I can actually appreciate the multi-node resister problem ofnuts. lol

Surprise that creating a sawtooth or triangle wave over s sinusoid would be a problem though in Python. I do understand the f(x) challenge though; not a necessary feature and quite frankly might be just too weird to look at. lol

The problem is really for the arbitrary f(x). But sawtooth/triangle might be slightly more complicated that you think, round-off errors may put the apex in the wrong path. Look for a Slinky v1.0 sometime next week (should also have squares). MathSlinky will take a bit more time.

Question to the crowd: how many of you use the "high precision" toggle I added in 2.0?

Do I dare say 0.2 to you too ofnuts (so you aren't the only one O;

). lol

Right... but you didn't answer the question

I tried splitting the post, but was unsuccessful. I sent a msg to O.

You're right; I just left everything to the defaults ofnuts. I just did try a quicky with the precision and it is slower but it worked.

I used high precision and does a great job of closing those paths. Nice!

And while I was mucking around with the new slinky plug-in, a new thought formed in my mind.

Spiral Paper Text Or Trampoline Text

I've been messing around with trying to get the holes to line up with the slinky. I'll post an example soon.

This is what I had in mind, looks cool, too!

Definitely like the tanned hide concept Mahvin. Excellent idea despite you tanning my hide. lol

Ahhhh, you got it before I could poke some fun! Hahaha...

Now I understand your needle for the triangle and sawtooth.

I have the slinky-0.3.py file installed, but I can't for the life of me find it in my menus. I know I used it in the past before going to Gimp 2.8.20, but now I can't find it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Nevermind! I found it!

For most purposes Slinky is superseded by path-waves...

PhotoMaster · **Posted:** Wed Apr 26, 2017 9:04 pm **(#26)**

Created this one with Slinky. Just downloaded path-waves and will be playing with it for sure.

That's pretty cool, Greg.

Hi Photomaster
Very Good.

Nice 3D illusion on the coil with the subtle drop shadows. Now, how about adding some to the "worm"?

The drop shadow is there, too. You might have to full size it to see it.
