Aha, the plot thickens. btw, when you make your own brush, with the brush editor, is it a vbr brush?

Actually, I've thinned the plot out and solved the problem. Take a look at your screenshot:



Notice the scale is set at 3.00. When you hover over the path with the scaled brush it appears that it should work, but the script is not set up to handle scaling of brushes because most of GIMP's brushes cannot be scaled in a script. The only ones that can are editable brushes. I don't want to go into the mechanics of it, but it was best, IMO, to not try and handle different scaling scenarios in the script, so I left it out completely. I used your settings which is why my results can out the same as yours. Can't believe I didn't catch it the first time around.

My suggestion is that you create an editable brush, double-click it, and set the desired settings within the dialog that opens and then run the script. It works fine....just tested it myself. Here's a star brush I quickly created with a small radius and wide spacing just to show you.



And the same brush with a large radius to cover everything:

Yes.

[2-ton]

so you make your own brush to the size you want in the project because the script is going to use the size it is at 1.0 if it is a vbr brush???? Well, now that the secret is out, we can be sure to use a proper brush!

Correct. There is no scaling of brushes through the script, even if it's scaled in the brush option dialog. However, if you make a brush of your own and it's editable (that's the key), you can double-click on that brush and set the various options within that brush dialog and it will work fine.

I hope you realize, I didn't design the script to be complicated; however, there are certain limitations within GIMP that really would have complicated things from a programming AND usage standpoint.

It's a great script...and simplicity is part of that.

I re-read my post above and it comes across to me as being quite rude. I apologize if it came across to you that way, as that's not what I intended. This proves that rushing through a post without thinking is not a good thing. :oops: My intent was to provide some background as why I programmed the way I did, without being overly complex. Again my apologies for sounding so short.

[2-ton]

No, I didn't read it as rude, but as an explanation about keeping it as simple as possible not just to write, but also to use. And thanks for figuring out about brush sizes! Making the right size brush is an easy solution.

I finally got around to trying this out here's my first effort:

For this one I set the brush mode to dissolve and used a Maroon and White gradient (my footy teams colours):

I love that! I never really thought about using effects to paint in text to make it more interesting! Great idea you have there.
