; fade-outline.scm
; version 1.1.11a
;
; This GIMP script_fu operates on a single Layer
; It blends the outline boarder from one to another transparency level
; by adding a layer_mask that follows the shape of the selection.
; usually from 100% (white is full opaque) to 0% (black is full transparent)
;
; The user can specify the thickness of the fading border
; that is used to blend from transparent to opaque
; and the Fading direction (shrink or grow).
;
; The outline is taken from the current selection
; or from the layers alpha channel if no selection is active.
;
; Optional you may keep the generated layermask or apply
; it to the layer
