A nice plugin. Thank you so much for this new one, Pocholo.
It runs perfectly and the result is perfect in chain text. :clap

I also tried it, Pocholo. It does work perfectly! Good Work. I did find myself trying to change the colors and parameters of the individual layers. Currently only the text wording can be changed by the filter. It would be nice to set up with choices made in dialog boxes and then run the filter. That way, the background is not always black as could use whatever backgrounds in your Patterns folder. I played with choosing another font and still got a pleasing effect. It kept the chain text effect and I played with the text layers to make some color changes.

Those were things that came to mind as I played with it. I feel awkward many times making suggestions as I know nothing about writing code. Just remember how well you are doing in a short period of time. Be Proud!

Thank you Pat for the input. I will post Version 2 adding an option for Pattern and a Color change.

About the coding well, it's not so hard to learn. It's basically knowing a math, and knowing GIMP pdb (procedure browser). There are not to many artist coder teaching much, but the do teach the basic of GIMP Python. Like, your first script to learn would be; "How to create an image text "Hello World". This uses basic techniques on the "Procedure Data Browser" pdb.
