this is such a good topic for a tutorial! i needed help to see this stuff at first as well. i don't have time to write the tutorial, but i got some screenshots for it when i have the time.
i have been working with gimp-python lately, so i chose that console for my tutorial. the script fu console works the same way, so if you haven't installed the python module in your gimp, you can use that one that comes with gimp. Xtns -->Python Fu -->Console will bring up this dialog: http://carol.gimp.org/mygimp/tutorials/dbbrowser/gimp_pdb-browser.png i needed the gradient list for my last plug-in. after you find the call you need and hit the okay button, it is back to that original dialog: http://carol.gimp.org/mygimp/tutorials/dbbrowser/gimp_python-console2.png see, it gets cooler now. it is the same dialog, yet in the little text box at the bottom is the call you queried about only in the way that python understands it. also, it shows what the return is. this thing does most of the work for you ... so, for the best part, you need to remove the equal sign and everything to the left of it (this will leave pdb.gimp_gradients_get_list() in the text box. hit enter and see this(!!): http://carol.gimp.org/mygimp/tutorials/dbbrowser/gimp_python-console3.png whee! carol O n 2002-11-26 at 2328.53 -0800, Robin Rowe typed this: > Carol, > > > well, i use it. honest.
