AIUI all that the gimp crew have done is to write an extension to SIOD
in C to give access to the Gimp API. No doubt you could do the same for
Dia, but surely a betterer plan would be not to involve SIOD at all and
simply write a XS module to access the Dia api directly from Perl?

Python beats perl to dia plugin..

2001-05-16 Thread Aaron Trevena


*grump*

There is a python plugin to Gnome Dia allowing you to write scripts for
dia. I don't know if it is like GIMPS scripting or more of a macro type
thing but its a little disapointing there isn't a perl one.

Dia 0.88 has an experiemental pyhton plugin capability. I would be
interested in finding out hpw hard it would be to do the equivilent for
perl - a la The Gimp. Anyone know much about how the GIMP script -fu stuff
works on the inside, or shall I hunt through the gimp dev list which I
have a feeling could be mentally scarring.
