You can certainly use either language to save yourself a lot of manual steps. If you want other people to use the script then Script-Fu will give you the widest possible audience for it as Script-Fu scripts can be used with every GIMP install. If you are creating a script for your own use, you can use either language. If you are mainly used to writing programs in a procedural language you might want to use Script-Fu/Scheme. GIMP also comes with about 100 Script-Fu scripts that you can examine as you learn how to write your own Script-Fu script(s). If you go the Script-Fu route, I would also suggest you get a copy of the R5RS (or the two main parts of the R6RS) Scheme standard documents and you format the Scheme code like you would other programming languages. This means no putting all closing ) on one line. It makes it easier to see the syntax and structure of Scheme while you are learning. On the other hand, if you want to create a script to save you some work with a language that would be more generally useful for other things outside of GIMP, you would be better off with Python. It is mainly an object oriented programming language but you can still use it for procedural programming. Python scripts for GIMP may make some use of OOP features and there may not be as many scripts with GIMP for you to look at. You can always get help on the #gimp-user IRC channel or this mailing list whichever choice you make. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

One option is to ask the author to update the script. The other is to fix it yourself. Scripts no longer include the menu path in the register block and it has been this way for quite some time. The register block is now used to state the label for the menu entry and a menu_register block has the path that indicates where the menu entry is to appear. Look at the other Script-Fu scripts which ship with GIMP to see how to set up the register blocks correctly. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The GIMP installer should (allow you to) set the file extensions for you. If it hasn't done this, you can right click an image, select "Open With", select the program that will be used to open the file (in this case GIMP), then click the checkbox to say "always use this program". All image files with extensions matching the type of the image you selected will appear with the GIMP icon. Repeat the above for other image types you want to default to being opened with GIMP. The above is based on what I used to do in Windows XP.

Ignoring the scaling factor in the image, all lines are 0.8 points with the exception of the outside border which has a width of 1.92 points. You can see the thicker border when the image is viewed with the ghostscript viewer program, gv. If the conversion from eps to something else doesn't produce an image with slightly thicker outside borders than the rest of the horizontal and vertical lines, you aren't getting a true view of the image. Any discrepancy could be due to a number of factor. Bugs in the code, for a start, or the size of the output image may be insufficient to allow you to see the different line widths. What might also be affecting image quality when using convert are options such as anti-aliasing. I just generated a 400x400 pixel image and the quality of the lines was not what I was expecting.

The image produced by GIMP which is supposedly the "good" version of the image is larger than the other samples you show. If you can provide a link to the original eps file it would be possible to verify the expected look of the image using ghostscript. I have a strong suspicion that the "good" image you obtained using GIMP may not be an accurate representation of the original source file.

If you are using a portable version of GIMP, the files needed to support Python scripts are probably not available to you. The -180 to 180 for hue is the range of the sliders in the GUI and is listed as the range in the Procedure Browser text in GIMP 2.6.7 (and later).

Yes, it is a must unless you are using GIMP 2.4 or earlier. The TinyScheme component of GIMP more closely follows the Scheme standard. The standard requires variables in a lot block to have an initial value, and all variables must be declared before first use. You should take a look at the Script-Fu migration guide at http://www.gimp.org/docs/script-fu-update.html and my notes at http://www.ve3syb.ca/wiki/doku.php?id=software:sf:updating-scripts (which cover most of the same points). > I think that this line is not returning the number of layers as we're > expecting.

You must provide an initial value when defining a variable in a let block. The simple solution is to add a 0 or -1 to the declarations for numeric variables and "" string variables.

You would make your corrections the same way you added text to fill out the form. the only difference would be you need to clear the area containing incorrect text before you add the corrected text.

The procedure database indicates that a FLOAT (ie. a numerical value) is expected for argument 3 of gimp-image-pick-color. Your problem is due to invalid use of the "=" operator in the two if statements shown above. Your code has "(if (= inSmooth TRUE) 1 0)" where in Smooth is a boolean value provided by the SF-TOGGLE. The "=" operator is for use when comparing numbers, not booleans. Since inSmooth is a boolean, change your if statement to read (if inSmooth 1 0) -- Cheers!

The proper method for registering scripts has changed slightly in the 2.4 version of GIMP. The manual you are looking at might be a bit out of date. Since you said you made the files executable I think you are mixing up differences between Script-Fu scripts and other scripts (and plug-ins) written in other languages.

If the svg file loader in GIMP is rasterizing the SVG at one size and then resizing the raster image to the desired size during the import, a bug or enhancement request should be filed against the svg loader.

rob wrote: > Whats the best way to learn script-fu? [snip] > if anyone can recomend something specific > that they thought was the best way to get started with batch image > processing with gimp. You should become familiar with the Scheme language. To do that, get a copy of the R5RS (http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/r5rs.pdf) and read it. Just be aware that not everything mentioned in the R5RS is implemented in the Scheme interpreter of Script-Fu. Items like define-syntax, or bignums are examples of items not currently supported. Also, look at the scripts which are shipped with GIMP. I think one of the problems people have when learning Scheme is that a lot of scripts are shown with many closing ) symbols at the end of a line. While you are getting comfortable with Scheme I would suggest you don't skimp on the whitespace. Put the closing parentheses on separate lines. If may violate some Scheme based coding style guides but makes it much easier to see the syntax of the language. There are tutorials on the GIMP web site at http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ under "Script Authoring". I also have some notes about Script-Fu in the wiki section of my web site at http://www.ve3syb.ca/wiki/doku.php?id=software:sf:start Be careful of any Script-Fu tutorial which was written before the release of the 2.4 version of GIMP. It may contain information that is out-of-date or even wrong as GIMP has moved to a different Scheme interpreter. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"

It appears on the surface to be based on some version of GIMP but they seem to have made some substantial changes behind the scenes. It is only for the Mac, has a number of UI tweaks (ie. icon for active tool larger than the other tool icons), uses something called Core Image (their version of a GEGL type library), makes use of a GPU, and they have done a nice job on the manual.

If you are installing a Windows version just enter a different directory from the default choice when asked for the install directory. If you are in a Linux environment, you *might* be able to installed a pre-compiled package to a different directory if your package management system supports relocation of packages (ie. the --relocate option for RPM based package management).

Of course GIMP needs to look in the ~/.gimp-2.4/scripts directory. GIMP ships with a number of scripts. There needs to be a separate directory were users can put their own scripts or ones written by others. All scripts are read in to a single namespace. If two scripts have conflicting definitions for items defined outside of a function (ie. global to the file), there will be problems running the functions from one of those files. I found a cross-processing.scm script listed in the GIMP plug-in registry. It was written for GIMP 2.0 and needs some minor updates before it can be used properly with a 2.4 version of GIMP.

By "outer tool" I assume you are referring to the menu item. The difference between the menu item and using the function from a script is the script callable version allows you to specify whether it should use adjust based on shadow, mid-tones, or hightlights. The menu item doesn't give you a choice. It just uses whatever it has as its default settings. You could easily modify the Save All script to do what you want. The main change involves replacing the call to gimp-file-save with a call to gimp-color-balance with the parameters you want to use. You also want to change the name of the script from script-fu-save-all-images to something more appropriate, and edit the register block to put the script under /Colors/Auto. There are several scripts (ie. chrome-it.scm) which are shipped with GIMP that make a call to gimp-color-balance if you are unsure about the parameters you need to pass. -- Cheers!

Re: [Gimp-user] logo script forces crop
Helen wrote: > Then I run the logo basic 1 script on the text, and the entire photo is > cropped so that only the text remains. This is a problem with the design of many (or all?) of the Logo scripts that also offer an "Alpha to Logo" version. Most of the work is done in an "apply effect" routine. When called as a Logo script, an image is created at a default size, the effect routine is called, and the effect routine resizes the image to the needed size. When a script is run as an Alpha to Logo script, the image resize should not be done. There are 17 scripts that (may) have this problem. This problem should be added to Bugzilla as a low priority task. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"

For future reference, if you are using a script in batch mode only, you don't need the script-fu-register block. The register block is only needed if you want to run your scripts by selecting it from a menu within GIMP. Also, the argument list expected by your script, as defined above, does not match the argument list you have listed in the register block. Again, not important when running the script from batch mode but it could cause you problems in the future when writing scripts to be run from a menu selection within GIMP. -- Cheers!

The most obvious problem is that you defined it as needing three parameters and only pass it one on the command line.

In GIMP 2.2 functions in one file were defined in a way that made them available to be called by scripts in other files. While this can be a useful feature at times it can also cause problems. There were two scripts that defined point-list->double-array which took one argument. The routines were different and as a result, one of the two scripts appeared to be broken as it wound up calling the wrong version of the function. As of GIMP 2.4, the scripts which ship as part of the Script-Fu plug-in define the functions they need locally (ie. other scripts can't access them). This avoids the problems of adding a new script and finding out that some other previously working script no longer works. -- Cheers!

I am asking > because I never know if I should copy a plug-in (e.g. from the > registry.gimp.org - site) in to the plug-in or the script folder. In answer to the main point of the Bettina's message, it is easy to know what you need to do with items you get from the plug-in registry, and in which directory to put the files so you will be able to use them in GIMP. If the file ends in .scm, it is a Script-Fu script and it belongs in the scripts directory. If the file ends in .c, it is a C-coded source file which needs to be compiled (typically using gimptool if its a single file). The compiled file is an executable that will go in the plug-ins directory. Everything else will go in to the plug-ins directory. David Gowers wrote: > A plugin is an executable - ie. it's a program you can run, like you > can run Inkscape or GIMP. > A script is a set of text instructions which are run by a script > interpreter (script-fu). For the most part, what David wrote is true. To muddy the waters a bit, when it comes to GIMP, text instructions in a file written using the Ruby, Perl, or Python languages, which makes them technically scripts, are plug-ins when it comes to GIMP and need to be put in the plug-ins directory. They should also be marked executable (when running GIMP under Linux). -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"

The register call is the currently the only way to set default values. If you wanted to temporarily change the defaults for a script you would have to call the register function with the values you want to set as the default. Script Y could change the defaults for script X. Script X could change the defaults for the next time it was invoked. What you can't do at the moment is start up script X and have it set the defaults based on conditions existing at the time you invoked the script. -- Cheers!

Re: [Gimp-user] Does GIMP support GEOTIFF files?
Maverick Merritt wrote: > Does the GIMP support GEOTIFF files? If not, are there any plans to do so? The answer to both questions is no. It is unlikely that the file format would be supported in GIMP unless there is a publically available document which describes the file format. If there is such a document, it just takes an interested party to create a plug-in for the format. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"

Make sure you downloaded one of the executable installer packages and not the source code of ImageMagick. I noticed that it might be a bit confusing as to which package to get since there are five different versions available on the download page located at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows. The fifth version offered is only useful if you have a 64-bit computer. If you don't have that, you need to use one of the first four links. If you are still having problems, it might help to know which installer package you are trying to use, which version of Windows you are using, and some more details of what happens when you try to run the installer including the contents of any error messages you may be seeing. That is about all I can suggest for now. I don't use ImageMagick under Windows so I haven't tried installing any of the Windows installer packages. -- Cheers!

Adding a watermark could easily be done in GIMP. If you have a lot of images which you need to watermark I would suggest you might be better off using the composite program found in the ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/) suite of tools. Since you mentioned Photoshop and Paintshop Pro I will assume you are running a Windows OS. The downloads links for ImageMagic indicate that a Binary version of the ImageMagick tools is available for Windows. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"

If you have found some things that need changing in the source and know how to fix them, you should open a bug report (if there is no open bug covering the issue), and attach a patch to the report which fixes the code. If you do this, it is more likely your changes will be incorporated in to the GIMP source tree. You would no longer have to keep applying the changes with each new release. -- Cheers!

I don't know much about Powerpoint but my suspicion is that it is a vector based package whereas GIMP is bitmap based. Images and text will look fine in Powerpoint regardless of zoom factor. Once you export data from Powerpoint to a png, or jpg, you now have a bitmap representation of the original. How good that looks will depend on the size and resolution of the image you created at the time you exported from Powerpoint. > I attached my file but I found the mail cannnot be sent. When sending messages to a mailing list it is always best to provide a URL where the file can be downloaded rather than attaching it to the message. Attaching files to a message being sent to a list is likely to get the message flagged as possibly containing a virus. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"

The Script-Fu plug-in which comes with the 2.2 versions of GIMP can't handle UTF-8 coded characters. If you need to do something with UTF-8 coded characters you will need to use a current development version of GIMP or use the Tiny-Fu plug-in. -- Cheers!

The options of "Save EXIF data" and "Save thumbnail" which you can set in the file save dialog can not be set passed to the jpeg file save when using a script.

There appears to be a bug in the output from the 2.2 version of GIMP. Using the current development version of GIMP I opened two files and asked for the image list. The result was (2 #( 2 1 )) The easy way to get the image ID when you need it as an argument for a command you want to run from the console mode is to look at the title bar of the image windows. Regardless of the file name, the filename (or the word 'Untitled' if it is a new image) shown in the title bar has text of the form "-x.y" at the end. The x part is the number that would be used as the image ID for that image. > So I try another command; > => (gimp-image-height image) > ERROR: unbound variable (errobj image) > You need to use the actual image ID (ie. number) in the call or define image and set it to the desired number before you attempt to use it in a call to a GIMP function. -- Cheers!
