Is there a way to render the Mosaic plugin w/o grid lines? Example:

i used Filters -->Render -->Pattern -->Grid i made a grid on a new layer. i blurred it and color reversed (so far, i used the default values on all of the plugins) and started to use Filters -->Map -->Bump Map on it.

something is not right about my bump map plug-in (i am using an old cvs build so this is not me complaining ....) so instead of finishing it, i got a screenshot of what the preview says i should have gotten.

the xcf with the grid layer is here: http://carol.gimp.org/files/mosiac_grid.xcf

and the screenshot of the bumpmap plugin is here: http://carol.gimp.org/files/mosaic_grid-bumpmap.png

FYI, I'm trying to Gimpify this tutorial: http://www.xanthic.net/tutorials/pstut_screenzoom.html

thank you for translating graphic effects from a photo-centric app to our image manipulation app! it should take only a few more steps to do this or perhaps an interested coder to improve the abilities of the mosaic plug-in to accomplish this effect.

IMO, to do that tutorial, gimp tools are render grid filter (it can do both the L pattern and the thick one directly to layers) and pixelize filter (for the "mosaic"). Unless the mosaic they talk about is something else than make image look like nearest neighbor scaling (which is yet another option too and doable in one step, if you do not use the 5.5x scaling then pixelate approach and prefer a cleaner result).
