This is for gimp 2.6.11.

This is a request for Gimp v 2.6.11. The soap bubble script calls for the Circle Fuzzy (07) brush but it tries to get it from the userfiles brushes. Although it works fine copied into the userfiles, I would like for it to get the one that's already in the brush files that come with gimp.

My 2 attempts at changing it didn't work. I expect there's a way to call a system brush.

(gimp-context-set-foreground '(0 0 0))

(gimp-brushes-set-brush "Circle Fuzzy (07)")

(gimp-selection-load chan1)

(set! space(car (gimp-brushes-get-spacing))) ;in order to preserve previous brush spacing

(gimp-brush-set-spacing "Circle Fuzzy (07)" 0)

(gimp-edit-stroke rim2)

(gimp-brush-set-spacing "Circle Fuzzy (07)" space) ;reload original spacing

(gimp-selection-invert img)

(gimp-edit-clear rim2)

What I changed it to. I also tried it without .vbr in the name.

(gimp-context-set-foreground '(0 0 0))

(gimp-brushes-set-brush "Circle-Fuzzy-7.vbr")

(gimp-selection-load chan1)

(set! space(car (gimp-brushes-get-spacing))) ;in order to preserve previous brush spacing

(gimp-brush-set-spacing "Circle-Fuzzy-7.vbr" 0)

(gimp-edit-stroke rim2)

(gimp-brush-set-spacing "Circle-Fuzzy-7.vbr" space) ;reload original spacing

(gimp-selection-invert img)

(gimp-edit-clear rim2)

O note: I have removed the attached SoapBubble2.4.scm because GnuTux has updated the script to SoapBubble2.6.scm below.

To select the brush, you can use..

I don't understand where to put that in the script.

This is where it is in the original script.

It would replace


..which has been depreciated.

Also, I removed the code which saves the brush spacing and replaced it with an overall context push & pop to the stack, so as to maintain your initial settings.

Here's the new black rim block...

Thank you very much. That is much better.

Hey Tux is there as way to just call the current brush?
That might make for some cool looking designs in itself.

That way if i wanted i could use any same sized circular brush i have like a vector one.

Yes. Just comment out...


.... to use the currently selected brush.

Thanks Tux!

Here is one with the sparks brush.

Wouldn't it be safer for the script (and maybe more accurate) to create the brush from scratch (gimp-brush-new(), gimp-brush-set-{shape|radius|hardness|spacing|spikes|...})?

Many scripts do create a temporary brush.
It depends on the skill and experience of the script writer.

Feel free to hack away. It's not my script.

I only hack python, I have high standards

Yes, if one wants to use a hack language, Python is the first one that comes to my mind.

Ever notice that the longest threads in the forum are the ones trying to deal with Python problems?
