Script-fu Scripts

Note: All of these scripts have either been included in current versions of GIMP, or have been replaced with built in features. (gimp 1.0.x and 1.2.x should include most if not all of these.). The example images might be useful though. Nov 29 2001

shagadelic.scm

shagadelic.scm. Creates wacky, vaguely 60's-ish tileable patterns. Groovy, baby!. Check out this demo pic.

swap-colors.scm

swap-colors.scm. Implements the PS style keybindings to swap the foreground and background colors. Also allows for a keybinding to set the foreground/background back to the defaults of black and white. With the keybindings included in the script, X swaps the colors, and D sets the defualt colors.

set-brush.scm

set-brush.scm. A simple script that add's menu items (and therefore, keybindings) allowing you to set the brush type from the keyboard. With the keybindings mentioned in the script 1-9 is the nine circle brushes, while ctrl[1-9] is the fuzzy circle brushes.

Chip Away

chip-away.scm. A nice logo script to generate text with kind of a worn, weathered effect. Takes a pattern to fill the text with and bumpmaps it with a generated bumpmap to produce the effect. Some examples include the default settings, a chipped in look, and a different pattern. There is an option to generate an image without a background too.

Plasma-tile

plasma-tile.scm. Plasma's a nice effect but it doesnt really tile too well without handtweaking or running through Tiler (which produces some artifacts). This scripts basicaly runs tileable solid noise in each color channel to generate a seemless tiling plasma effect. With tubulent turned on, it can also produce something akin to solid plasma. Take a look at plasma-tile-demo-1.jpg for an example. Or even better, the tiled version

Layer-copy

layer-copy.scm This is designed make it a little easier to copy a layer from one image to another. For the moment, this script registers it's self under (image)/Edit/Layer Copy. To use, just select (image)/Edit/Layer Copy in the image you want to copy a layer into. It will show a dialog asking which layer you copy. It should add the layer directly aboce the current active layer in the destination layer. The name is a little misleading, but i'll fix that later.

Test

test.scm A script that calls all the logo and pattern scripts. The idea being that if you make changes to gimp core, and you can run this script afterwards, you at least didnt break everything.

Lava

Lava.scm A script designed to fill the current drawable or selection with something vaguely resembling lava or perhaps billowing flames. See lava_example.jpg for a better idea. Can be used with any gradient, often resulting in other cool effects

This effect was based on an idea by Sven Riedel.

Circuit

circuit.scm A script designed to fill the current image with something that looks sort of like an old circuit board. Works best on irregular shaped selectios. See circuit_exmaple.jpg for an example

Xach-Effect

xach-effect.scm A script to take the current selection and make it look like it is slighlty translucnet and raised up form the rest of the image. Er, kind of hard to describe..take a look at xach_effect_example.jpg

This effect based on an idea by Xach Beane, hence the name.

Predator

predator.scm Designed to make the current image or selction look a bit like the view seen through the predators vision in the movies. Kind of a computer-ish thermogram. Take a look at predator_example.jpg and see if you can figure out which linux porter/desktop developer and window manager developer the predator has his sites on.

Glow

glow.scm Produces a simple "glow" effect on the outside of the current selection. Take a look at glow_example.jpg to get a better idea.

Selection To brush

select-to-brush.scm Takes the current selection and saves it as a brush and makes it the currently selected brush. For some ideas of what this could be useful for, take a look at sel ect-to-brush_example.jpg.

Selection to Image

select-to-image.scm Takes the current selection and opens it up in a new image.

Copy Visible

copy-visible.scm Copies all the visible stuff within the current selection to the edit buffer. Ie, just like regular copy, except it will copy stuff from all the visible layers. Cuts what you see, not just the active layer. Handy I hope.

Based heavily on a script by Sven Neuman.
