GIMP ASCII Load/Save Plugin

GIMP ASCII Load/Save Plugin package is a set of identical plugins Save 2 ASCII, and ASCII 2 Image, which make saving (loading) images to (from) ASCII text.

GIMP ASCII Load/Save Plugin is very useful if you are using GNU Octave & GIMP together for Image processing. These plugins are distributed under GNU GPL, which you may modify and redistribute.

ASCII 2

Functionally this script tries to create an Image from a text-file that had been processed with the Octave or anything else.

LIMITATIONS: No support for multiple-layers or alpha.

USAGE: Choose a given ASCII file which you want to visualize, and with a knowledge of its column size & row size type those in and select gray/color option, then press ok and wait. You must see your matrix visualized on GIMP.

Save 2 ASCII

Functionally this script tries to save the Image into a text-file for processing with the Octave or anything else.

LIMITATIONS; Cannot save layers.

USAGE: Choose an image, and select if you want it saved as a ASCII file in gray/color mode (1bit-per-pixel(bpp) or 3bpp), and press ok. A new file will be created in your $HOME directory by default, or the directory where you started GIMP from. You can optionally override this by specifying the full path in filename field.
