currently planning to create a dotted map of the world - any ideas here

[sayhello]

hello dear @Ofnuts, @rich2005, @Krikor, @PixLab 


sorry for the late reply. - i was very busy the last week., 

....many thanks for your reply and your support. This is very kind and i am lucky.

there are different approaches towards this task

@rich2005 you show e.g. in this film: https://imgur.com/FpEVWdO

to recapitulate - all what understood ....  in your approach 

only one layer is used:
load the SVG in GIMP and
render this

Edit> Fill Path

choose a fill path
choose a file style … with Paintbrush
[x] Pattern
[x] Antialising


i want to do this map now: 


again ....many thanks for your reply and your support. This is very kind and i am lucky.


 Many thanks for this scaffolding-approach in GIMP and for the help: since you

- give us mini-lessons visible here in this thread,...
 gives us many many examples for creating a dotted map with GIMP...i am overwhelmed your lessons are;
- starting points for me (and i am pretty sure for many others too) to make the next steps... and you...;
- describe concepts in multiple ways...;(see above with the different approaches of you, Ofnuts, rich2005, Krikor, PixLab);
- you incorporate practical steps in GIMP and also aids with examples (see the pictures of Krikor and Pixlab);
- all that gives us novices the time to do some things with the first steps (also in creating [dottet] Maps) and yet...
- encourage (all the novices here) to go ahead with little steps; therefore you offer mini-lessions...
