So now my code is 10% faster because i use get_pixel to get the pixelized color.

You can add a layer mask and fill it with the V-shape pattern.

Not sure what you mean because the V-shapes are all touching each other to fill the image.

get_pixel() is a major performance problem.

Other way: Create the selection shape only once, then shift the selection mask:


channel = pdb.gimp_selection_save(image) # done once
for whatever_loop:
    pdb.gimp_selection_none(image)
    pdb.gimp_drawable_offset(channel, True, OFFSET_WRAP_AROUND, 100,200)
    pdb.gimp_image_select_item(image,CHANNEL_OP_REPLACE,channel)
    # do whatever with new selection
