Re: script-fu prog for tutorial

[Mike Markowski]

Hi all,

One more quick note on the script-fu function that follows
a tutorial (more info at URL below).  I have been urged to
link to the file from a web page rather than just point to the
file itself.  So, please use

http://udel.edu/~mm/gimp/

to get to my rather measly gimp page...

Thanks!
Mike

great! I'm going to have to have a look at that! I've been trying to write 
a Scheme script-fu, but my result works - however I cant use it as a menu
ption, or from a command line (I really want to do shell batch processing)

well, i'll certainly be having a look! You are right about the current
level of script-fu documentation...and getting the current scipt-fu's
and sets under your command can be quite painful :-|

script-fu prog for tutorial

[Mike Markowski]

Hi all,

I've just finished writing a Scheme script-fu program that mostly
follows along with the tutorial at

http://www.gimp.org/tut-sum1.html

I discovered that script-fu is easy, but finding documentation isn't.
To that end, I've tried to thoroughly comment my program at

http://udel.edu/~mm/gimp/framed-glass-text.scm

I've tried to put in not only comments describing the Scheme calls,
but comments mentioning things where I got stuck, etc.  Slightly
unrelated to the code, but hopefully will save a few headaches out
there.  I'd appreciate feedback on how to improve it, too, if you
have any ideas.  Anyway, I thought that for folks who have gone
through the tutorial manually, they could then follow up on it
with this program.  It's probably not worth looking at the program
before doing the tutorial, though.  You really need to get familiar
with it, and making mistakes trying to do it is the best way.

Also, for those not interested in script-fu (but who probably aren't
reading this now, anyway!), the program might be interesting enough to 
use as is.

Thanks!
Mike
