    Ah rivers: Quick and Easy rivers in Inkscape with Fractalize and Tweak

    It's Inkscape rather than The GIMP but that might help.

    RobA,

    New User here so forgive any nOOb ignorance.

    I'm really interested in your Fractalize Path Script. I got as far as installing the .scm file into the script directory. I restarted the script server, drew a quick line using the pencil, converted the line to a path. Now is where I'm stuck. I click on the Path tool and then right-click on the selected path - but I'm not getting the dialog box.

    What am I missing? I'm betting it's something really simple. I looked around online for a video but of course all of the videos are for drawing "fractals" not using your script to convert a path to a fractalized line! I mean it sounds really simple - I'm just not seeing it.

    Thanks for the script and thanks to anyone who can provide me with an answer.

    You need to have the Path Dialog open:
    Name:  paths-dialog.png
Views: 35
Size:  5.5 KB

    and right click on the path in there to get the Path menu.

    This page 2.3.*Paths Dialog describes how to get that dialog open and docked somewhere.

    Thank You sir!!

    That's exactly what I needed - figured it was simple.

    Now I'll need to experiment with getting the result back into a normal layer but I'll figure that out later.

    I'll be using your script to make some dungeon maps, (Specifically the walls). I work in GIS but true cartographic design is something I've only toyed with. Still learning GIMP and all it can do. Thanks for this script though - it's going to make for much better looking walls!

    Thanks Again!
