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

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.

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 I guess I have to write a plugin but the docs a rather outdated (at 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).

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.

For example, you can find the Windows BMP Read/Write plugin under "plug-ins/bmp" (starting from the GIMP distribution or CVS tree). BMP is a relatively simple format and the code of its plug-in should be easy to understand. Other formats' read/write plug-ins can be found under "plug-ins/common" and somewhere under "plug-ins". 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. Note that I haven't done too much GIMP developments, and there are other people here who can give you more expert advice. This advice is just off the top of my head.
