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 16.18, “Neon” for details.
