I don't want to waste your time, anyway, a feedback would be appreciated. :)

I just had a look at it and I can see heaps of potential. I find the alpha channel modification option useful in particular. However, as it is now it is merely a prototype. It definitely needs docs and lots of examples, preferably build in. Just to click and play around a bit to get a feeling for the concept. Most of my first formlas just produced error messages. It did compile clean, but I had to install it maually. make install-bin didn't seem to work.
When are you planning a release?

Hi,

The target 'install-bin' isn't defined... Personnally, I always use the 'install' target. Well, I guess, I'll try to work this out.

AFAIK "install-bin" isn't a standard make target so if I was you I would stick to the standards and ignore the request to add it. Just add a note to the README or INSTALL file explaining how to install the plug-in.

I am currently trying to write a good documentation, but it isn't that easy... As I am not a 2D graphist, I just don't know which examples might be usefull and how the doc should be written.

Well, just something that works, brings strange or useful results and is not too complicated. So that you can see at a glance, what's going on.

I thought about templates for formulas, but I didn't add that to the plugin yet.

Yes. Something like that.

What did you try to do first?

Well, once I saw all those text fields with letters in it I first changed 'g' to 'g=g+1' It produced an error.

IIRC there's a macro for that. But as long as you explain what to do, that should be OK for the development and beta phase. Later I would insert something. I imagine many people using gimp without necessarily having root privileges. And not all of them know (or want/should to know) about those technical details. I think this is the developer's job.

Greetings...

Stephan
