oh it takes a while alright.
I had to go and brush my teeth and then came back it still didn't finish took like 25 minutes in total to hatch 42 colors on this lion again

Love that. Did you use the hue mode?

it helps a lot removing the "undo-history" from the script
...
(gimp-image-undo-disable image)
...
...
...
(gimp-image-undo-enable image)

What hue mode? unless you meant "Break into color components" then yeah.
It's a cool source image to begin with.

No; GIMP actually crashed. Crashed several times (closed after I said OK to the error message) for a few of the images that I've tried.

I'll try that dinasset.

When I tried to put these commands in the script, the script no longer shows up in the menu. Where do I need to put these commands in? Coder I'm not.

Lyle, do the following:
1) replace line 37 of the original which reads:
(gimp-image-undo-group-start image) ;undo-group in one step
with this one:
(gimp-image-undo-disable image) ; DN = NO UNDO
2) then replace line 215 of the original which reads:
(gimp-image-undo-group-end image) ;undo group in one step
with this one:
(gimp-image-undo-enable image) ;DN = NO UNDO

I did, it works

removed the undo group in the parent script (auto hatch layers script).

6 colors was gonna post this in primary color RAP (random art prompt but) this uses 6 colors so i guess it's not primary anymore.

I made the image gray scale first, then looked at the pure primary and secondary colors and desaturate by luminosity to find out what colors appears from darkest to lighest and colorized the image based on that order.


I just had problem uploading this image because it conflicted with an existing file name....that wasn't too much trouble but it'd be nice if when you upload images, it'd would add something to the filename so that it would be unique all the time

to "remove" them is not enough, you have to explicitely "disable"...
(I also speak of the "auto hatch ...")

OK; that appears to work Dinasset and the processing for this image did not crash GIMP. Thanks a heap.

Glad you succeeded, Lyle!

nice it looks like a cut out paper collage of a doll

Thanks Tran; did pre-process the original by running it through Autotrace for simplication prior to running your Script.

Now available on http://gimpscripts.com/2015/06/auto-hatch-layers/

Updated to include "Triangles" and include "Triangles" when "All" is chosen.
Now available on http://gimpscripts.com/2015/06/auto-hatch-layers/
Don't forget to update the http://gimpscripts.com/2015/06/hatch-selection-layer/ as well.

Like the new triangles Tran; didn't really have a great image to use the preset though. Just a rooster that I took at the zoo a few years back.

thanks!
that's sure a nice image of a rooster.
I am happy i got all pattern of basic shapes down now

You might wish to consider placing both procedures within the same .scm file. You'd still have both commands available separately, however, people might find working with a single download easier and less prone to error.

thanks.
I might.
