A bit harder than expected (for closed strokes, the parallel stroke should be going in the other direction if we want a selection between the two).

- Create ROD with Kozuka
- Path from text
- One call to script to add parallel strokes to all strokes at .5 pixel distance
- Selection from path
- Drag gradient across



Now back to tackle the open strokes (they have to be transformed in ribbons)

Nice sunny afternoon here... took the time too shoot a couple of photos

Ofnuts you know how there is that smell before rain? I do believe it is coming your way

It's possible to fill the selection with color and have it only 0.5px wide?

Is stroking the text to path with a 1 pixel brush wider, or when your selection is filled, does it end up being 1.0px wide?

This is the path stroked with a 1.0px paintbrush and using a gradient.

Oregonian,
Pixels are dots on your display.
They cannot be cut in half.
So the number of pixels must always be whole numbers.

I was wondering about that open stroke for paths, because from my understanding, any consecutive selection in or outside of the original selection (from a path) would remain "underneath" the original, unless it intersected inversely.

Painting is always applied to complete pixels, but I think this actually leads to faint colors (I have not checked but the selection channel must be less than 255)

Where might one find this script?

Thanks ofnuts
I will be donning rain-dance gear for the next few days ... just a heads up.
Meanwhile . .. enjoy the sunshine.

Saulgoode:

I think he is currently working on it and hasn't submitted it yet.

Yes, having a real hard time with the open paths; looks like there is bug in in Gimp.
