Yup, it looks like convolve only supports an integer centre - there are ways around it using crop & shift, it’s just a bit messy…
Ah yes, definitely. This implements a discrete convolution.
I am aware of the parameters but have yet to give it a try. If you all could provide simple examples of each (command, stdout/display and diagram), that would be great.
Ok, I tried using this, but there’s no way to hide the dot from the preview portion of the screen without changing the output of it. What can I do about this? I used this on the Fibonacci GUI filter.
I feel like I’m missing something here… Why is this not smooth?

After zooming in:
What I’m trying to do is to create a smooth map where it is wrapped around with bicubic mode.
Looks periodic to me. What is it supposed to look like? You mean the start and end of the period should be a much smaller step in colour? There is a leap in green and a flip in red and blue.
The right (which is the problem image to solve) is supposed to look like the left though the left is using linear interpolation, and the right is using bicubic interpolation. So yes, there should be a smaller step in color and with bicubic interpolation.
I realized that cubic spline would solve this, however, I still don’t know how to code that in this context as I do not understand how that works. 
@afre After looking at this page, I believe I have my solution - Cubic interpolation - Paulinternet.nl

const length=w-1;

);

Never mind. I found it here - Reptorian G'MIC Filters - #612 by David_Tschumperle
Sorry about that. I bookmarked it.
I saw kth(), and vkth(). How do those even work?
-
kth(n,arg1,arg2,...,argN)returns the n^\text{th} highest argument from the argument list that is passed (with n starting from1).
kth(3,10,52,38,25,3)
-> 25
- If you pass vectors as an argument of
kth, it’s like adding the list of scalar values that compose these vectors to the list of arguments. So,kth()always returns a scalar value:
kth(3,[10,52],[38,25],3)
-> 25
- That’s why
vkth()also exists: it works with vector-valued arguments and return a vector-valued result (wherekth()has been applied to each vector component):
vkth(3,[10,52,8],[38,25,26],[-3,-8,-9])
-> [ 38,52,26 ]

Question about the critical() function. Does it execute operation on multiple thread when the fill/eval starts with >? I think that’s how I am able to solve my test code in my g’mic thread.
EDIT: Nope, it doesn’t. Really wish there was a function that would execute a operation at multiple threads if fill/eval starts with >, and said function waits for everything to finish before continuing on to the next part of the code.
I got it. I solved it, the answer is in my g’mic thread.
I want to have labels within image that is order of sort of shapeaverage value ignoring 0 value. How would I do this? Like higher shapeaverage value has higher label value. 0 for lowest value, and 50 for highest value. In addition,disconnected areas being labeled the same if they have the same area.
Also, I want the same for minimum value.
What is wrong with using label_fg? 
The problem with label_fg is that same areas away from coordinates 0,0 will be labeled differently. In addition, I want to isolate the stray black/white pixels.
See this picture to see what I mean:
Hence, why I need label based on the sorted order of value found with shapeaverage0 and all of them ignores 0 as part of label. Basically, the area with most value has the highest id, and the area with least value has the lowest id regardless of whether they’re connected.
Have a look into 'karo_label_sort" or “karo_label” custom functions. Maybe that is in your direction.
My brain checked out for Christmas. 
What I meant is use label_fg or area_fg as a base for a custom command. Maybe @KaRo’s would be useful. I don’t feel like digging into my code snippets ATM…
To make things easier, @Reptorian, send us the code to make your image (with the ideal result). Then someone could experiment with it.
@KaRo : That’s not what I exactly want. I don’t want size. I want to label and sort the label based on the average value found within each region, and two areas of the same value has the same label. Areas with value of 0 are to be ignored.
Take a check at blend shapeaverage0.
@afre The command I’m working with is my own hitomezashi command. Copying from my G’MIC thread:
All you need to do is to assign same binary number on $1, and $2.

# Whether number is even is also part of rule.

I may find a solution here. My solution is to use label image to extract the info I want into a vector of size max number found with array. After that, I still have to figure out how to work with new vector and label image.
The gradient there might not be obvious, but it’s based on the minimum length to coordinate 0,0. Stray single pixels get random color from a different palette.
This is where I got the gradient idea: https://github.com/josephsalmon/Tweets
Ok, I’m stuck with something. I have 7 arguments after the 9th arguments. My problem comes when the user insert empty arguments.
Here’s what I have:
arg9,stray_red,stray_green,stray_blue,border_size,border_r,border_g,border_b,frames
These arguments applies when I insert two image_args in arg5,and arg6. Nowhere else do they apply. For me to be able to work with this, I need to be able to have the option of generating selection of arguments based on mathematical expression. I thought creating a vector of arguments would work and extracting them, but vectors don’t accept empty arguments.
In addition, they don’t have to be restricted to 3 channels, but rather the number of arguments depends on number of channels for last image. So, in case of 5 channels, it would look like this:
arg9,stray_c,stray_m,stray_y,stray_k,stray_a,border_size,border_c,border_m,border_y,border_k,border_a,frames
Something like $=p, but with the option of using it akin to vector of arguments or something to extract group of stray arguments, and border arguments.
If this test command could work, then the above problem would be solved:
C:\Windows\System32>gmic rep_test 10,20,30,40
[gmic]-0./ Start G'MIC interpreter.
[gmic] *** Error in ./rep_test/*substitute/ *** Unknown command or filename '2-4'; did you mean '-'?

Have you tried string manipulation or if else statements?
