Any script for clock dials?

Hello everyone,

It makes a lot that I don't come to visit, but the truth is that when I need help with "Gimp", I can't think of a better place.

Well I would like someone to help me, me and anyone who may need it, I have been making a 3D model of a watch, and I have found myself in the need to create the calendar dial, with 31 days.

All good, until I have realized that I have been doing this madness for hours and hours.
And I thought, damn it, with a "Scrip" you could expedite this torture.
It would be faster more efficient, and it wouldn't hurt my head.

If anyone is interested in writing a "Script", and lend me a hand

, I am willing to help in any way I can.
(I enclose an image of what I have done!)

Thank you very much to all.

Have you tried the "Text to Circle" script? File>Create> Logos> Text Circle ? Or you can create a circular path and place the text on the path.

Here is the text circle scm file fixed. Attachment: text-circle.scm [7.54 KiB] Downloaded 260 times I had to move the 1, 2 and 31 around a bit but thats pretty easy to just cut and paste on a new layer in place then move them where you want and merge down.

Speaking of clocks, don't forget to set your clocks back if you live in a state that goes back to standard time. Looking forward to my extra hour of sleep (before I head back to work tomorrow; lol).

Two of my scripts: * ofn-path-to-shape to create a path with 31 rays, then converted to tick marks Segments>Polygons and stars>Spokes to generate 31 spokes Segments>Transform segments>Resize segments to only keep the end of the segments * ofn-text-along-path to set text along the 31 rays (Tools>Tex (multi) along path) Attachment: Dial.png [ 40.49 KiB \| Viewed 8217 times ] All of 4 minutes. Scripts are here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pa ... s/scripts/ You can use ofn-path-to-shape to generate dial ticks, but if you want nice looking ones you can try the dial-marks script (same place).

My take; make a vertical column of numbers, rotate left, then run Pan to Bow script-fu. Pretty simple.

edit:

As a sidenote, I should have center all the text to get a result similar to Offnuts.
