Is it different to the one in GMIC where you can turn a picture into plaid?

I didn't know G'MIC had one, but if I don't have to leave GIMP to do something I'm happy!!

It's under patterns
Just open picture of the colors you would like as a plaid and it will do it according to the amount of colours in it.

EDIT: Actually this is just default setting you can change them to your liking

I didn't know GMIC had that one either.
But the results looks different.

In other languages the word "clipboard" does not exist, to set the clipboard pattern for all languages as the active pattern in scheme I used
(gimp-context-set-pattern (caadr (gimp-patterns-list "")))

Hello trandoductin,
thank you, that script do it. For me was difficult because not know what I had make false. The Gmic Version worked and after some tries, I could even do it by hand. I do this possible once before but forgot it. Now is easyer for me.
