Generate Cross Stitch pattern and DMC thread information Script for GIMP
With the below script, you can generate your own cross-stitch patterns for free (in GIMP).
I was watching people cross stitching on twitch.com and decided to do a plug-in/script for people to use to cross-stitch.
Use this as an alternative of programs like Winstitch (if you can't afford it). Hope you guys like it. If you find it useful, I'd love to hear from you about it. Also there's a Beads pattern script which is an a variation from this script intended for perlers.
Download Download (for version 2, if you wish to manually change one or more DMC colors after the automatic process, you can use "Cross Stitch DMC replace color" script found here --> http://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=520) Script Menu location: Python-Fu/Cross Stitch...
If you do cross-stitching, consider joining us on our new forum on cs-pattern.com
Script Options Instructions:
1. Open up any image, with an active/selected layer.
2. Run Script (Python-Fu/Cross Stitch..). Adjust options.
3. Wait for script to run (it'll show progress bar).
4. After script is done you should see 2 new images (1 is the cross-stitch pattern, the other is DMC thread information [also used to name the layers in the cross-stitch pattern image).
5. Enjoy cross-stitching! If it works for you, I'd love to see your final real life cross-stitches (share on this thread if you'd like).
Sample original: Sample cross stitched pattern Sample thread info image Screen shot of viewing cross-stitch pattern while in GIMP. Note: there was a white layer of 30 opacity added over top of stitch pattern to allow stitch symbols to be visible (even when over black). If you wish you could toggle this layer's visibility off.
Sample pattern with white layer turned off. Video clip of me using the script in GIMP
GIMP 2.10 screenshot (version 3 of script) While on cross-stitching related topic, you might be interested in http://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=518&p=3347
Or if you want to be able to manually choose your DMC for each color instead of this automatic method: http://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=520

That looks like a really neat script, Tin! I did not get into cross stitching as never really had time for it. However, If I ever do, I'll remember your script for certain.

LadyAshleen on twitch said that right off the bat, she would suggest that she wants the ability to change individual pixels.
As GIMP is already a great image editor, this script is meant to be run on an already finished image so any edits should be done before using script.
I suggested that what she should do is before generating the cross stitch pattern:
As GIMP is already a great image editor, this script is meant to be run on an already finished image so any edits should be done before using script.
I suggested that what she should do is before generating the cross stitch pattern:
- Edit/Work on her image as pixel art. Like for example if she wants a stitch pattern that is 100 stiches wide, she should edit scale the image down/up to 100 pixel wide
- Then Image->Mode->Indexed (enter number of colors she wants).
- Continue to work in indexed mode as pixel art (zoomed in)
- Then once she's happy, she can convert it back to RGB mode by going Image->Mode->RGB
- Now that the image is ready, run script to generate cross stitch pattern (on this ready result)

Tin, you have created a very useful great filter. I love it.

Hi
I just downloaded your script and placed in the plug-ins directory for GIMP(2.8), but it is not showing up in the menus( after restarting GIMP).
Before I go off poking around in the code, are you aware of any problems/solutions?
I'm using OSX 10.12.4 and GIMP 2.8 and have the script at ~/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.8/plug-ins/
Cheers

I think if you're on linux you have to make the .py executable.
aka Tin
The file was defaulted to executable
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 xxxxx staff 33250 9 May 14:08 cross_stitch_tt.py
I might have to go get my shovel!
Thanks for getting back to me.

have you used .py scripts before this one?
You should try putting in your user's GIMP's plug-ins folder.
