Bend Text-Logo as helper Ofn-bend-path

[racer-x]

Very creative use of paths MareroQ. One can always edit the created paths to tweak it the way they want.

Thank you MareroQ. Have just installed Rel 0.4.
I like being able to add bits and pieces to the design.
Lots of fun.

[MareroQ]

@P1937
I like your result.
Have you used LayerFX?

@racer-x

... One can always edit the created paths to tweak it the way they want.

Touchdown! - I will no longer add new styles - because probably 256 is enough for "quick" fun (unless someone asks for some other that if I can add).

Ver.0.5 experimental.

I'm still testing the interactive call (* .py -> * .py).
As another attempt I used the LayerFX.py call.
I know that you can use Fx as a postprocess and that for Gimp 2.10.14 it doesn't work without a patch (there are other threads in this case).
If you have a working LayerFX.py plugin, please let me know if the interactive call:
Stroke: "FX Inner Glow", "FX Outer Glow" also works for you as expected?

[racer-x]

Tested v05. The FXinner glow reports error, but the FXouter glow works and looks great.

Rel 0.4.

Thank you for including a minimal version !

[MareroQ]

@Konstantin.
I know you would do it yourself - but it probably would require a bit more lost time (if you know exactly where - then copy / paste took less than a minute in this case).
I am also curious which version will be chosen more often by users...


@Racer-X
Thank you for the test.
I made a mistake in FX Inner Glow - can you try again?

[racer-x]

Yes, FX Inner Glow works perfectly now. Thanks!

[MareroQ]

@Racer-X

Thank you for repeating the test.
Now I have 3 cases to figure out:
- Ofn-bend-path.py cannot be invoked interactively,
- Custom_Font_Metallic_Effects_003.py can be invoked interactively but with a cut gui,
- LayerFX.py can be invoked correctly interactively.
(...but I'm starting to doubt if I can decipher it myself...)

@Konstantin

Regarding:
- Repeat (Ctr + F)
- Re-Show (Shift + Ctr + F)
as I thought - running with an existing image allows you to activate these functions.

After adding PF_IMAGE, PF_DRAWABLE, image type (any - because it will still create a new one) you can move the location in the menu - and so I did (now: Filters/Path/Bend path by style ...)
This version is attached.

Information for anyone interested - it is easy to change it as you like by editing:
menu location - line 224
plugin name in the menu - line 172.

Great job !!

Is it possible to make another small edit to the minimal plug-in version, please ?
I like that it generates a textlayer, but it would be even better if that texlayer is turned off by default, so its not in the way.

[MareroQ]

If the text layers are to be invisible in line 25 add:

Code:

   pdb.gimp_item_set_visible(text_layer, 0)

If you want to automatically delete it on the line 158 add:

Code:

   pdb.gimp_image_remove_layer(image, text_layer)

or I can add an option:
Text layer: No Changes / Invisible / Delete

Decide yourself

Tried downloading and installing the mini version and I get nothing when I run gimp:




It also shows up in the procedure browser

I see that you have filters from Alpha to logo.
I deleted them a while ago because I finally noticed that they were the cause of my problems with the Bevel Reflect logo

The Alpha to Logo isn't the problem.. it's the mini version of the Text-Logo Bend plugin. The others are fine. I'm just wondering why this one doesn't show up like its supposed to.

I installed the plug in but it still doesn't show up in gimp:


Another thing that happens is, the plugin kicks out my other plugins that I had which means I have to go into preferences and set the paths so GIMP will recognize them. It's just weird.

[MareroQ]

Because the mini version does not create a typical Logo but only the path - I changed the location (as I wrote)
Filters-> Path-> Bend path by style ...

Okay, so where is the plug in?

I have it.

Ref Post 43
No I had not used Layer FX at that stage.
Have now installed version 5.
Layer FX working well.
I have one request if it is possible - adding a shadow. It is quite easy to do manually, however would be nice in the process if possible.
