Thank you!

I don't understand the question. I would say both. My fourth example in black and white was made with a gradient background.

Hi @Ambreville You could use the gradient with conical mode, draw it vertical. Duplicate the layer and flip it vertical Cut half of the circle.

@xod You could go over 10 sides...

i just like rotation angle: The gradient is on the angle/corner. But it isn't balanced with a odd number of angles (ex: triangle has two gradient with first color to two angles and only one with Second color to the third angle). Could you add an option to say first color gradient ends on angle and second color gradient end on the median of the side?

Hilbert filling curve texture What's this? This is a mathematical recursive formula. Peano and Hilbert worked on these filling curves to the point to prove the graphical equation could fill an area at 100%. Read more about this on wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_curve Only Hilbert version of the curve is available. I gave a try to Peano version but I need more time to find the good way to master it. Download it!

Depth Set the recursive level of the curve. Higher = darker = slower. Size in % It works like a zoom. Single cell size (0=auto) Instead of the zoom you could set the size of the single smallest part of the curve. Brush width Choose the size of the brush wide of the curve. Large sizes work better with colorful background. Transparency Value 255 means opaque (no transparency). When you redure the transparency to something about 60, combined with a large brush width then you could see some kind of magic happening. Line style Choose the style of the line to be full or a mix of dot and dash. End caps style Set the end of the lines by choosing between round, triangle or flat square. Antialiasing Check the box for quality rendering. Use colors from palette When checked each segment of the curve uses a color from the active palette modulo 96. The Examples: Voilà! Enjoy! Let me see what you could do with it!

Generate 96 unique colors for palettes What's this? Some other effects could use palettes of colors to fill the canvas. This is why I need to create palettes in many ways to use with these colorful plugins. This effect is able to fill the canvas with 96 different colors (16 columns x 6 rows) and save as a palette file. Download it!

Be sure to use a new layer or a new image. Then run the effect and choose the colors from start to end and the generator mode. If you check the box “save in user’s folder of palettes”, you will find “Gen96_aaaaa_bb.txt files. aaaaa is the reseed number used and bb is the step value. Existing files are overwritten. NB: If you use linear or HSV generator mode, you have to change the reseed value to save each palette with a different name. The User interface This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Tools. Reseed When zero the effect is in random mode. Every time a control is changed a new image is calculated (also when you finally press the Ok button). Other values than zero are used to initialize the random sequence. Same value should give the same result now and later, ever… Of course, this control is not used when the generator mode is linear or HSV. NB: This value is used to name the file of palette. Starting/Ending colors Select the colors from start to end as limits of your palette. Transparency mode (None/Random/Linear) Mode None, all colors are opaque. Select random if you want transparency in the palette. Linear gives a progressive/degressive transparency. Starting/Ending Alpha Set the transparency limits. Generator mode (Random/Linear/HSV) Select the mode of color calculation. -Random -Linear (from starting to ending colors, on the RGB channels). -HSV: from starting to ending colors, using Hue/Saturation/Value conversion. Save in user’s folder of palettes When checked each rendering create (overwrite) a palette file in the standard folder. It could be a lot of files if you let the reseed slider going up 1 by 1 increment… Step size Fill the palette with a step between each color. Instead of a regular “gradient” you will have some kind of checker… The Examples: Voilà! Enjoy! Let me see what you could do with it!

@AndrewDavid to tell the truth I'm about to release an other one tool for palettes + a new effect using palettes. These two effects to come lead me to create the list of pallets ... Stay tuned....

Then place the folder in the palette folder as sub folder... @Djisves @lynxster4 @Seerose Thank you for your interest.

List of Color palettes What's this? More and more color palettes are over time in the user folder and finding the right one can be difficult. This tool is made to display all the palettes on the canvas. What does it do? It looks for the files in the palette folder (and subfolders), reads the list of colors to draw a palette for each file. Empty colors are marked with X. Invalid colors are marked with a red X. NB: All errors (empty or invalid) are removed on all palettes when you save one palette with paint.net. One image of palette uses by default a rectangle of 180 x 90 + margins 10 and 7. Palettes are placed regularly on the canvas. Download it!

Be sure to use a new layer or a new image. Set the dimensions large enough to have all your palettes at once on the same image. Then run the effect and choose the colors for the text and the background. If some palettes aren’t shown, you could adjust the size (-/+ 5 pixels of the single color square) with the first slider. The User interface This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Tools. Size Adjustment This slider allows small adjustments on size of the smallest unit used: single color square. The other elements are based on this size. This is a tool and not a toy ?. If the adjustment isn’t enough you should consider to use another size of image. Border color Select the color for the borders and the texts. Back color Select the color for the background of the list of palettes. Background is visible behind empty or invalid colors but isn’t for colors with transparency. Read sub folders If any sub folders (or tree) exist in the user folder, check the box when you want to see the palettes of the sub folders. The Example: A message on the bottom line shows the full path of the folder and the number of palettes shown / the total number of palettes. The message is red if there are too many palettes for the size of the canvas. Voilà! Enjoy! Let me see what you could do with it!

Sorry, I can't find the link to version 2.3...

Can't you generate a map from Zenith POV? Nothing is hidden by elevation?

New version of HeaxGrid could be helpfull for this task. http://jcljay.free.fr/pdn/HexaGrid.zip Mini tuto: 1. Make the background Add a layer for the grid and a layer for the rivers On the layer Grid run the effect Hexagrid: - uncheck Anti-aliased -check Spot Crossing (this will add a white spot Then each segment of the grid could be slelected with the magic wand. 2. With the magic wand select the segments and the dots to draw the rivers. Eventualy select hexagons for the lakes. 3.Choose a color for the rivers. Activate the top layer and press backspace to fill the selection. 4. Add a new layer and redo the hexagrid without the spot crossing 5. Finishing with more textures

I think @AndrewDavid described a method to manually fill the gaps You could also try to use some sprites. Draw every possible river patterns : straight, curve up curve down, crossing... You could then have a neat grid when fil the gap by copy/paste the sprites. This plugin could help you to see what I'm saying (in a square wolrd)

A lot of varicose2 used here: -sky -sea -grass -trees original 4000x3000

Hello and welcome to the forum @old banshee Image 1: How is generated the original? specific tool, plugin, by hand? Do you use layers? (hexagrid background, generated river, river corrections, final river...) Image 4: When you past an image while the zoom is on (200-400% or more), the copy is placed to be seen in the working area. Be sure to zoom 100%! Ctrl+B

Many thanks @BoltBait

Hello, This is a code which works in Codelab 3.4 but I can't preview nor build it. preview build (Same message had AndrewDavid but I have no specific characters in my comments) I suppose the problem is linked with the loading of the palette. It stops working when I add this feature.

Last changes: 2018-02-20 Added new effect Varicose 2. Added new effect Signature stamp.
