Hi!
Here is a list of my thoughts on how to set up gimp to do image manipulation
on the web. Could anyone with some experience please comment!
1. We are going to need a server. I guess I start perl-server like this:
gimp -i -b '(extension-perl-server 0 0 0)'&
2. Now I write client functions for common tasks and put them into plugins
directory. This way, I can just use those plugins from the web client.
3. I configure the web clients to connect to the server (found this at
http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-developer/2002-September/007450.htm
l):
1.setenv GIMP_HOST passw...@1.2.3.4 on server box A(where the gimp,
perl,gtk
etc are installed);
2.start gimp perl server on server box A;
3.setenv GIMP_HOST passw...@1.2.3.4 on client box B;
4.start the script on client box B;
4. So... Now I need to connect to the Gimp server and tell it to warp my
image, or whatever it is.
So I do something like this:
use Gimp qw/:auto/;
Gimp::on_net(sub {plugin_warp_image( name => 'my-image', shape =>
'trapezoid') };
exit main();
5. OK, so I am in a web application.
Exit main() does not sound right...
Furthermore, I am going to need to retrieve the image as binary data, ask
the server to create a new image, then get it back. What does my client
look like?
6. Is there anything else I should be aware of?
Thanks so much for the help!
I apologize for newbiness, but am hoping that what comes out of this thread
might serve the next guy!
Cheers,
Kate
