It's time to learn Scheme
Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:00:00 GMT
Have you ever peeked into one of those bazillion .el files in your Emacs installation's lisp folder and wondered what it meant? Or have you ever looked at a GIMP script .scm file and scratched your head over all the parentheses? Lisp is one of the oldest programming languages still in common use, and Scheme is a streamlined dialect of Lisp. Many universities use Scheme as the language to introduce students to the Computer Science curriculum, and some of their teaching methods are based on the assumption that Scheme is the one language they can count on their students knowing. Even so, many active programmers and system administrators are unfamiliar with Scheme. This article will get you on your way to adding this tool to your developer or sysadmin toolkit.

gimp-remote-2.0

GIMP-REMOTE(1)							 GIMP Manual Pages						    GIMP-REMOTE(1)

NAME

       gimp-remote - tells a running GIMP to open a (local or remote) image file.

SYNOPSIS

       gimp-remote [-h] [--help] [-v] [--version] [--display display] [-e] [--existing] [-q] [--query] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       gimp-remote  is a small utility that tells a running GIMP to open one or more (local or remote) image files.  It does so by searching for a
       GIMP toolbox on the active display.  If it can find a GIMP toolbox, a synthetic drop event is created which  makes  GIMP  think	the  files
       would have been dropped onto the toolbox. More than one filename or URL can be specified on the commandline.

       If  no  GIMP  window is found, gimp-remote will start a new GIMP instance and ask it to load the specified images. If no filename or URL is
       given, gimp-remote will start a new GIMP. This behaviour can be altered using the command-line options described below.

OPTIONS

       gimp-remote accepts the following options:

       -h, --help
	       Display a list of all commandline options.

       -v, --version
	       Output the version info.

       --display display
	       Use the designated X display.

       -e, --existing
	       If no running GIMP instance is found, don't start a new one but exit.

       -q, --query
	       Check if GIMP is running and exit. A status code of 0 indicates that a GIMP toolbox window has been found on this display.

EXAMPLES

       gimp-remote http://www.gimp.org/images/wilber_the_gimp.png
	      Loads the image from the GIMP website into a running GIMP or starts a new one.

       gimp-remote wilber.xcf wilma.xcf
	      Loads the local files wilber.xcf and wilma.xcf into a running GIMP or starts a new one.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
