Okay, here's where more newbie-ness will be apparent with GIMP.
But, also may provide a clue to what I'm doing wrong, have set wrong, etc...
The script suggested by denzjos works! :-)
When I try the Symmetry painting tool (mandala), my initial click (before holding the shift key);
immediately three symmetric dots are created.
If I increase the number of points in the mandala parameters to say 6, then 6 symmetric dots are created.
If I subsequently hold the shift key down and click for the second time.
In this 6 point example, a nice snowflake looking graphic is created.
So, somewhere I have a setting doing this??
Maybe, this would also explain why gfig was essentially doing the same thing??
My workaround right now is to set the mandala number or points parameter to ONE.
Then selecting the paint tools STAR pattern.
Of course, I have gone that route because, it's working for what I want.
However, I like to know what I'm doing wrong and correct... ;-0
