I would like to create an oval gradient. Kind of like the radial gradient except it radiates out in an oval shape instead of a perfect circle.

If there is no such thing as an oval gradient, then perhaps there's a gradient that fills an oval shaped selection. Can this be done?

All those questions will make a lot more sense when you also explain what the context is.

An oval gradient for what ?
For example you can apply an Inner Shadow to an oval shape, so that it would look like a gradient.
But thats all guessing as long as you dont explain what you are trying to do.

Is it something like this:



Apply a gradient to a selection.
Gradient one of the shaped modes. Unfortunately in Gimp 2.8 there is not much control over the effect. Adjust your own gradient before applying.

Two solutions:

1) Make a radial gradient and scale it along one dimension

2) Fill the selection with a "Shaped" gradient

I know ofnuts has a more modern python plug-in that does similar, memory fails me at the moment.

Possibly the old "wrapmap", but I'm not sure it would work here.

This is perfect, rich. Thank you.
