Thanks for the information.

I want to write a c++ or java program that would allow me to manipulate images the way gimp does.  For 
example, my program could create a puzzle of an image without having the complete gimp program installed.  Is 
that possible?

I noticed that the python web page you referenced above mentioned libgimp.    Will that library supply the 
functionality I'm looking for?
