Does anyone know of any scripts that do this type of thing that I could refer to ?

Thanks....

A Python plug-in can behave like a fully fatured C plug-in with "query" procediures and the like. The docuemntation on that is scarse, as you may have noted. There is soemthing floating on teh web somewhere, and IIRC, python-fu itself uses that to build the automatic interfaces.

There is another way to do it however: just register a python-fu plugin that tkakes no input parameters whatsoever, and inside its main function, build a python GTK+ window, just as if it was a stand alone application. Thi ss is simpler and is what is done by the Python procedure Browser, for example.

As far as I know, you can write a full-fledged GIMP plug-in using the GIMP Python bindings and pygtk. The gimpfu module is just a convenience layer that offers an API similar to Script-Fu. But you can decide to not use it and write your own custom UI.
