RE: Replicating a path - teapot - 04-29-2022 Krikor, Out of interest I tried your file and settings and got a spike that's different to yours. [attachment=7837] Having noticed the other change to the plugin between v0.7 and v0.8 is from SHORT_ARC = 10 # pixels to SHORT_ARC = 5 # pixels I changed that back and the spike went. However that may just be a one off for your example, I have no idea what the wider implications of such a change are. Anyway that's a difficult case ![]() [attachment=7838] (04-28-2022, 04:46 PM)Krikor Wrote: Just changing the Line style (from Milter to Round) definitely fixed the problem. How did you do that, the only place I know for line style is when stroking a path with Stroke line. Is that what you mean? Overall the plugin is working really well, thank you again Ottia Tuota.

The meaning of SHORT_ARC is that arcs below it are done with some simple solution instead of the rickety approximation algorithm with its subdivisions to ever shorter arcs. I think that how the plugin manages those difficult cases is just a question of luck. The program should be made better, but now it remains as it is.

I would say this is something unexpected, but the strange thing is that I can no longer reproduce my result displayed in post #48.

So I couldn't tell you what the SHORT_ARC changes from 10 to 5 in the new code might produce.

When I made the reported change the spike was gone. But now, trying to reproduce the previous problem, I redid the previous settings and tried even with others, but I still get the result without any problems. On the bright side, the problem disappeared like magic.

Thank you for the explanation ![]() RE: Replicating a path - rich2005 - 08-05-2022 Revisiting this, nothing as complicated as the previous showings but sometimes comes up in Gimp 'how-to's A bit of preparation required for the target path, this was hand painted then center-line traced. Might have been easier just to draw the path straight in. The pattern the half-moon and the base path to create an offset. This moved for the three offsets. Each path filled with different colour. [attachment=8444] ...and yes, a bit of hand-painting at the end(s) to tidy up ![]() edit: with a bevel and a drop shadow. [attachment=8445] RE: Replicating a path - teapot - 08-07-2022 Nice result Rich. RE: Replicating a path - Zero01 - 04-30-2023 Does anyone have a copy of this plugin (Replicate path along circle)? Ottia Tuota's website is unavailable, Wayback machine not much use.. Thanks in advance.
