A simple plugin (Python) to create a variety of shapes path (centrally in the middle of the picture).

Normally I use Arakne-path-shape-creator8 http://www.arakne.es/en/2015/09/ - but in Gimp 2.9.5 does not work.

My code is primitive - but it is the beginning of learning - to understand writing plug-ins associated with paths.

In menu GIMP: Filters/Path/Simple shapes centered...

weird, I don't know if you guys see this on your screen but the above image when you're scrolling the red fruits seem to have shadows added to them then when you stop scrolling the image catches up and no more shadows.

You are right, Tran, I see the optical illusion.

Yes i see it too. But i also see a shadow associated with the tree line.

Thank you MareroQ. A nice addition to shapes.

Thanks for testing.

In the new version a few shapes in parts (marked in the menu "$[amount]").

Rel 0.2: Add shapes: "Pentagon", "Star pentagons", "Pentagram", "Yin-Yang", "Petals", "Quadrant", "Flower".

Thanks, MareroQ!

Outstanding!

Again thanks for testing.

New in Rel 0.3 (changed the attachment in the first post):

1. Add border to layer - requires Changing Image Border.scm.
The combined two scripts:
TheUncle2k (http://theuncle2k.deviantart.com/art/Re ... -150439776) "Resize_image_to_layers_by_theuncle2k.scm"
and Fencepost "All-layers-to-image-size.scm". Thanks for authors!

2. Add shapes: "Trefoil","Quatrefoil","Cross","Crescent","Pie","Semicircle", "Arrow".

3. Sorted shapes alphabetical.

Changing Image Border.scm in menu GIMP:
PPM
Layers/Changing the image border...
Layers/Resize all layers to image size.

Just one request:

The Recycle symbol

The Recycle symbol?

Preferrably a prettier version of this. My class makes the new recycle signs we place on new cardboard bins, and having a path generated of it would give them lots of fun doing all sorts of interesting things to it. Including the font script. My brain is kicking into gear with all kinds of ideas.

Sounds like a great idea!
MrQ seems to be on a roll sooooooo........

Recycle symbol?
or maybe you can recycle the recycle symbol image, select black color then Save Path and Load it up whenever.
Here i turned into path and played with it

@Mahvin
This is not a simple shape.
It is based on the Mobius strip of - but it is artistic and not mathematically (what is needed).
The proposal TT is very good or alternative:

=========================================================================

Today, a little tip on new options (Changing Image Border):

Thanks, guys. That is how we already do it. Use an existing image, create selection, save to path. A call-up from a script would be universal, though.

It's ok. Some things do not pass the litmus test for mathematical reasons. We will carry on.

Thank you!

Rel 0.4 (changed the attachment in the first post):

- add shapes: "Octagon","Triangle Reuleaux (curvilinear)","Flower" divided into two (in and out);
- add option shape in selection;
- add option (inspired by Dinasset ) "Stroke Color" and "Fill Pattern" created by Tin Tran (https://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php?t=3&t=141#p324). Thanks Trandoductin!.
