GIMP plus Python = fun

My latest GIMP plug-in:
Palette to Image
http://registry.gimp.org/node/18629

I was looking for a quick way to dump a palette into an image - I had created a GIMP palette of Union inks (for screenprinting) and wanted a quick reference image for third parties. I could not find a built-in function, so this plugin was born: "Palette to Image".

The Python-GIMP bindings are quite good - anything found in Help->Procedure browser can be called from a plug-in. In Python, just take the procedure name, put pdb. on the front, and change dashes to underscores. For example in the browser 'gimp-image-new()' becomes 'pdb.gimp_image_new()'. Easy :)
