Is there a plugin or a means to weight a shaped blend to certain predetermined points instead of the normal center of the shape?

Not directly, but you can:

1) apply a plain linear black to white gradient


2) Use Curves (or, in the simpler cases, Levels) to map to another gradient.

Thanks for the help, but that will not work. I will keep trying to write a script to do the work.

Maybe as a starting point for a script. RMA_path_blend.scm Uses two paths and there are snags - the paths must have the same number of nodes + empty space to fill in.

If its a script, you can replace the Curves by a Gradient map with a gradient created on the fly.

Otherwise show an example of what you want to do.

Something like this: http://gimp-wrapmap.sourceforge.net/

I am working on a height map. I have the land roughed in as a flat surface. The sea floor has been roughed in and edited. The mountains were already placed. I wanted a blend to go from the shore pixels to the mountain pixels. Using the builtin blend, the mountains would be surrounded by a hill. And I have recently given up on writing a script so far -- I keep running out of memory and am not sure where or what is eating the memory (16 GB or ram and 2 GB swap).

Perhaps post an example picture?

I would try something like this:

• get a selection on the shore line
  
• then:
  
• duplicate the initial layer
  
• apply a blur
  
• repeat a couple of times with increasing blurs
  
• blend the layers: given them an opacoy of 1/N, N being their order in the stack from the bottom: lowest is 100%, next is 50%, then 33%, 25%...
  

With just two (60 and 120) blurs and stretching the contrast  a bit:


Assuming that you start with the selection already set, it should not be too hard to script if you want many layers.
