Project image onto curve

[Ofnuts]

The trouble with displace is that it blurs things horribly. A completely different method:

• Create two paths, that are single vertical lines (the two lines on the sides)
  
• Use my path-inbetweener script to generate the lines in between (the "Swing" strech is exactly a sine function ,so is exactly the projection of the side of  a circle on a line).
  
• Merge the paths (you just need to do "merge visible paths" in the paths list)
  
• Perhaps add the horizontal segments manually
  
• Edit>Stroke path
