Using Twist plugin via PDB

Graechan · **Posted:** Fri Apr 06, 2012 6:56 pm **(#1)**

Does anyone know how to set up the twist plugin or know of any previous discussion on this or any site about using the twist plugin in a script.

the settings are many and vague

Code: Select all

(plug-in-Twist 1 image image-layer   
                                    0.75          ;a1 
                          -6.50         ;a2 
                          -2.60         ;a3 
                          5.60          ;a4 
                          0.20          ;a5 
                          6.00          ;a6 
                          -0.04         ;a7 
                          0.00          ;a8 
                          ()            ;lettering01 
                          ()            ;lettering02 
                          ()            ;lettering03 
                          ()            ;lettering04 
                          ()            ;lettering05 
                          ()            ;lettering06 
                          ()            ;lettering07 
                          ()            ;lettering08 
                          FALSE         ;use-cutoff 
                          0.50          ;r 
                          O.20          ;dr 
                          06)            ;current-function

I'm not sure about what noninteractive, lettering, or current-function arguments should be.to set up for this

It would be cool if you could automate the butterfly wings Graechan. Maybe some coders here can answer how to include this cool plugin in a Script.

Good luck with it Graechan. As far as i know this plug-in is like compiling Gimp on Windows.
The setup for the environment is hard to overcome, but once you do it just works.

Who knows what all these magical settings mean? It doesn't even come with a PDF manual. :\
PC explained it all quite nicely when he said it is a real pain to work with. (In not those exact words). :lol

However it does make quite beautiful butterflies and i hope you get it working correctly.

Personally i would use all of Lyle's settings and cheat a bit.
