i'm trying to use random_shapes.py working in gimp 2.8
previous version i had went into error for "integer expected got float"
downloaded the one under sourceforge - more recent, rel oct 07 and supposed to be updated to run under gimp 2.8 - and it crashes without even showing input panel : error msg:
"Plug-in crashed: "random_shapes.py"
(C:\Users\User\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\random_shapes.py)"
Does somebody know what's wrong with that plugin? thanks
(i posted a question also under sourceforge, but it seems they are not so responsive as you gentlemen are
thanks

Would you have a URL to the file?

Not a gimp plugin

Most numbers returned by the dialog are not ints but floats, so as a safety measure you can cast them all to int:


Hmmm. It's generating an SVG file and then loading it, instead of generating the shapes directly as vectors....

thanks to everybody
the url from where i downloaded the last version is:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/randoms ... rce=navbar
the code in that python module is:
import random
import turtle
from turtle import *
#shapes = random.randrange(5, 50)
shapes = int(raw_input('How many Shapes '))
turtle.screensize(100, 100)
colormode(255)
r = random.randrange(0, 255)
g=random.randrange(0, 255)
b=random.randrange(0, 255)
bgcolor(r,g,b)
scount = shapes
LengthU = 600
LengthL = 590
while scount != 0:
r = random.randrange(1, 255)
b = random.randrange(1, 255)
g = random.randrange(1, 255)
fillcolor(r,b,g)
pencolor(r,b,g)
sides = random.randrange(3, 12)
angle = ((sides-2)*180)/sides
angleO = 180-angle
count = sides
length = random.randrange(LengthL/sides, LengthU/sides)
if LengthL-20 !=20:
LengthL -=20
if LengthU-20 !=30:
LengthU -=20
x = random.randrange(-250,250)
y = random.randrange(-250,250)
lastx = x
lasty=y
penup()
turtle.setx(x)
turtle.sety(y)
pendown()
turtle.fill(True)
while count!=0:
forward(length)
left(angleO)
count-=1
scount-=1
turtle.fill(False)
while 1:
temp=0

using python console it seems that module turtle is non accepted (i have a turtle.py in the python library)

i'm not a plugin developer: is this NOT a plugin for gimp?
thanks

Certainly not... Gimp plugins must use a specific python-to-gimp library, and tell Gimp about their contents, so they contain a line that says "from gimpfu import *" and at least one "register(...)" call.

OK, thanks Ofnuts, i will stay w/o that (the older version which was probably a gimp plugin was not updated for gimp 2.8, so it crashed)
