How can I create 90° crossed lines on a curve's tangent? - Merlinw - 09-05-2022

Hello everyone, simply I'm able to make lines as shown in the first photo but I want them like second photo. Is there any way to do them by using gimp features? I just want to create an image like in the second photo. How can I make that? is there any source/video that I can use? thanks in advance.

I'm new to graphic design and trying to figure out to use GIMP. I downloaded script and move it to scripts folder in %appdata%. I checked the example link you sent but in the GIMP I couldn't figure out how to use it Sad. Could you please explain it?

There is a HTML doc in the ZIP file.

Like all these scripts it requires some familiarity with paths. See here and here.

Another option, with the native tools like Symmetry painting and just 2 clicks
