I'd like to know if its possible to draw 1 spline per visible border. Would be very helpful.

Hello @matthew_0433,

 

In the Mask to Paths node parameters, you may adjust the 'Mask Threshold Value' so that all borders are accounted for.

Some quick adjustements provided me with the result below:

 

 

You may also adjust the 'Smooth Mask' parameter to better align paths to the borders, at the cost of more vertices on these paths thus more segments in the generated splines. I hope this is helpful!

 

Best regards.

    I did manage to get an example working similar to yours. What became unrelaible was changing the seed and the maskthreshold value behaviour excludes some borders outside of the range. I had more luck using B&W for something this simple.

    The problem returns again though with something more complex, for example getting splines to follow borders on a cells pattern.  I think its impossible atm to get 1 spline that follows this pattern. Maybe you know a way? 

     

     


    rather than multiple splines following each island perimeter.
