Found this cool Python Script; in fact, it motivated me enough to install Python in GIMP (and it was an adventure that I do not want to repeat; for starters, I first installed the latest Python and 64-bit; was I on the wrong track; lol). Anyway, I created the pearl like loop (see the link to the script; posted that image there) but then went wack with it. Below's where I decided to stop. lol

Went ahead and made this bauble for O too.

One of these days I'm going to remember to give the plug-in permission to execute before I go looking for it in the menu.

Now, Lyle, the dialog box doesn't give me many clues. When I run it on some text I get a black layer, period. How do I go about making "something" with the script?

How do you define a border? http://gimp-wrapmap.sourceforge.net/



Oh, Lyle, that is gorgeous. Thank you.

LOOK!!! You can make a rainbow with a gradient that follows the contour.

It would be cool if you could map the filter to a path. Then a single curved line path would work for that rainbow. I had to stretch out the edges of the image and draw a triangle with the paths tool "outside the box" to get just the rainbow part in the selection over the image.



This is just way too much fun.

Excellent. This Script is going to be quite useful I believe. Glad that I did break down to install Python (opening up Ubuntu VM takes too long; lol).

I put in a comment at the Registry requesting making it mappable to a path. (Is mappable a word?) If not, I guess I have to make up my own.

Sweeeeet! I just downloaded the script myself and look forward to trying it out!!

Here's my first attempt.

I used the ellipse tool for the selection on this one.

The waterfall and rainbow look sweet together! Excellent work!!
