The MathMap GIMP Plug-In

What is it?

MathMap is a GIMP plug-in which allows distortion of images specified by mathematical formulae. For each pixel in the generated image, an expression is evaluated which should return a pixel value. The expression can either refer to a pixel in the source image or can generate pixels completely independent of the source.

If you have any suggestions, bugs to report, expressions which generate cool effects, or if you just happen to like or dislike this plug-in, in other words, under any circumstances, please drop me a mail.

Where to get it

Get the source of version 0.13 here. You'll need bison and flex in order to compile it (both are included in any sane operating system distribution). Note: Version 0.13 requires GIMP 1.2! The last version that runs with GIMP 1.0 is version 0.10.
