[CM] (28 Jul 2003): In addition to the ''official'' scripting language of GIMP (i.e., script-fu, a dialect of [Scheme]), there are also:

   * the Gimp-[Perl] plugin, which seems to be the most popular scripting language on Gimp together with script-fu, there are numerous available scripts written in Perl for GIMP. Its Home-Page is: <<br>> http://www.goof.com/pcg/marc/gimp.html

   * the Gimp-[Python] plugin seems up-to-date but not as widely used (no scripts available in the official GIMP registry [http://registry.gimp.org/index.jsp]). Its Home-Page is: <<br>> http://www.daa.com.au/~james/software/pygimp/

   * .. and yes! the Gimp-[Tcl] used to exist, but the latest version, for Gimp 1.0, seems to be from 1998 :-( <<br>> http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gimp-plugins-unstable/gimptcl/

Note: In the same area, we should keep an eye on the upcoming versions of [tcl-magick], a Tcl interface to the ImageMagick tools/library. For complex image manipulations, it won't have the power of GIMP though (IMHO of course).

[JOB] Here is a small shell script example, which uses the script-fu extension:
