Limit line width

[gimp-artist]

There is an option named "Limit line width" in the distort>engrave filter category. Anybody can easily see the difference when it is applied to an image. However I don't quite sure why the name is "limit line width". Does anyone know what the name of this option implies?

The Gimp docs say Limit line width - If this option is enabled thin lines are not drawn on contiguous color areas. https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-engrave.html

Very obvious in the example(s) they show.

More useful keeping the lines from bleeding together completely in the dark areas (such as in shadow). Which is where the limiting comes in.



You might question if the tick box function is correct but it is a toggle: TRUE or FALSE. Maybe the wrong way round in the code.
