GEGL Effects is a text styling, outlining and layer effects engine for GIMP. - The latest version is specialized for GIMP 3 RC1 to prevent clipping of text while editing non-destructive text. Though it also works on both GIMP 2.10

This filter combines multiple operations of mine in one. To do things like stroke, shadow/glow and an optional bevel with GEGL.

On Windows and Mac you have to compile. On Linux just put the .so files in /gegl-0.4/plugins then open Gimp and go to GEGL Operations and select GEGL Effects. BTW this will overwrite my existing custom GEGL filters (if you have them) but that is okay.

Really looks nice! Is there anyone who can compile for Windows?

The easiest way to compile this project on Windows is by using msys2. Download and install it from here: https://www.msys2.org/

Open a msys2 terminal with C:\msys64\mingw64.exe. Run the following to install required build dependencies:

pacman --noconfirm -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-meson mingw-w64-x86_64-gegl

meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build

In the directory ... \ lib \ gegl-0.4 \ (contains 37 * .dll files)

There might be a problem for any Windows user who installs just the gegleffects.dll Parts of the filter do not work.

The linux package contains gegleffects.so and comes with dependencies, bevel.so mbd.so mcol.so stroke.so for adding the bevel / stoke ... effects
Looks like the Win bevel dll is there in a different download, don't know about the others.
Linux screenshot same settings.

How do we find these filters in order to use them?

As Rich explained, this one filter does not work well on Windows :gaah
I think the problem is solved.
Thanks to Rich for his analysis.

Yeah, I tested and the bump or the glows are not working. The only thing I get is a depth from the Drop shadow.

Rich put me on the right track.
You had to compile 5 files.
Now all attached.

Each dependency has to be compiled in its own folder on Windows and Mac

If someone wants to contribute a Windows and Mac build guide I will put it on my GitHub and credit you.

Do you have a Github so I can credit you? I am uploading this to my github profile

What does the pack filter do within the GEGL Layer effects? I've tried to use the pack filter and adjust the gap & align options, but it keeps spinning. I will then have to force stop gimp and restart gimp again. The pack filter is very slow.

Hi Mackenzieh,
Have you downloaded the last package and replaced all older files?
Author:  MareroQ [ Sat May 14, 2022 2:36 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: GEGL Layer Effects and Text Styling filter
Hi Contrast
The compilation instructions for Windows are very good, but I think that the end user should not do it, but be able to download it easily.
I don't have Github.

If it was the Windows GEGL Effects pack, I did download and replace the files but the pack filter is still slow. What does that particular filter even do?
