CHAPTER 11 PLUG-INS AND SCRIPTING 419 Figure 11-2. The Tree View shows GIMP s menu structure; entering a term in the Search field limits the number of plug-ins shown. The Image Type field tells you which kinds of images the plug-in accepts. Some plug-ins will only work on RGB images, and will be grayed out if the current image is indexed or grayscale. Other plug-ins may work only on indexed, only on grayscale, or only on RGBA (RGB images with an alpha channel). A * is a wildcard: RGB* means that both RGB and RGBA images will work, and * by itself means the plug-in will accept any type of image. The right half of the dialog gives you more information about the plug-in, including its location in the menus, a description of the plug-in, the parameters it takes (these are usually the same as the values you ll be able to change in the plug-in s dialog) in case you ever wanted to use it in another plug-in, and information about who wrote the plug-in. Finding Plug-Ins What if you ve searched the Plug-In Browser and there s nothing there? Might someone else have developed a plug-in to do what you need? You have two options to find such a plug-in: the GIMP s Plug-In Registry, and a web search. The Plug-In Registry GIMP s official Plug-In Registry is located at http://registry.gimp.org. Anyone who develops a plug-in or script for GIMP can register it there. As a user, you can search by language, by GIMP version, or by categories such as Distorts, File, Artistic, and so on. If you aren t sure which category would cover the function you re looking for, just search by name and hope you find something. The Plug-In Registry is theoretically a good resource. But it tends not to be very well maintained: the GIMP versions it lists tend to run behind, and searching doesn t always work well. Try the Plug-In Registry when you re looking for a way to do something in GIMP. But if you don t find anything there, don t despair: try a web search.
