Automatic Creation of Banners.

Dear Listers and Gimp Experts,
I would like to use the Script-Fu 'Bovination' to create a whole load of banners. I can do this by using Gimp interactively, but ideally I'd like to be able to do a command line call, passing text as part of the call.
Is this possible? If so, how? I've tried the mail archives but drawn a blank...
And (this is only a 'nice to have'), ideally I'd like to save to a transparent png file without the background. Is that possible (or would it require rewriting the script-fu).
Thanks in anticipation

Richard

google "gimp batch" -> http://adrian.gimp.org/batch/batch.html

This document is quite old but I think it's still valid.

I guess you'd have to change the script, but it should be trivial to do that. Look at it this way: all the logo scripts that we ship are just there as examples of what you can do with Script-Fu. You are not supposed to really use these scripts. After all that would be quite boring. Instead, have a look at the script, figure out how it achieves the effect, then adapt it to your needs, use your creativity and make it MyLogo.scm ;)
