The ofn-* scripts:

  • ofn-bend-path: bends a path vertically given an envelope: the "Curve Bend" tool for paths
  • ofn-dial-marks: generates dial marks (regularly spaced disk sectors) as paths.
  • ofn-export-paths: export all the image paths as separate SVG files.
  • ofn-fit-canvas-to-path: enlarges a canvas to fit a path
  • ofn-gradient-along-path: draws a bilinear gradient transversally across a path (Gimp 2.10 required)
  • ofn-jigsaw: generates a jigsaw pattern as a path
  • ofn-path-animation: generates a painting animation from a path
  • ofn-path-arrows: adds arrow heads to path strokes
  • ofn-path-edits: many useful edition operations on paths
  • ofn-path-filter-strokes: keeps/remove strokes in a path using a size criterion: number of anchors, perimeter, area
  • ofn-path-inbetweener: generates intermediate paths betwen two paths
  • ofn-path-marquee: generates a marquee-style animation along a path
  • ofn-path-merge-down: merges a path into the path below it in the Paths list along a path
  • ofn-path-rungs: generates lines between two paths
  • ofn-path-to cylinder: wraps a path on a cylinder
  • ofn-path-to-shape: generates geometrical shapes (circles, polygon, etc...) using points in existing paths
  • ofn-paths-envelope: generates a selection that includes two paths and everything in between
  • ofn-paths-to-selection: creates a selection which is the union of the selection of all visible paths
  • ofn-remove-tangents: removes small tangents in path
  • ofn-stroke-fill-paths: renders all visible paths by stroking/filling them
  • ofn-text-along-path: bends a text along a path
  • ofn-text-path-selection: creates a selection from a text path, where overlap areas are selected
  • ofn-truchet-path: creates a Truchet pattern

Some other Gimp scripts can be found here

Enjoy!

Installation

  • If the download is a ZIP file, unzip and extract the .py file. The rest of the ZIP file usually contains some HTML documentation which, while not being necessary for the good execution of the script, is of course recommended reading.
  • If the download is a .py file, make sure that it remains so (some browsers may change its extension to .py.txt, if so, rename the downloaded file).
  • In Gimp, open Edit>Preferences>Folders>Plug-ins. This lists two directories, one of them being being part of your user files, and one being part of system files.
  • Using your file explorer, navigate to the first one, and drop the .py in it.
  • Restart Gimp. The menu entry should have been created (read the plug-in documentation to find where the plugin creates its menu entries, it will usually not be in the Filters menu)

Notes for OSX, Linux and other Unixen

  • The plugin file must be marked as executable. The plugin extracted from a .zip should have the flag already set (but it would be the first thing to check in case of installation problems)
  • The name of the Gimp profile directory starts with a dot, so make sure your explorer shows "hidden" files.

Deprecated scripts

These scripts are replaced by a newer version, you will find the old version in the deprecated directory.

text-along-path-0.4.py

This script is replaced by ofn-text-along-path.zip.

This

  • fixes one annoying bug (one-pixel jitter on character positions) and several minor bug (around the handling of closed paths)
  • adds new functionality (Repeated layout)
  • adds a doc with many examples
  • removes functionality only usable in Gimp 2.6 (get the text, font, etc... from a text layer).

path-arrows-0.0.py

This script is replaced by ofn-path-arrows with some added functionality

stroke-visible-paths-0.6.py

This script is replaced by ofn-stroke-fill-paths

Not much change in 2.8, but in 2.10 it adds a "stroke line" option.

Various path edition scripts have been regrouped and repackaged as ofn-path-edits

  • delete-strokes
  • reverse-strokes
  • path-splice-strokes
  • path-summary
  • decompose-strokes
