Automatic cutting image into equal parts

[rinaldop]

Hello again everyone,

I am back with a question about automating tasks. I have the image below.

     

It is a quarter of a circle, 90 degrees. I want to make a gauge out of it by cutting it into 100 segments of 9 degrees each. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

Maybe, 100 iterations, 90 deg, more old scripts, I have posted these before but to keep for this topic. (attached, unzip and put in scripts folder)

   

(1) Determine a suitable "wedge" This is so small, it is basically a rectangle.
(2) A new image using that "wedge"
(3) Apply Selection -> script-fu-copy-rotate-nLayer  Center of rotation is bottom - right corner / angle = -0.9 deg / copies = 100

   

(4) Apply Layer -> Multiple Layer Actions -> Layer to Image Size (to fix rotated layers outside canvas)

As an animation:

If you make 10 segments of 9 degrees you will have 90º.
How can you want 100 segments of 9 degrees in a 90º arc?
Wouldn't it be 10 degrees by any chance?

I tried using the Duplicate and rotate a path script, but it doesn't work with decimal places.

I would need to have an angle of 0.9 degrees to have 100 divisions in a 90 degree arc segment.

Ugh, you are correct, I did the math wrong, it should be .9 degrees

It's good to know we understand each other now. :-)

I believe that with the ofn-dial-marks.py plugin you can do this.

     

You can find the plugin at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pa...s/scripts/

WOW, thank you very much!

I will give it a try

I suppose the same technique can be used to move this minute hand around the dial?

You can or possibly better is the path rotator script mentioned by Krikor

Thank you, I will try that!

I will also look at the   the Duplicate and rotate a path script, if I decide not to use decimals.
