      This filter will turn your image into a jigsaw puzzle.
      The edges are not antialiased, so a little bit of smoothing often
      makes them look better (i. e., Gaussian blur with radius 1.0).

      If you want to be able to easily select individual puzzle-piece
      areas, as for the example above, render the jigsaw pattern on a
      separate layer filled with solid white, and set the layer mode
      to Multiply.  You can then select puzzle pieces using the <a href="ch03s02s05.html" title="2.5. Fuzzy Selection Tool (Magic Wand)">magic wand</a> (fuzzy
      select) tool on the new jigsaw layer.

              <p>
            How many tiles across the image is, horizontally and
            vertically.

              <p>
            The Bevel width slider controls the slope of the edges of
            the puzzle pieces (a hard wooden puzzle would require a low
            Bevel width value, and a soft cardboard puzzle would require
            a higher value).

            <dd>
              <p>
            The Highlight slider controls the strength of the
            highlight that will appear on the edges of each piece. You
            may compare it to the "glossiness" of the material the
            puzzle is made of. Highlight width is relative to the
            Bevel width. As a rule of thumb, the more pieces you add
            to the puzzle, the lower Bevel and Highlight values you
            should use, and vice versa. The default values are
            suitable for a 500x500 pixel image.

            You can choose between two types of puzzle, 
            <span class="guilabel">Square</span> then you get pieces made with
            straight lines, or <span class="guilabel">Curved</span> then you get
            pieces made with curves.
