@MareroQ: Thanks, i appreciate your generosity !

Unfortunately this version you made for me does not bend.

I thought you wanted ofn-bend-path.py to call separately.
New version - with non-interactive call.

No, i wanted an improved ofn-bend-path to make warped text without having to go through the hassle to make the same basic envelopes over and over again.
You really solved that beautifully with your plug-in.

Now its working as expected. Thanks again !

shy tests with version 3 and not great, but I tried.


For the one with effect of custom metallic fonts, you need special fonts or another script?

I think I'll stay with the 3 or the one set for Konstantin and v03.

I tried the mini version and for me, the version does not bend:


What am I missing?

With Version 3, it doesn't work with out ofn's bend to path plugin, which I have. It shouldn't give me an error when executing the result. Is there a version four? Both the minimal version and version 3 should be improved. For me neither one gives me a result.

Of the python console (Filters>Python-fu>console) and copy/paste the following line and strike [Enter].


Then paste the output of that here.

Enter "exit()" to close the console.

Looks like mackenzieh doesn't have python installed....

I do have it installed. I'm just not a coder.

I inputted the code and I get this when using the minimal version:

I get the same error when I used version 3 of the plugin. Something else is wrong. inputting the code does nothing if the code isn't saved. Does the code need to be saved in order for the plugins to work? I ask this because inputting the code everytime I want to use it, makes using the plugins no fun.

I then saved the code to each plugin and now the plugins have disappeared:


Just a suggestion: maybe the code should be apart of each plugin

@mackenzieh

Check the plugin description:

This is what I get when running version 3:






I already have OfNut's bend path plugin:


Something else is wrong with the plugin. It's nice, but fails to work for me. Also, adding a line also doesn't work.

Did you restart Gimp after installing ofn-bend-path.py?
Your message says it is missing.
Check the menu:
Vectors / Tools / Bend ...

This is what my gimp looks like:

It works now but I still don't like the fact the users have to move the FG color layer in order to see the actual result. I also think flattening the layer shouldn't be an option since the user has to manually change the fill pattern layer and the fg color layer positions to see the final result.

The plugin has options:
Background opacity: 0 for transparency
FILL (path to selection) ?: "Don't fill"
Stroke: "Don't stroke"
i.e. the result as in mini2 (only after setting)
Decoration is a separate fairy tale - I always recommend using it:
Custom Font Metallic Effects v.0.3

I understand the options. I figured out how to see the final result without having to move the layers: I don't use the stroke. I like that option better than Stroke with active brush and FG Color.

Is one click too much? There are different tastes.
Maybe you set the brush (or mypaintbrush) size and spacing incorrectly?

I'll keep playing with it.
