Attachment: G-Border.png [ 1.51 MiB | Viewed 2763 times ] It's nothing to write home about. However, I'm still playing with arcs/degrees using specific path shapes to create Guilloche borders similar to paper money and bank certificates. Not really interested in photo borders. Just thought I would throw this up to share the methodology. Be prepared to do some math with each path because tossing up paths willy nilly won't cut it. |

I forgot to mention in the help text that the walking version of Path copy rotate shift can handle compound paths as the stroked copy path. So for example a path like the one below made up of three parts: Attachment: complex.jpg [ 6.73 KiB | Viewed 2737 times ] ... can be used. An example outcome (same copy path scaled for four passes on two walk paths). The walk path still has to be one continuous path however.

The borders you folk are creating reminds me of this cool open source tool. It's called Mutiara but not a programmer so don't know how to compile it for Windows; still some cool designs at the home website. http://mutiara.sourceforge.net/ |

Had forgotten that MareroQ compiled this; that was 2 OS re-installs ago. lololol Still, it's been updated since then, so maybe Mario can re-compile it once again for Windows. viewtopic.php?f=22&t=12211&hilit=Mutiara |

When we would just play and play and play with all the toys the world had to offer? We need a 48 hour/day planetary system to squeeze all this playing time in, huh? |

Hi Lylejk. I don't have good information. I compiled Mutiara-0.14.0-Win-64 bit (without error messages) but the program does not work well - when I try to save or change the color it crashes (turns off). There are various reasons - the wrong environment (file versions) or the necessary changes to the code for compilation in Windows. Unfortunately I can't do it right.

That's cool, Mario. More for others than myself as far as compiling the update. Not sure why open source folk don't compile for Windows; I guess us Windows users are the redheaded stepchild of the open source world. lolol Did appreciate your earlier effort and had some fun with it as I recall, Mario. edit: And I feel Mahvin's pain as well; had to work 14 hours today (4 hours overtime so someone else can enjoy their holiday; not hard work and it was at home with a lot of dead time, but still drains the brain; lol. Can't turn down 1.5X pay for those additional 4 hours).

Skinnyhouse posted an image that triggered a memory of old Swedish TV: https://youtu.be/LSErFnQLQ00?t=24 Allegedly those were part of a working machine. What it did? Well...
