This is the Twist 2.0 image distortion plug-in written by Peter Uray.
"[...] The twist maps the input image onto the output image by translating the original
pixels according to a 2d vector field which is determined by the selected distortion
function. In order to support the user's creativity some parameters (up to eight,
depending on the function type selected) can be adjusted, resulting in different
effects. The output of the twist plugin is a geometrically distorted image.
All this applies to layers as well as to images.
The effect of a selected parameter setting can be viewed interactively in the
preview image. [...]"
Seems that it is currently hard to find on the net; hopefully this will become better. Attached are the sources and binaries for Microsoft Windows.

If was a reply to my message,
If was a reply to my message, i did already know that link and i found the info there
of no any pratical help.
To quote myself
"...define the available effects as 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 as in Twist (see interface) is inexcusable.
Just look the interface...
www.graphics-muse.org/source/GFXMuse/GFXMuseTools/modifie...
How effect 1 or 2 or R will modify a " R(r)- 4 order poly" ? ...
That to me seems much closer to demency then to math..i bet that not even Stephen Hawkins would be able to solve such riddle ! "
Twist offer the "best" example of puzzling and unintelligible user interface i saw till now
And the author note on the plugin (your link) is of not of any help
i do believe that to decipher that GUI no knowledge in math or geometry would suffice, would be required also a highly professional training in the field of enigmatography
1-8
are just preset parameter settings with no real math involved just probably a first setting the author thought looked cool.
1-8 are preset settings and R is for resetting those parameters to the default.
Mostly guess work in my honest opinion, but Lyle created a real cool looking flutterby with it! :)
