Gimp scripting, making an animation

Anikom15 · 2010-01-23 17:53:22

Ok, I'm not familiar with Gimp scripting, but I hear it's powerful. This is what I want to do:

1. Take a source image, and have it filled with a solid color, then redraw each pixel in an interlaced fashion, making a new layer for each frame. I calculated that I should have 4608 layers. The layer names are a number starting at 0.

2. output all the layers as pngs as "boot<layer #>.png"

So, can anyone help?

Edit: My source image is 48x96 px

First and foremost, don't waste any time at all with Script-Fu. The Tiny Scheme implementation is very good for what it is, but Python is 1,000,000 times better. What you want to do is a bit complex, but you can do it for sure. I would start by getting familiar with the Python interface. On GIMP 2.7, it's under Filters-->Python-Fu-->Console. The browse button will allow you to search for function names and the main window will print out the generic form of each function.
