: Gimp: making edges less smooth Most questions are about smoothing edges. I would like the opposite. I have this map: I would like a plugin/filter to make edges more rough. Something along

Basing on your example, this seems more a vector tool work.

If the original source is a vector, you can edit this with Inkscape. If the image is a bitmap, you can import and trace it (as in this example).

Now, you can edit the path, it's composed by nodes:



Select all the nodes and simplify the path by hitting Ctrl+L



With the node selected, convert the lines in segments by hitting the proper icon:



Change the width of the stroke and obtain the final image:



Too rough? You can simplify less or adjust the nodes manually before convert the curves in lines:



As alternative you can use the sketch effect (Path... Path effects... +):



You can play with the parameters (it's one of the live path effects):



And obtain another rough image:
