image.
                      ✶ Foreground/Background  colors: The color  areas show GIMP's current  foreground  and
                     background colours. Clicking on either one of them will open a color selector dialog box that
                     allows changing to a different color. Clicking on the double-headed arrow exchanges the

                     two colors, and clicking on the small symbol in the lower left corner resets them to black
                     and white.
                      ✶ Tool options: This shows options for the currently selected tool.
                      ✶ Image window: Each image in GIMP is displayed in a separate window. Many images can be

                     opened at the same time
                      ✶ Ruler: Rulers are shown above and to the left of the image, indicating coordinates within the
                     image.
                      ✶ Layers palette: It is used to set order of visibility of the objects.
                      ✶ Brushes/Patterns/Fonts tab: This contains tabs that show the options for managing brushes,

                     patterns and fonts. Brushes tab is used for all tools that allow you to paint on the image, like
                     erasing and smudging. Patterns tab is is used in filling selected areas of an image. Fonts tab
                     is used for Text tool whenever there is a requirement of change in font.
