Symmetry Tile

Graechan · **Posted:** Sun Jul 06, 2014 10:37 pm **(#11)**

Whether using select all or a rectangular selection care should be taken with setting the width and height settings,
they should be divisible by the image or selection size used (x2, or x3, x4 etc.),

or the result may not come out, if your width and height are to big try scaling the image down first

Interesting script yielding some beautiful results. Thanks a lot!

when creating diagonal tiles [parallelograms], however, the seams are shown

Just can not get results.

I tried over 7 times, changing settings, and all I get error messages.
I do not know what I might be doing wrong.
Finally tried the same image that the Graechan used in post # 8, and also received another error window.

Akros you must make a rectangular selection first or 'select-all'

Thanks elfnor and GnuTux. That is a very nice script. :tyspin

I tried it with a poster I did for summer season.

Thanks everyone for trying this out and for the feedback.
Looks like I've got a few things to fix:

Graechan:
The height and width must be a multiple of the same number. I'll loook into this. I must admit, all my testing was with square images.

Akros:
Currently you must make a rectangular selection before running the plug-in. GnuTux's suggestion of changing the plug-in to use the alpha channel if there is no selection, is a good one. I've also not tested the plug-in on layered images etc. only on jpg, png imported directly.

Do you still have a problem if you leave the height and width at 500, and select a small (100 x 100) section of a jpg opened in GIMP, and then run the plug-in?

K1TesseraEna:
Seams in the images from non-rectangular cells.
I thought I fixed that, its rounding versus truncating floats to make integers, and whether to grow the selection before the copy and paste. I'll look at that.

Elfnor I was trying to impress on people the need to be aware there is a connection between the selection size and the output size selected
but you have definitely brought your plugin to the right place for testing and constructive criticism

If your troubled by the transparent spaces try running RobA's 'Fill-Trans' until fix is made

Interesting tiler. Thank you elfnor. I went through all of the default presets and there are some good ones.
I have a couple patterns here I have made with it and one text example.

A small detail unnoticed. Thx for the clarification.

Now I'm able to use the script without problems.
Graechan and elfnor, thx! :tyspin

I like your sig akros....how long have you had it?

I like it too Akros.
Sallyanne, I love yours cuz it reminds me of a lot of embroidery I did and I call that the Satin stitch which works very well on text and stems etc.

Thanx Molly. What is the font you used? It looks nice.

OK; figured out how this one works. Helped that I had a similar excercise with Poincare Disks a while back. Used the p6m to create the seamless tile by strategically cropping. The jpeg's just a 1000pxX1000px fill. Again, thanks for the python plugin.

Elfnor the Symmetry group 'pmm' does nothing.
Entering my own 'bdpq string' had no effect,shouldn't any thing entered in 'bdpq string' take precedance over the 'symmetry group' option,
it is this part I'm vague about
