Some code is taken out of other plug-ins
|
|
written by other authors.

INSTALLATION
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
To install it, you have to edit the Make-
|
|
file (change install-path). Afterwards run
|
|
'make'. This will compile and install the
|
|
plug-in in the right directory. Once the
|
|
new code is installed, you can run the GIMP
|
|
and enjoy the new functions and effects it
|
|
provides.

COLOR-CYCLING SCRIPT
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
This version of the alienmap plug-in inclu-
|
|
des a script for color cycling animations.
|
|
It is recommended to start the alienmap
|
|
plug-in, to fiddle about with the parame-
|
|
ters until you have found optimal start va-
|
|
lues. Then put these values in the appro-
|
|
priate edit fields in the animation dialog.
|
|
Now you can change the values in the alien-
|
|
map plug-in to find interesting end values.
|
|
After you have inserted these new values in
|
|
the corresponding fields of the animation
|
|
script, you can start the calculation of
|
|
the animation. The script will create a new
|
|
picture with a layer for each animation
|
|
frame. With each new frame the start values
|
|
will gradually turn into the specified end
|
|
values, creating an amazing effect of color
|
|
cycling.

REDUCE CODE SIZE
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
If you find that the plug-in binary is
|
|
too big, you can compress the executables
|
|
with the gzexe program (if it is avaiable
|
|
on your system). To do so, change to the
|
|
plug-in directory of the GIMP...
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/lib/gimp/VERSION/plug-ins
|
|
|
|
...and execute the command...
|
|
|
|
gzexe PLUGIN_NAME
|
|
|
|
...and remember to remove the uncompres-
|
|
sed binary, which has been renamed to
|
|
PLUGIN_NAME~, by running the command:
|
|
|
|
rm PLUGIN_NAME~
|
|
|
|
This will result in a code size of about
|
|
20 kB, which isn't too much IMHO.
