gimp-netpbm2gimp-plugins and Netpbm2Gimp

pakin — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 04:01:55 +0100

gimp-netpbm2gimp-plugins is a collection of over 200 GIMP plug-ins produced by running the source code of the Netpbm graphics filters through Netpbm2Gimp, which is described below. (Note: Think "GIMP" where the Netpbm graphics filter documentation says "PBM", "PGM", "PPM", "PNM", or "PAM".) There is a particular emphasis on load/save plug-ins for obscure graphics formats, but a number of miscellaneous and useful image filters and image generators are included as well.

Netpbm2Gimp is a tool for programmers that converts programs written using the easy-to-use Netpbm library into GIMP plug-ins. Netpbm2Gimp reimplements the Netpbm functions in terms of GIMP/GTK+ functions, thereby hiding much of the complexity of plug-in development. With Netpbm2Gimp, plug-in developers needn't worry about registering plug-ins with the GIMP core, displaying dialog boxes to request input from the user, displaying dialog boxes to present the user with status or error information, handling noninteractive usage (for the GIMP scripting interfaces), managing various GIMP data structures (images, layers, drawables, shadow buffers, the tile cache, etc.), updating the progress bar, controlling the undo stack, and performing the various other operations that are needed in the context of a graphical user interface. All of those features are handled automatically by Netpbm2Gimp.

The source code and Linux binaries for both Netpbm2Gimp and gimp-netpbm2gimp-plugins are available from the Netpbm2Gimp home page, http://netpbm2gimp.sourceforge.net/.

Loader for NASA/ESA PDS/EDR images

This plugin loads NASA/ESA PDS/EDR images.

PDS/EDR format is the image format used by NASA Planetary Data System and by ESA Planetary Science Archives. PDS images from various space missions are available at http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/ and http://www.rssd.esa.int/index.php?project=PSA

With the PDS plug-in you can load images from these missions and others:

Mars Express HRSC
2001 Mars Odyssey THEMIS EDR/RDR-QUB (RGB-loader)
Mars Global Surveyor MOC
Mars Pathfinder
Viking Lander

PDS-files usually have the filename-suffix ".img" or ".imq" if compressed. Note, that this suffix is also used for other non-PDS file-formats.

The plug-in will install itself as input filter for files with the following suffixes:
img,imq,qub,pds,edr,bb1,bb2,bb3,bb4,ir1,ir2,ir3,n07,n15,sur,sun,red,grn,blu,sgr,vio
