[Gimp-developer] Gimp development
priority : urgent. Hi ! i'd like to know if , with Gimp, i can analyse an image in batch mode. For example, i'd like to write a program that could send an existing image to Gimp and ask him what my image contains: colours, text, fonts etc... . Is it possible to do this with Gimp ? Thank you to answer as soon as possible. Sinceraly, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Béatrice Philippe ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2002-03-26 at 0908.26 -0600): image to Gimp and ask him what my image contains: colours, text, fonts etc... . No, Gimp cannot currently do that. It is not the purpose of Gimp to analyse images but to create them. IMHO, GIMP should absolutely permit batch processing of images - and It does, not the best but good for some things, search a bit. :] if you wanted to write a plugin to count colours or do OCR image analysis to read text - then that should be possible. (Dunno how feasible it is to find text and fonts...but that's not the point). As is, GIMP does not include recognition filters. And I do not think she asked about coding it, but doing now, so no is the right global reply for it, no matter if batch capable or not.

Hi, Stephen J Baker [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Analysis such as the original poster asked would be a huge, new area. It would be if the GIMP team undertook to write the plugins to do a wide range of interesting analyses - but I don't think it's such a big deal to make it *possible* to write such plugins and run them in batch mode - then you can let the bazaar do the actual work of writing them *if* there are enough interested people to do it. I don't think there's anything we need to do to make it possible since it should be doable with the current framework. Of course there's always room for improvement especially when it comes to batch mode but gimp-1.3 should already be a step into the right direction.

Could you be a bit more specific about what you want to do? Which operations? Which file formats? Which platforms? Although in the end the GIMP can do all you want, there are many tools that may be better for your purposes. For which file formats, for instance, do you want to know text and fonts? -- branko collin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Size entry widgets..
Howdy. I have been thinking about this thing for a while already.. pretty often I have a situation like this: * I will need to design a flyer or something, and try to fit it on a common papersize so it can be photocopied/color-lasered easily * But the size is too large, so I rather design a cut A4 in three (or US Letter depending where it will be printed) * A4 is 209.9028mm x 297.0389mm * My design would then be 209.9028mm x (297.0389mm / 3) which makes a nice flyer shape * It would be very very handy if I could type that into the New Image entry; Height: [ 297/3 ] millimeters and Gimp would do the division for me and round it to the nearest pixel. * It would allow the very basic math like add, subtract, multiply and divide. This would be very useful for situations like the above. * Yosh said it would be doable, not impossible. And told me to post to the list instead of dreaming of it on IRC :-) Tuomas -- :: :: Tuomas Kuosmanen :: Art Director, Ximian :: :: :: :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: www.ximian.com :: :: ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
