Post all Gimp scripts and script writing questions here

Hi, is been a few month since I share my plugins, well this one leave here for you. It creates a plastic like text with neon center. You have the option to create the text with a glow and you have another option to change the neon color inside the text and the glow. Please leave comments
Ps The font used in this plugin is, "Confortaa" and it's a free font found here:
https://www.dafont.com/comfortaa.font or use a thin rounded font for better results.
*** Fixed the size issues = Now you can make the text longer

Text was escaping the canvas because I didn't d/load the Confortaa font
so I modded the script. I made it 2400x1200px and left the layers un-merged.
Remaining layers can be merged-down with 'merge all layers'. I prefer to see the effect of each layer.
Script needs 'all layers to image size' and 'remove alpha channel' but not so important.

Pocholo - thanks for the plug-in; however I seem to be having a problem similar to Tas_mania. I tried several times with different words but all were truncated in the output.
For example, the text I entered into the parameter form was 'lurid text'; it is truncated as per image below. Is there a limit on the number of characters that can be entered?

Thank you Pocholo and MareroQ.
My preference goes to the second which allows to modify the layers.

Hi guys, I liked the option provided by Tas_mania, where I can play with the layers.
But with the version of Tas_mania you cannot work with longer texts, as described by oldmangrumpy.
Version 2 of Pocholo allows for bigger texts but it does block the possibilities that the plug-in can offer,
Would it be possible to unify the plug-in by allowing long texts and editing the layers?
Thank you very much in advance.

Can an old schemer give you python boys a hint, I heard that crack of thunder
width, height, ascent, descent = pdb.gimp_text_get_extents_fontname(text, size, size_type, fontname)
This will enable you to set your image size to fit the text, also a better way of creating a text layer is↓
text_layer = pdb.gimp_text_fontname(image, drawable, x, y, text, border, antialias, size, size_type, fontname)
as it allows for a border of extra pixels around the text.
then you can simply use width = pdb.gimp_drawable_width(text_layer) e.t.c.
Please forgive this old schemer for dabbling with snake talk.

Hi Graechan! Thanks for the pointers, you expertise it's always welcome. I managed to fix the script and I re-posted it on the first post (pm_lurid_text_logo_(2).zip)

You got it, Pocholo the Lurid Text plug-in works great in long texts!

I haven't done or seen the tutorial, so my result from file is unusual
also it's best to create an image at the beginning rather than hope the user has

Thanks for fixing the text length issue

Graechan, I'm glad you being in the forum again. We need your talent, too.
I like your text with waves, how? is it the font you used?
Nice texts, Level, Krikor and OMG.

Hi Graechan,
I just turned it into comments the plugin lines that unified the layers into one.

Hi Issabella,
With the available layers the options are extended.

I like your version Graechan. Your letters look like vehicle tires
It looks like you used Brush spacing or "dynamics brush spacing"?

Just another variation using just the plug-in

Krikor, nice look in your text. So, I think you have got the possibility to get the different layers in the process. That is a good idea.
Mine is merged at the end.

Nice outcome, Mahvin. I like the rocky look.
