Hi Jehan, The GEGL spyrograph operation is very basic, and untested from gimp. I intend to keep developing it, since I thought that on-canvas interaction would be very user-friendly. However, I am not sure I will be able to get it work in a way that makes the on-canvas interaction interactive enough.
Even if I do, it will *not *do what the Python plugin can do. It will be much more basic. Perhaps if/when I finish the GEGL operation, you might consider the GEGL operation not worth including (which is fine, its a learning experience for me). But I am for including the Python plug in.
