Following wbool63's tutorial of Hatched Fonts

This script allows you to change settings below and it'll run on your created text/art/shapes


Put the below file in your gimp's scripts folder (It'll be available under Script-Fu -> Hatched)


Here's a test using default settings with shapes


Here's a test using default settings with text


Here's a test using different colored settings with text

There was a bug with order of layers if you try to hash the shadow of original hatch.
Fixed in Latest version (in 1st post).

Here's a test that hatched a text with default settings,
then hatch the created SHADOW layer with shadow opacity set to 0, shrink distance set to 0, and a different hatch gradient angle(45) and smaller hatch gradient width(1)

my trial

Trandoductin, Thank you for making a script. Should the script work with gimp 2.6.11?

Hello, thanks for your script, but it doesn't work for me. It does an outcome with error.

probably the gradient selected does not exist, try to select another one existing on your PC

Thank you so much dinasset, but I don't see the option to choose a gradient on the emergent window. I've selected in tools just in case but it continues giving error.

so, then it is hardcoded in the script
but it is a standard Gimp gradient, one of those automatically generated using BG and FG
but...
maybe also that I didn't point correctly to the error cause
let's be the author (Tin) help you in a better way
sorry...

Thank you so much, dinasset. you're very kind.

Issabella,
just to make a last check:
click on your gimp gradients
do you have in the list one which is called exactly "FG to BG (Hardegde)"?
or -maybe- you have that name translated into Spanish?
IF SO (and only if so), copy that gradient, rename the copy just made in English terms -as shown above- and try again the script.
It could be that -being hardcoded in the script- the installation language create problems.
Let me know....

wbool63,

The script (in 1st post) was intended for gimp 2.8.
But I just wrote another version for 2.6.12 you can try this one (hopefully it works for 2.6.11 as well).


It needs to have layerfx.scm installed (found here)

2.6 Test (Hatched once, then hatched the shadow of the first hatch with shrink distance 0 and shadow opacity 0)


Also there is no "FG to BG (Hardedge)" gradient in 2.6 so I set it to use "FG to BG (RGB)" gradient.

This is for Issabella,

Since it's in a different language and there is no "FG to BG (Hardedge)" Gradient.
This version allows you to pick a gradient (if an error message pops up saying gradient doesn't exist or something like that just ignore it since you can choose your gradient).

trandoductin, I don't know how to thank you your especial extra work for me. You're so kind. I'm going to test it and hopefully everything will go right. I'll let you to know. Anyway Thank you so much always

I'm sorry, but it didn't work for me in spite of your effort. Please, don't worry as it'll be my gimp language. I send you the error as it may help you to detect the wrong thing.

Issabella,

Do you have "layerfx.py" (found here) installed?

Yes, I have.

you have .scm installed, my script calls the .py version
let me try and make another version for you that calls your .scm version.

and I have this too.

calls script-fu version of gradient-overlay (for Issabella)
hang on i got some error

Trandoductin, please, don't worry. I'll try this tomorrow morning as I have to go to sleep. Thank you very much.
