That's pretty much how you'd be doing this in GIMP as well. I would
however suggest to create this balloon as path and save it to disk.
You can then reload the path whenever you need a balloon, scale and
stretch it to the desired size and stroke it.
Thanks. However, can you perform boolean operations on paths? I see add,
subtract, and intersect functions for selections, but only a "merge"
option for visible paths, which just places all nodes on the same layer.
It's a little awkward, but I found I can create the triangular path and
add it to an elliptical selection, and then convert this to a path.
Unfortunately, the triangular path looses its polygonal qualities and
becomes slightly curved, making editing direction of the balloon's arrow
somewhat complicated. Is this the easiest way to accomplish this?
