May 19, 2013 - AnimStack 0.61 is a bugfix release, fixing very stupid bug with [render] April 17, 2013 - AnimStack 0.6 is released! See release notes in the comment section.
AnimStack is a collection of tools to simplify creating animations in GIMP. It makes heavy use of Layer Groups, introduced in GIMP 2.8.
A simple example of a problem this script might solve: you have an animation, but you want to put some text on top of it. Normally you would have to add text to every frame manually, but with AnimStack this task is completely automated. AnimStack is perfect for post-processing your GIF animations and adding various simple effects to them.
Does exactly what you expect it to do. Every top-level layer group is merged (careful: only visible layers in each layer group are merged). The layer tree becomes completely flat. Why is this useful? Well, I made it because it is impossible to convert an image to Indexed mode or export it as animated GIF if it contains any layer groups. And layer groups are extremely useful for animated GIFs. It's a conundrum! And this script helps automate the process somewhat.
Get GIMP version (so scripts can be backwards compatible to 2.6)
I just created this stand alone script so that I can make my scripts work in 2.8 and 2.6. This used to be part of another script I had, so I'm not sure whether or not I needed to do script-fu-register, but it's working for me in 2.8.0 without having that.
There is an example usage in the header, but I'm showing it here, too:
; Example usage:
;
; ; Determine if GIMP version is greater than 2.6.X
; (set! gimpVersionHigherThan2pt6ptX (isGimpVersionHigherThan2pt6ptX))
;
Line Nova (GIMP 2.8.0 version) with x and y offset from center added
I just installed GIMP 2.8.0 so I used that script as the baseline, and added my updates to it. I'm also reposting the original one I had posted, in case the new one isn't backwards compatible with 2.6 etc.
A script that will blend a gradient between two paths, so long as each path has the same number of segments.
It registers under Filters->Render->Path Blend.
You have to select two paths (they must be different and have the same number of segments) and one gradient. The order of the paths corresponds to the direction of the gradient (From the first path To the second path.
I had previously created a script-fu to automatically emulate the results of shooting on expired Polaroid 600 instant film that included the undeveloped corners that results from old film stock with not enough developer/fix to completely cover the image area:
At the bottom of that script page I had alluded to a border script I created that more faithfully reproduced the textures embossed on actual polaroid 600 film.
Sometime there is a need to adjust either the size or speed of a gif movie to see everything that is going on. The details on how to do this is located at the following site.
