The lines are a bit regular... adding some random to the code would probably help.

Joe: you have been reading my mind. That is exactly what I wanted this for.
I've been working (very, very slowly) on a worldmap with a lot of mountains... I was at this point and thought "why the crap should I do this by hand; at the rate I've been moving, it'll take me months to do all these..." So... I thought, what if it could be automated?
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

Pimping my worldmap here. Still WIP... long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far...
With the script I munged up, if I start with this:
and do a selection to alpha then alpha to path, running the script will do this:
Enlarging and shrinking the selection first (to make an outside path and an inside path), then running the script first on the outside then on the inside I got something like this (after playing with spacing and such):
Of course, randomness lengths could be added in. Unfortunately, pdb calls won't use new settings like jitter ;(
Let me know and I'll upload a copy if this is the effect you are looking for.

That is pretty awesome close to what I was talking about! I wish I could pip you another green blob!

Why not just use the iWarp tool?
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone," it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all."

Great stuff as usual RobA!

Never able to leave "well enough" alone...
I've updated the script so it converts the path to a selection and tries to figure out "inside". If there are unclosed path segments, the endpoints are joined and that is "inside". If the path segment is perfectly straight and the software uses "down" as "inside". The script won't check that your stroke length stays inside... you will have to worry about that yourself
Here are the modes now offered (the faint red circles were added after to show the path location):
And attached is the updated script.
..And if someone can provide the scheme code to turn a 4 value array: (cons-array 4 'double) where it holds X1 Y1 X2 Y2 into a larger array with jittered intermediate points, i.e. X1 Y1 Xa Ya Xb Yb ... Xz Yz X2 Y2 then the strokes could jitter...

There's a slight issue when you run the script that it doesn't return the selection to the layer you are working on. This means you have to remember to select the layer again if you want to run the script again.
Looks good so far! Thanks Rob.
oops.
Throw in this line:
just before the line with the ;done down about line 249Code:(gimp-image-set-active-layer img inLayer)
That should take care of it.

That looks amazing. I like the effect that it has. I'll be trying this out.
