just tried a star inside a star and got the same thing.

Your two spirals must be in different paths, not be two strokes in the same path. Otherwise what the script does is generate intermediate paths between your path and itself, leading to exact copies of the path. In my example in post #90, the two Gs are two distinct paths (as is the guide path above them):

They were 2 separate paths. Do I need to put them on the same canvas or separate? Let me try it again.
EDIT: I created two paths on one canvas with the path shape creator. Nothing happened between the paths. I also did one with 2 separate paths and still nothing. Was there only the one plugin I needed? I have downloaded and installed your most recent one.

Given your screen shot above you have the two spirals as strokes in the same path (each path preview would have shown only one single spiral otherwise). See here for some explanations.

I made a third path with the curve but I don't know how to tie that in with the to and from.

great updating ofnut!

If your dialog doesn't look like this, then you need to get the latest version.

Strange, I downloaded that this morning and got rid of 0.0 and gave it permissions. My dialogue is still the same as it was before.

Well, when you start the dialog it shows you what file it is actually executing.... (see the top of my dialog screenshot). Yours will also have the version in the file name (if you didn't remove it). You may have had duplicate versions of the old one (and Gimp registers only the first one it finds).

Thanks I got it now. I will have to change my Theme. I couldn't see the yes and no option, it was too dark ... my fault.
This is the error I get when I try it. I guess I don't know how to make a stroke path. I made an arc then stroked it then I tried to run the generator with the yes clicked and I get this error.

You need three distinct paths. The start, the end, and the guide. You are using on the the start/end path also as the guide path.

Yes, it's the order of the points that counts(*). Using the closest point when you twist the path over itself would yield unpredictable results. It would also break the assumption that you get the same results if you take the end paths and one of the intermediate paths and run the script on both sides.

For polygons, it's easy to force the first/last points. Just delete any segment between two points, and reconnect again. The new start and end points are the two points you reconnected. Of course you don't now in which direction the polygon runs, but I have a script to reverse strokes. For curve paths a similar technique is possible but requires a bit more care to preserve the tangents.

Thanks for the update, ofnuts, I've just tested it, like that guide-path addition.

To Stroke all paths I can merge visible paths and stroke but
how can I stroke all paths at once with each path-stroke on separate layers (e.g. for animation)?

This is what my stroke-visible-paths script is all about (with the "multiple" layer option).

LOL, it was posted 4 hrs ago. I downloaded inbetweener last night and, naturally, did/could not see it there.
Is it Christmas already? My wishes come true even before I think of them?

Playing with the "stretch" settings



these are the 2 original paths

regarding path-inbetweener script....
what line do i change in script to avoid square brackets in paths names, e.g. pathA to pathB [03/30]?
After I run stroke-visible-paths script, path names migrate to the new layers names.

I'm trying to run Animstack script to make an animation and square brackets
have a functional meaning - to define tags (see http://registry.gimp.org/node/26501)
I have to rename all layers manually to get rid of the brackets otherwise Animstack crashes.
Thanks.

I updated it 4 hours ago, but it has been around for a while. See history at top of files:
