Hi, Shlomi Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: If there's an API function that you don't understand you can look at its description in the header files and source code under libgimp/, libgimpbase, etc. grep is your friend. I also suggest you use the API documentation which can be found in the GIMP source tree in the devel-docs folder or online at http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/ Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] Read/write plugin
Hi again Thanks for all the reply's - that was really fast. Anyway, I'll be looking into the bmp plug-in and then I'll properbly come running for help again. Thanks all, Søren ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Read/write plugin
Hi everybody This is my first post to this list, so please be gentle :-) I'm a student of computer science at the University of Copenhagen (DIKU) working mostly with image processing. At DIKU we have a rather old image C library and hence quite a bit images stored in the image format used in this library. I'd like to be able to read and write this kind of images in gimp, but how do I get started? I guess I have to write a plugin but the docs a rather outdated (at least the ones I can find). Any hints on how to get started would be appreciated. Regards, Søren ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Hi Soren, Soren Hauberg wrote: I'd like to be able to read and write this kind of images in gimp, but how do I get started? I did a presentation on writing plug-ins in GUADEC - *very* basic but there is a sample plug-in included. The paper is online at http://dneary.free.fr/gimp I guess I have to write a plugin but the docs a rather outdated (at least the ones I can find). Any hints on how to get started would be appreciated. Your best bet, once you know the basics of a plug-in, is to pick an existing file plug-in that does a simple format. The one I usually reccommend is pnm - in the GIMP sources, this is in plug-ins/common/pnm.c. This is good because it shows the basics of saving and writing an image without having the overhead of using a 3rd party library, or having file format overhead involved.

You didn't say what format the C library uses: perhaps it's one of the many for which conversion programs already exist. If you are running on a *nix system (Unix, Linux, BSD, Solaris ...) the portable bitmap package may already have a conversion program. And then there's always ImageMagick, which also can convert to and from innumerable image formats. If the issue is more one of learning how to write a Gimp plug-in, other messages in this thread will probably be of more help.
