Filter “Neon” applied

This filter detects edges in the active layer or selection and gives them a bright neon effect.

You will find in GIMP a script-fu also named Neon, which works in a different manner. The script-fu is an easy shortcut to construct logo-like letters outlined with a configurable neon-effect. See Section 15.18, “ Neon ” for details.
