I'm new to GIMP (trying to finally move over from PSP9!) I want to create a sunburst gradient with a variable number of repeats either by repeat count or angle (e.g. 4 repeats = 90 degrees). Is there a way to do this without adding dozens of points to a gradient?
You can start with a rectangular image that you fill with a repeated linear gradient (using the repetition option of the blend tool of course, set to Sawtooth):
And then apply Filters>Distorts>Polar coordinates with To polar ticked:

Thanks for that - it's worked pretty well. Would be nice to able to do this and have a slider to change the number of repeats but it gives me something to work with.– Jim HuddApr 29 '20 at 15:51

Looking at how to multiply a gradient so that you could easily multiply a gradient for use with a conical blend but don't hold your breath.– xenoidApr 29 '20 at 15:59

@JimHudd - you can change the number of repeats by shortening or lengthening the gradient line. Apr 30 '20 at 10:09

@BillyKerr I tried that but it only worked for linear gradients, not conical– Jim HuddApr 30 '20 at 11:59
