Quote:Im having trouble figuring out the plugin process. Never done it before. I added the python source to the directory /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug.ins/ and restarted GIMP.
Using linux, the place for plugins is in your Gimp profile, in your home partition. It is the hidden folder ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins They do work where you have them but not good practice.
For that follow-path plug-in 2 files needed arakne-follow-path5.py and gimpfu3.py files, make sure both are executable.
The place to find it is - right click in the paths dialogue, it is at the bottom along with ofnuts plugins screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/IJXgq9A.jpg
Quote:But not sure how to implement a layer to the selected path as you have shown you done in your last screenshot? I think this method would work the best as the corners would be customized afterwords of laying the straight areas out.
Make a path active, run plugin, make sure the little pattern layer is referenced, adjust settings, try and hope you are not too far out.
For sure the corners will have to be draw separately, in fact I think the whole thing might be best made in sections on their own layers, on the horizontal and then moved, rotated, into position.
Try the plug-in, do not be disappointed if you do not get the desired result. It is a steep learning curve.
