I have a script that counts the anchors in a path. It was written by fencepost.

Right-clicking the path layer shows Path Details and that is supposed to give me the info I want but clicking it just gives me a path details dialog that doesn't tell me what I want to know. Clicking OK gives me an error message and I expect that the script was written for gimp2.4 and needs to be updated for 2.6







I have attached what I believe is the correct script. I keep changing this post.

My script seems to work ok in 2.6.10.


I do however get an error with my Fractalize the Path script. =(

I will try it out and see what I get.

Well I gave it another try. Tried it on the same path that failed the first time and this time it worked fine.

Computers!

yup puters are funny that way.
glad you got it running right. =)

I dont see the Fractalize the Path, but I like the Path animation!

This image is really lame, but it was just to test out the script, which works wonderfully!

download the script here..

Fractalize works fine for me on 2.6.10 under windows!

The script is not outdated; it just makes some assumptions about paths that are not necessarily true.

For example, in the procedure 'fp-script-fu-vector-details' the following lines appear:

This assumes that all stroke-ids are sequential, starting from "1". Such may not be the case if any anchors or strokes have been deleted from the path.

A better test (if I understand the script correctly) would be:

So if I'm reading you correctly, saulgoode, a path that I constructed then went back and added or deleted some of the anchors would likely deliver an error message with the original script?

LATER NOTE: Experimenting shows that is not the case. The path was edited and the script worked ok.

It depends upon how you edit it.

The following steps should result in an error when you try to get the details for stroke #1:

• Create a closed path consisting of at least four anchors.
• Delete the two sides/legs adjacent to the first anchor.
• Delete the anchor point (the first one) that has been isolated.

Note: if you save your file as an XCF then reload the file, all of the strokes will be renumbered such that the Art's script will work again (better would be to fix the script per my preceding post).

Ah! That's probably why it worked on the second try then after I had said it delivered an error message. I had saved the file as an xcf file and closed it. I re-opened it to re-test it.

I'll make that change in the script that you put up. Thank you.
