external API

Dear Developers,

i intend to use some gimp functionality like extract basic informations from pictures( size, resolution,..) or format converations from an other program. Is there something like an external API ?

Could somebody of you give me hints where to quote ?
best regards
Johannes

Sure. GIMP maintains a database of procedures. Some are provided by the GIMP core, others are added by plug-ins and scripts. All these procedures can be accessed from plug-ins and scripts. There are bindings available for lots of languages including but not limited to C, Perl, Python and Scheme. A good start is to have a look at the Procedure Browser located in the Xtns menu and the GIMP reference manuals which are online at http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/.
