Thank you Lyle for this tutorial.
This will come in handy for my archviz 3d project. Will replace some of the "oil paintings"
I've made with realistic looking mosaics. :bigthup

Thanks MareroQ!
Followed your instructions and obtained the voronoi svg version of one of my pictures.
But, just for lazy chatters like me, I like to recall that -until Garry and David will find time to implement a G'MIC mosaic- there is still a very good script from Graechan:
cobblestone-mosaic
the outcomes -even if not totally competitive with Lyle's experiments with Voronoi, Opus musivum et alii- are IMO very pleasant.
Here an example:

That's cool MareroQ.

Yes, Graechan's Cobblestone Mosaic script is a must have Dinasset.

A small change in VoronoiShwith.py

MareroQ · **Posted:** Sat Dec 15, 2018 2:02 pm **(#10)**

Small update for Gimp 2.10 and some changes in the plugin interface.

Note: for correct operation, edit (preferably in notepad ++) lines 33,37,44,46,62,96 in the Artistic VoronoiSwitch.py file and line 5 in the vorbw.bat and vorc.bat files to determine the correct path to the directory Voronoi.

New plugin solution [no *. bat] is only available here:

(required during the gimpscripts.net promotional period) :mrgreen:

Cool effect!

I'm guessing the patch and fix was applied to 2.10.20 and then the same problem arose in 2.10.22? This is like the 5th or 6th time?

MareroQ · **Posted:** Tue Oct 13, 2020 2:29 am **(#14)**

This bug was only fixed in Gimp-2.10.22 :hehe

Thanks MareroQ, this is great. :bigthup

I'm using the voronoi stippler from terminal on Linux, or The Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories StippleGen2.

Hi Nidhogg.
Unfortunately, I was unable to compile Voronoi Stipple again (requires a different - older version of boost?).
Good thing the old version still works for Win10.
Can you give an exact recipe for Linux?

Nidhogg · **Posted:** Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:13 pm **(#17)**

Hi MareroQ.
This is what I did to get voronoi stippler to work on Linux.
Note, it was on 18.04 LTS have not tried on 20.04 yet.

sudo apt-get install libboost-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install libomp-dev
make

Copied voronoi_stippler to /usr/bin

Then I keep a voronoi folder in home with configured batch files, for example:

#!/bin/sh
voronoi_stippler -n -p 2 -s 8000 -c -t .2 -z 1.0 pics/input.png pics/output.svg

Thank You Nidhogg. :hi5

I've updated (compiled) Gimp to version 2.10.22.
I completed the voronoi stippler.py code to the location (user / bin / voronoi_stippler) - and it works in Ubuntu 20.04.
This can be a bit of a hassle - but the console window isn't visible.

On first use, the plugin produced an error because it couldn't find the voronoi.svg file. Future users need to know that all that they have to do if this happens is run the plugin a second time.

Nidhogg · **Posted:** Wed Oct 14, 2020 10:32 am **(#20)**

Had to build and compile again for MX Linux. Stipples are awesome! Lyle should enjoy this plug-in.
