i believe in both
it is there to avoid to mix 32 and 64bit binary (mostly important in case they have the same name )

I have the official 64bit version and that is the correct path for the python folder

This is a list of my files and there paths

C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\lib\gimp\2.0\python\formula_viewer.pyw
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\lib\gimp\2.0\python\formula_presets.csv
C:\Users\Graechan\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\b&p_vector_path_1.py

My install works fine

Yup; listen to Graechan folks (wish I would have gone the extra mile). If you do what Graechan outlined, it will work. Mine's a little different since I did a custom install (i.e., my program directory name is GIMP 2.8; lol).

Yeah i have portable and my install locations are
F:\Gimp-2.8-32bit-Partha\lib\gimp\2.0\python for the csv and pyw files, and
F:\Gimp-2.8-32bit-Partha\pref_1\plug-ins for the python module.
And my install works fine.

Here is animated path (APNG) - 100 layers or segments.

Reverse path

Pretty cool being able to auto stroke with the brush!
Nicely done B and P! :bigthup

Still more ideas coming to mind, so there will be another feature added soon - stroke duplication with offset,rotation,scale(problem with scale). Now you could get to those certificates and money bills design Lyle

Stay tuned.

Wow! This just keeps getting better and better.

Alright, here is the beta for testing. I just finished coding it in Gimp 2.6 on Win XP. Seems to work, but I need you guys to help out and test on different setups.
Post examples and bugs! Cheers.

As usual doing things in reverse, I will have a look at that PDF now.

Thanks B and P!

Some tests in Gimp-2.8 windows xp 32 bit.
This is out of Parthas 32 bit Gimp-2.8 portable version.

First off i have to say the dialog is so long i can not see the bottom. :lol

It's probably okay for monitors that are not wide screen, but mine is.

Then after entering the values i got a trace back error.

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:\Gimp-2.8-32bit-Partha\lib\gimp\2.0\python\gimpfu.py", line 699, in response
    dialog.res = run_script(params)
  File "F:\Gimp-2.8-32bit-Partha\lib\gimp\2.0\python\gimpfu.py", line 361, in run_script
    return apply(function, params)
  File "F:\Gimp-2.8-32bit-Partha\pref_1\plug-ins\b&p_vector_path_2_BETA.py", line 194, in draw_path
    for i in range(copies):
TypeError: range() integer end argument expected, got float.

Hello All
I have been trying to get this working on linux (xubuntu 12 to be exact).
I tried all the methods mentioned in this post with no luck so I think I narrowed it down one problem (since someone else got it working with python 2.7 that wasn't it.
this is the python path.
In this thread I seen it had to be this:
python=C:\Program Files\Gimp 2\python\pythonw.exe
/usr/bin/python=C:\Program Files\Gimp 2\python\pythonw.exe

ython:E::py::python:
Thats for windows
In linux it is:
python=/usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python=/usr/bin/python

ython:E::py::python:

So I take it the path in the plug-in has to be changed.
import os
os.startfile(path+'\\python\\'+'formula_viewer.pyw')
but to what?
any help in this would be appreciated.
I really want to try this, the spiro one has the same issue.

Thanks in advance
Sam

Ah, yes. Damn. Always forget that 2.8 requires explicit integer type declaration ( default is float). I will fix it some time soon, but you might not wanna wait for me;):
change

Code: Select all

range(whatever)

to

Code: Select all

range(int(whatever))

and you should be good to go. Apologies.

@samriggs:
I think you're on to something here. Hope, someone will sort it out for us. I am developing on Windows, no access to Linux or Mac, so cannot help.

@ samriggs
more or less working here.
This is in a PCLOS, Gimp 2.8 RC1 and python 2.6.6

From what you say python 2.7 is not the problem, can't say.

The b&p_vector_path_2_BETA.py (or the pre-beta one) goes in /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins
and
formula_viewer.pyw & formula_presets.csv goes in /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python
You need the pre-beta zip for these files.

Remember to make the .py and .pyw executable.

Very-very quick try here, As seen the formula and perpendicular modes working. However the random mode crashed.

edit: a little more testing. Using the random mode, the plugin crashes. No callback info available.
However, a path is generated with a blank reverse path. Turning off reverse path - no crash.
