Stack Layers By Colors Ver.3

 (Stack_Layers_By_Colors.py)

Author: Tin Tran [aka: Tin, Tim, Trandoductin]
(small changes by MareroQ [MrQ])

In menu: Colors ➤ Components ➤ Stack Layers By Colors...

    This plugin will make a copy of your active layer in a new image, then turn that image into indexed mode with number of specified colors, then for each color it'll make a copy of it and stack it on a new layer. So the result is that you'll have different colors stacked on different layers. Can be useful for screen printing.

Changes in Ver.3 introduced by MrQ:
-added layer names by color,
-remove selection,
-resize layers to image size,
-changed location in Gimp menu.

Changes made by MrQ:
- the compass is created on a transparent background,
- add selection of line thickness and color,
- add option to add compass dial color (BACKGROUND COLOR),
- change of location in Gimp menu.

The script uses the 'Circle-3' brush [internal name: 'Circle (03)']
Copy the brush to the home "brushes" directory or activate the brushes from share\gimp\2.0\brushes\gimp-obsolete-files (the directory name must start with a capital letter, e.g. 'Gimp-obsolete-files').
