I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I would like
to play around with letting users create graphics on line via a web form and
GIMP. Is there any tutorial out there to get me started?
There's a package for GIMP called net-fu which does just this. This is
what we used as a starting point for our site, FlamingText.com. Bryan
Livingston of CoolText.com used to be the maintainer of this package, but
i'm not sure if he still is.
net-fu contains a bunch of modified script-fu scripts (interactive stuff
removed, output saved to file), and a couple of CGI's. One CGI
dynamically generates forms to get the script parameters (text, colors,
font, fontsize, etc) and another submits "jobs" to the script-fu server
plug-in running inside a GIMP that is started in batch mode.
