If there is no built in function, you might be able to find a Script-fu thing to do it or write your own (The 2.2.2 version has a new language called Tiny-fu which is simpler and will eventually replace the more arcane Script-fu. http://www.interlog.com/~kcozens/software/gimp/tiny-fu.html)

Here is a good tutorial for Scheme (the default programming language of the Gimp) This has examples aplenty of script-fu things.
http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/gimp/scheme-tut.html


There are the beginnings of repositories, but most scripts seem to be on user's home sites. A lot of authors are graphics professionals who have learned to fu so there is not a lot of attention that other languages get for secondary support. (CPANs, forges etc.) The Gimp user group http://gug.sunsite.dk/ may be a good place to start. They have a script library.

If nothing else, experiment with the rectangualar selection things and the color things. Use the DB browser to find functions to query and set pixels.

How does one remove the green background from this GIF?

I would like to use GIMP to clean up the above image. But am not having any luck. I'm looking for some kind of function that works like so:

 - select an area
 - for each pixel in the area, query its color
 - if the color is green, then change to white

Is gimp the right tool? If not, what other pkg should I be looking at? Perhaps, OOoDraw?
