Path to script: http://flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com/GIMP/Scripts/sg-mean-fill.scm

I'm having trouble with this script. I don't remember if I had used it in gimp 2.4 or 2.6 the first time.

I am trying to apply it to a selection.

Perhaps I'm using it wrong.

maybe change value (Something less then 256 ) or add a alpha channel will help

Not sure i didn't use the script yet, i just suppose it includes a step to convert to index and back to rgb, ..and then the max should be 255 (+1 ...but this last one reserved to transparency )

We were using it in lylejk's mosaic images. I was trying another turtle. I think you were in on it too, PC.

Sometime in the last month or two, they changed the upper limit of the upper limit argument of the Histogram procedure to 255.

I have updated the original script.

Thank you. I'll send Lyle a link to this thread so he can get it too.

That's an interesting report about the histogram. They got it fixed though.

Seems like stuff changes when you least expect it.

I'm still getting an error message (same as previous) when I try to use it. I did download the one in the link, deleted the old one and put the new one in my scripts folder. I also closed and re-opened gimp.

Looked at the date in the script and it says 4/21/2010. Perhaps the update didn't get uploaded?

Hmmm, strange. The upload worked (I could download the new version using FTP) but it did not update the modified date. This means that your webbrowser used the version it had cached (since the online version wasn't seen as being newer) and didn't bother downloading the new version.

I have manually updated the date on the file so a download should work. If it does not, you could clear your browser's cache and try again (on Firefox cache clearing is under "Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Network"). There are only three instances of "256" in the script which need to be changed to "255", so editing the script manually is also an option.

Thats what i was going to suggest to just update the script manually, much easier. =)

I cleared my cache twice and no joy. Tried a different browser, no joy.

Closed all tabs in Firefox except one and made it a blank white page. Cleared cache, cleared cookies. Closed and re-opened Firefox.

Finally, I got the right one. Thanks.

I honestly don't know how it could have been stored in cache since last April though. I know I've cleared my cache a few times since then.

FireFox is weird that way, every time it updates it seems something goes haywire, and it updates daily it seems ... lol =)

Can't believe this thread is 10 years old. I have updated this script to work with GIMP 2.10.20 ( I wasted far too much time hunting an error while in 2.10.14, which disappeared after updating ).
This largely involved replacing deprecated calls with their replacements, figuring out what had to be changed in the call, as well as dealing with the changes to the inputs of the histogram / threshold commands (0..1 instead of 0..255 range)

I have also added an option to use the median, rather than the mean, presented through the UI, though results may be unexpected depending on selected content.

Right now the option to check for this option is in one of the inner loops. The original code is very efficient, meaning that inner loop doesn't run as often as one would think. Nevertheless, if performance is a concern, this check could be moved outside and the inner code duplicated (with appropriate adjustment) instead.

Note: I didn't have much knowledge of script-fu when I began this, so if there's egregious mistakes, please do aid in making it better.

As apparently one can't upload scripts here, and off-site URLs are too spammy for new users, please accepted the following code block:

Yes, though that command is deprecated in 2.10.x , thus the change-over.

After a good night's rest and some coffee, and re-reading my statement about 2.10.20 fixing a bug I was chasing, I retried the original script in 2.10.20... and lo and behold, it works just fine in that version.. so I ported it over needlessly

At least I learned some script-fu along the way, I suppose!
