Gimp itself is written in some variant of C, isn't it? The only "portability" issue here is that you'd need to compile it on all target OS's. No big deal -- that's how GIMP is made anyways. Use MinGW for Windows, and Linux uses the GCC and related tools. Easy enough. Script-Fu only has the "advantage" of not requiring compilation before execution, but it doesn't handle Raw IO or pixel-based image creation IIRC (for good reason, too, proally). Perl probably has similar limitations, to a certain extent. Perl handles text best -- binary data, it's best at simply passing... I believe the term is ad verbatim or something. Try copying a C image format plugin that already exists, maybe (e.g. xbm)? -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
