I do not know whether they use scheme or perl, but the folks at www.flamingtext.com certainly do a fine job of batch scripting gimp -- from a cgi script, no less!

You asked for an unstable version of Gimp, you got it ;)

It is most definitely a version problem. Perl is still suffering midly
from the many changes since 1.1.10 in the PDB, the i18n changes and some
internal changes.
The current version in cvs should have all scripts working again.
> More probable: I'm just not doing things correctly.
Not probable with 1.1.11. However, gimp-perl's api has changed subtly
since 1.0, sou many tutorials no longer apply (at leats not without some
minor changes).

That should do:
use Gimp;
Gimp::init;
my $img = new Image (300, 200, RGB);
my $layer = $img->layer_new(30 , 20, RGB_IMAGE,"Background", 100, NORMAL_MODE);
$layer->add_layer(0);
$layer->file_xpm_save(("/tmp/test.xpm")x2);
$img->delete;
[works only from the commandline, of course]
For further questions I'd like to direct you to the gimp-perl list (see
http://gimp.pages.de/ for more info), where many people are who had the
same initial problems ;)

Would work as well interesting idea ;)

Gimp::Fu ?? gimp version 1.1.11
Hi! I want to write a perl script, for translating blackbox window manager themes into fvwm2 themes. To do this, the blackboxrc file has to be parsed, and some images have to be automatically generated from this. Now, I was thinking of using the perl interface of gimp to do this, as I don't know scheme, and because using perl, the script can be run entirely non-interactive from the command line. I read some man pages, a tutorial and the chapter in the gimp manual on Gimp::Fu, but all the scripts produce are error messages (the example scripts in the tutorial also don't work). So I was wondering, this perl interface of gimp, is it an established, stable software, or is it in the early development stages? Also, maybe it could be a version problem: I'm using gimp 1.1.11 More probable: I'm just not doing things correctly. So, I'd very much appreciate it, if somebody could get me started by sending me a skeleton perl-gimp script that non-interactively creates an image, and saves it, maybe someone has this working. Maybe an alternative would be, to make a perl script that generates a scheme script, and then run this manually from within gimp... regards, Jos van Riswick [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTE: please send an additional reply to my personal email address, as I'm not yet subscribed to the mailing list.
