RobA's Sample a Gradient Along a Path

This one is pure awesomeness, I played all the afternoon with it and I' m still in awe!
This one should be in GIMP by default.

PixLab - another good tool for creating your own gradients, this time SVG based, is a plug-in from Tin Tran - I have attached it below.

Thank you very much, (right click on a gradient > SVG > 3 choices), I'll play with it to see what it does, and try to follow your tuto here > viewtopic.php?f=11&t=16693&start=10#p229939

Looks like that is the most recent version of svg-gradients.py It still references Gimp 2.8 which causes an error in my linux Gimp 2.10

If using linux edit the script, line 38 , and comment-out, easiest way is go back to hard encoding the path. This for my appimage Gimp

Code: Select all

#where gradient folder is located, the ~ will be expanded by calling os.path.expanduser() function later 
gradient_folder = "~/.config/GIMP-AppImage/2.10/gradients/"; # <<<<<<< line 38
#gradient_folder = os.path.join("~",".gimp-2.8","gradients","") #as suggested by dinasset to not hardcode slashes.

Just a reminder, the gmic_gimp_qt plugin has a nice visual gradient filter where you can juggle the start / end points.

Yeah, I just used G'MIC's gradient from line for the first time on an image I have and ended up making a decent copper e-map in the process.

Interesting topic with good contributions. I'm interested in the G'MIC gradient from line - thanks rich and racer-x.
