how to change stepsize for stroke path with pencil?

Hello,

I'm using gimp 2.8.2 on debian wheezy and have a little problem, which can be reproduced like this:

File -> New (image size 640x400) Ellipse selection tool 60/60 500x280 select -> to path
select -> none
Pencil tool settings:
mode: normal
opacity: 100.0
Brush: 2. Block 01
Size: 80
aspect ratio: 20
angle: -45
Edit -> Stroke Path (stroke with a paint tool -> Pencil)

At the top and bottom of the ellipse the outline is discontinued.

With View -> Zoom: 800% the stepsize for the applied pencil can be counted. I count a gap of 8 pixels, but I found no way to configure the stepsize. I'd like to have the pencil applied each pixel along the path. Is there a way to achieve this?

cheers

Santi

This is the "spacing" of the brush. Open the Brushes list: click on the brush icon in the Tool options, then on the brush icon at the bottom of the list, or Windows/Dockable dialogs/Brushes, the use the "Spacing" slider.

Thanks a lot for that hint!

Open the Brushes list: click on the brush icon in the Tool options, then on the brush icon at the bottom of the list,

Seems as if the dialog for existing brushes is read-only and I found no way to switch to read/write mode

or Windows/Dockable dialogs/Brushes, the use the "Spacing" slider.

Great! That way helped me solve it :) Additionally I found a way to add my own brushes. Thanks again!

Cheers Santi
