Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP datadriven graphics

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong primus ca>]

Anything you can copy to the clipboard from say, an Excel Lookup Table, can 
be pasted into a new GIMP image. A GIMP script can take what's on the 
clipboard, format it and output it. To do it seamlessly I guess requires a 
higher order script to invoke the Excel script and then the GIMP script. 
Powershell may be the answer.

Subject: [Gimp-user] GIMP datadriven graphics

Hi,
is there any willing member to hlep me started with data driven graphics? I 
used
to do graphics with Photoshop and variables.

I need to do some graphics on the go, during livestream on YouTube. I 
started to
use Powershell as a main control interface. Recently I found out that I 
could
script to have dynamic images during the stream.

I do most ice hockey broadcasting with no budget, mainly becouse my sons 
play
it. I would like to have some graphics when a goal is scored or penalty is
assesed. I would want to have goal scorer or penalty receiver.

Prior the game I can enter roster and when event occours I would enter only
jersey number and GIMP would make me a graphic based on jersey number and 
data
from roster.

Something similar is now done with Photoshop, but I have to do it manualy - 
only
data is taken from database (CSV file).

If somebody would want to help I would be really happy. I do not need the 
whole
script, just something to start. I would figure out the rest eventualy.

Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Grega
