BoltBait Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Fill From File and Fill From Clipboard Plugins I rebuilt my new 4.0 plugins for the Fill menu against 3.5.11 so that people that don't upgrade to 4.0 will not miss out on all the fun. These plugins work as you might expect: Fill From Clipboard If there is an image on the clipboard (like after you've pressed the PrtScn key on your keyboard), use Effects > Fill > From Clipboard to tile that image into your current selection. If there is no graphic on the clipboard, you'll just get your original image unchanged. Fill From File If the image you wish to tile is instead in a file on your computer, use Effects > Fill > From File to tile it from your image file into your current selection. You can enter the path of the image in the text box or press the "Browse" button to select your image from a standard "file open" dialog box. For Paint.NET v3.5x Download here: FillFrom40.zip If you are using Paint.NET 4.1 or beyond, download here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/113220-i Install the normal way. Once installed, look under: Effects > Fill > From Clipboard Effects > Fill > From File... Enjoy! Versions V4.0 - (for Paint.NET 4.0) Fixed bugs (Sorry, 3.5 users... time to upgrade!) V4.0 - Added Placement, Zoom, and Sampling Method V1.3 - Added "Browse" button V1.0 - Initial Release Edited July 17, 2019 by toe_head2001 Formatting 5 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hello and thank you for this tool. It's great for creating tiled backgrounds. May I make a couple of requests? 1. Is it possible to add a feature that will allow the user to start the tiling from the middle of the layer so that the edges will be symetrical at the edges (the top and bottom edges as well as the left and right edges)? 2. Is it possible to add a feature that will allow the user to control the size of the picture being tiled or how many times the picture will be tiled on the layer?

Eli Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Eli, I have updated the plugins with your requests. Please try them out and let me know how you like it. Thank you! The new features allowed me to create this frame by moving around and resizing the flower picture: 1. Created a tile with Fill from File plugin( used a square image). 2. Deleted the inner section and added volume with Bevel and Drop Shadow plugins. You did it so fast that I am not ready yet for my next request Edited June 6, 2014 by Eli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seerose Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Many thanks for your hard work. This is a awesome plugin Edited June 6, 2014 by Seerose Quote Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I used the tiling capabilities of the plugin to create this frame. I started with an image to create a tile on two layers and with some duplication, flipping and cropping I ended up with this frame. It looks good to me. I thing that with your knowhow, you are very close to creating a new pluging for paint.net, a "Frame generator". Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midora Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Testing these plugins I'm wondering if the zoom slider is not inverted? In the moment a value 2 means 50%. I would expect 200%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 I just fixed a bug in the 4.0 version of this plugin. 3.5 users, it's time to upgrade! Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Gendalf, the placement and zoom features are nice in this plugin. I get my square image with no problems using whole numbers (1, 2, 3, etc). The problem arises when zooming with decimal values. The squares tend to blend and, in your case, the white border disapears. Mister BoltBait will probably address this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel84 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hey guys. Looking for a plugin that can do this but randomize the orientation of each image. Trying to take a circular company logo and make it into a tileable print pattern for fabric and wallpaper. Currently playing around with this plugin to do it by taking various orientations of the logo and tiling them on top of each other, flattening, then doing the layer -> rotate and zoom function, then iterating that process. It's creating a really nice random effect, but the part that's really missing is that the tiling is always in alignment. Would be really nice to be able to have each tiled image set to a randomized orientation. Otherwise, love the plugin. Many thanks for implementing!

jjshurtz1 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 hi if i could do this myself i would but is there a way to program it to add multiple random layers in random order and select how many times to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 No. You'll have to add layers manually. The plugin framework does not allow new layers to be created.
