GIMP PyDev

Re: GIMP PyDev
#12This approach of using the system python, although somewhat mitigated by flatpak, is Bad. What happens when you have to ship GIMP on non-flatpak platforms, like MacOS...? You're either stuck on an ancient version or you must ask the user to install it separately. Neither option is particularly good. It shouldn't be too hard to pack up a python executable instead.
Gimp's use of Flatpack has greatly simplified staying up to date for Linux users.
The Gimp community is not obligated to dedicate resources to working around Apple's business decisions. The absence of Flatpack on MacOS is solely for the sake of Apple's bottom line.
Apple itself certainly has the wherewithal to make Gimp available on its platforms. It simply does not have the interest. As you say, it shouldn't be too hard.

Why?

#14This is a bit off-topic here, but can anyone recommend some good programs / workflows for programmatic image generation / manipulation?
I have some geospatial boundary data that I'd like to extrude to a 3d object, apply textures to the faces, and save images of the object at different perspectives. I have several hundred to do, so it'd be ideal to automate this.
Something like Gimp PyDev or ImageMagick seem like they could sort of work, but the math around creating a 3D extrusion in either of those seems difficult. On the other hand something like Blender seems like kind of overkill maybe.
It might end up being one of those solutions, just curious if anyone has any other ideas.

You might want to look into Processing[1]. Depending on your needs it might feel more intuitive/appropriate for graphics programming, and there seems to be an active community of people who use it.

openSCAD perhaps?
Re: GIMP PyDev
#17I wrote a Gimp python plugin for my spouse; I was rather dismayed at how hard it was to learn what I needed to do, especially when what I wanted to do was relatively simple. But in the end, I got it working, and the second time wouldn't be so hard. I did have python distribution issues between my dev environment on Mac and the production environment on Windows.

If you have several hundred, just start and figure out what tooling you need for your specific needs.
Automation comes later. It comes with experience.

Not sure why you would think blender overkill for this. It seems perfectly suited to that, and can be scripted in python, albeit with mostly the same caveats as GIMP.
