GFXMuseTools Plugins - including custom arrow generator

The plug-in is available for Linux Only.
The source code is distributed by the author, Michael J. Hammel, and is available at:
http://www.ximba.org/gfxmuse/gfxmuse.html
via CVS.

On this site I have compiled versions for Ubuntu-6.06 and Slackware-10.2. Granted, I don't use these much, since the arrow brushes I made suffice for my modest arrow-head needs. But many folks had asked if such a plugin was avialable. Since Michael J. Hammel has done such a superb job with these, I thought precompiled versions for my favorite Distros were in order :)

Just uncompress the appropriate .bz2 file, copy the files to your ~home/.gimp-2.2/plug-ins folder, restart the GIMP, and away you go. Below is a screenshot. Further down are the downloadables.

Enjoy.
