writing plug-ins

Hi all,
I'm a student and as a university project I have to write a document about writing plug-ins in gimp (and create a plug-in as well). I already managed to discover some pieces of information scattered through the net, but it seems to me it's not enough to write a complete document.
I've read Kevin Turner's document and found it quite interesting. I've also downloaded gimp-plugin-template-1.3.3 and that was very helpful too (though a little outdated).
In any case, I didn't found a document explaining all I'd like to know (that's why I'm trying to write one, maybe ;)) and I was hoping you could point me to something I may have missed.

BTW, I noticed the template uses gimp_image_menu_new() which is now deprecated. What should I use instead? A ComboBox maybe? (I'll have to wait until 2.2 if that's the case, right?)

Oh, I almost forgot: the document I'm writing is in italian. I'd be glad to share it if you think it may be useful to the GIMP community (AND if my professor agrees) but I don't think I'll have the time for an english translation. ;)

Bye,
Alessandro Morandi

If you can read French, I can send you my LinuxMag France articles. Just let me know.

Unluckily I can't read french. Could you point me to some of the sources you used for your articles?

I'll ask my professor for the open licence, I hope he'll agree ;)

Thanks, bye

Hi,

Quoting Simbul :

It looks like you have them already - I relied heavily on Kevin Turner's article. I did a paper and presentation for GUADEC last year on the subject which is online here: http://dneary.free.fr/guadec-paper/

http://developer.gimp.org contains the full API docs for libgimp.

Finally, I learned a lot from the existing plug-ins. If you were to pick one of each main type (file plug-in, image plug-in and informational plug-in), I would reccommend pnm, edge and colorcube respectively.

Cheers, Dave.

We will try to release an updated gimp-plugin-template for 2.2. If you are developing for 2.2, you want to use gimp_image_combo_box_new() instead.
