now looking for a name for this kind of mirror effect

NOT orthographic projection because is not (see Note )

so something else...maybe 8-ways mirror (opposed to the standard mirror effect that could be called 4 ways mirror ? )

any other idea ?

NOTE a orthographic projection correspond to unfolding a 3d object as example a a cube but ( as everybody that never played with dice should have noticed )a cube has 6 faces ...not 9 !!

there is, a far i know, no any 3d oblect that may be created by joining 9 rectangles of identical size so i believe can't be a orthographic projection

...and anyway i hope for a more evocative name

How about "OctoMirror"

Octagon being an eight sided shape

You could go with something such as... Cube Unfolded? Gonna have to get this to work for 2.7 be back when I uninstall and reinstall G'MIC

the black lines were already on the original so is perfect.
I didn't play much with the MM composer but i feel very tempted now with such good ingredient

would be possible edit the script to add a option to increase the layer size instead then mantain the original size (yes i know will be much bigger and could be very risky to use such options on already large image :wh

... )

Rob's result looks identical to using Simple's Center Tile plugin. Cool stuff.

I don't know if MathMap can create a larger layer. My understanding it will only modify pixels of an existing layer.
