But you got me thinking and I found gimp_edit_fill(drawable,fill_type) that covers it. So the script works now. For the record, it "wraps" a bit map around the selection: http://i26.servimg.com/u/f26/12/46/16/36/wrapbi10.png Besides the obvious double rainbow generation, I intend to use it to generate complex ridges around arbitrary object shapes for bump-mapping. Anyone knows if something like this been done before (in other words, am I reinventing the wheel)? I couldn't find anything like it in the plugin registry. If not, although it works, I'm not too pleased with its performance. would it be ok for me to post the code here so that the gurus can lead me towards better ways to achieve the same result?
