This functionality is exactly how the Scissor Selection tool of GIMP works. I
tried to download GIMP source code to see how this feature was implemented by
GIMP developers. However, there are so many packages and I could not find the
source files that has the code for the Scissor Selection tool (LiveWire
algorithm).
An ack query appears to yield some results:
gimp-2.8.14$ ack -g scissor
app/tools/gimpiscissorstool.c
app/tools/gimpiscissorsoptions.h
app/tools/.deps/gimpiscissorstool.Po
app/tools/.deps/gimpiscissorsoptions.Po
app/tools/gimpiscissorstool.h
app/tools/gimpiscissorsoptions.c
See ack ( http://beyondgrep.com/ ). You may also try a full text search (ack -g
only searches inside the filenames).
Note that GIMP's source code is licensed under version 2 or version 3 of the
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License which, while being
an open-source licence, imposes some restrictions on what you can and cannot do
with the code.
