Requested plugin Christmas Wrapped Text

This was a request from one of our users, Mackenzie
**I want to thank GIMPCHAT user and coder, Ofnuts, for his great plugin "density-brush-fill-0.2" that was used to create my plugin** found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-t ... y/download

Pocholo,

I tried the plugin and immediately the plugin produced this error:

The missing plugin is an old one of ofnuts, density-brush-fill-0.2.py dated 2012-12-05
Near the bottom of the list here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to ... s/scripts/

Pocholo does give a text file explaining where the included fonts / dynamic / brushes go.

Want to change anything, then you need to edit the script

Not everyone knows how to edit scripts or plugins.

The plugin works. To say just to edit the script if you want to change something is vague and could render the plugin useless. I think there should be an option to change the font and text color.

@ Mackenzie - The way you're writing, it sound that you're demanding things here. I try to created as the psd tutorial but there is a slide difference when it comes to GIMP. This is a simple plugin. I did not make it with a font option because Fonts are not the same size or shape and the ribbons and bows would not be aligned with the letters. You asked me to create the plugin as the tutorial, this was freebie "beggars can't be choosers". So accept it as is, or pay someone to create the plugin the way you like it.

i didn't mean it as a demand, Pocholo. I'm sorry if it came out that way. I was replying to Rich2005 the second time around and forgot to quote him and reply that. I appreciate you creating the plugin.

Thanks Pocholo for your plug-in. I like it :tyspin

@Pocholo, Out of interest, I did look up that PS procedure, very complicated. You made a good conversion for Gimp.

@mackenzieh, Do not worry no comments ever directed at you.

For anyone else, it is line 70 in the script. Keep it short, preferably four characters, otherwise you get black text that needs hand colouring and the embellishments not exactly correct.

Thanks Rich2005. I figured that playing with the text layer works once the plugin has finished running.

I made a Gimp Custom Font similar to this.
