Hey all-

I'm revisiting a bunch of my old tutorial and GIMP scripts as they are so out of date. While poking around the new GEGL based filters I discovered a new one Filters->Render->Noise->Simplex Noise.

It looks pretty weird at the default settings but if you pull the sale waaaaaaaaay down and the Iteration waaaaaaaaaay up yo get some pretty good looking "mid-scale" coastlines. Here is a sample at a scale of 0.05 and Iterations at 10:

And after a quick select by colour, filling and stroking:

Seems I've got a bunch more playing around before I figure all the new stuff out
