Smooth Path (new)

November 5, 2009 - 22:38 — ijontichy

This plugin will take the active path and smooth it, using a Bezier
interpolation algorithm. If you've ever wanted to define a bunch of
points, and then have the GIMP draw a smooth path through them, this
plugin is for you. There is the option to smooth corners between a
range of angles.

Settings include:

  • Smooth only specified corners: If checked,
    only corners whose interior angles lie between the two settings below
    will be smoothed.
  • Minimum angle: Corners blunter (greater) than
    this angle will be smoothed.
  • Maximum angle: Corners sharper (less) than this
    angle will be smoothed.

This plugin creates a new entry in the Paths dialog right-click menu.

For details of the algorithm used in this plugin, see here:

Be sure to read the readme.txt file for installation and user help.

Thanks to Rob Antonishen for his valuable contributions.

Hi,
I could not get this to work on windows with Gimp 2.6.7
or 2.6.3.
And I made sure the plugin was in the right place.

Works for me. Please

Works for me.

Please describe the steps you've done so far, and tell what happens and what doesn't happen.

Oops

It works, I didn't have the paths-dialog open and was right clicking on the image instead of in the paths-dialog.

Thank you very much, ijontichy!
