GEGL Goo on Text

Gimp filter where GEGL puts goo on your text. It works great with my other text styling filters.

If you want to compile you must compile gegl:goo-text, gegl:ZZwind and gegl:bevel. ZZWind and Bevel are components of GEGL Goo Text and GEGL Goo Text will not work without them. GEGL Bevel is a bonus filter that comes with goo-text and a few other of my filters. If you already have gegl:bevel in GEGL Plugins you do not need to recompile it unless you want to update to the latest version which is recommended.

This is what the plugin looks like with modifications

OS specific location to put GEGL Filter binaries

Windows C:\Users<YOUR NAME>\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins

Linux /home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Linux (Flatpak) /home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Linux

To compile and install you will need the GEGL header files (libgegl-dev on Debian based distributions or gegl on Arch Linux) and meson (meson on most distributions).

meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build

If you have an older version of gegl you may need to copy to ~/.local/share/gegl-0.3/plug-ins instead (on Ubuntu 18.04 for example).

Windows

The easiest way to compile this project on Windows is by using msys2. Download and install it from here: https://www.msys2.org/

Open a msys2 terminal with C:\msys64\mingw64.exe. Run the following to install required build dependencies:

pacman --noconfirm -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-meson mingw-w64-x86_64-gegl

Then build the same way you would on Linux:

meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build
