I'm working on making rivers for my map. I want to have rivers with multiple branches. I found ijontichy tapered stroke path plugin, and it works great.

However, in his thread he starts with a path that has multiple branches on it. I can't figure out how to do that with the GIMP path tool. I can only make a single line. Which I guess still works, because I can just do a separate path for a branch of the river and then stroke. But I'd like to know more about GIMP's path tool, because it confuses me.
