Script request

GIMP Version: 2.10.28
Operating System: Linux
GIMP Experience: Experienced User

Does anyone know of a script which could generate layers with sequential numbers -- like page numbers -- perhaps with the options to select sequence quantity, font selection, font size and color? Maybe even location -- i.e bottom or top right/bottom or top left?

Thanks!

Not Gimp Maybe look at ImageMagick. IM has the ability to join several tiff files into a single multi-page tif that Gimp can open.

The bare bones, it boils down to how many command line variables you want to add, so for font size and position edit the script. So for this

Code: Select all

sh pages.sh 400 800 "I love Gimp" 6

You get 6 annotated pages in one file

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# use sh pages.sh width height "caption in quotes"  number of pages
# make the pages and number them 
for i in $(seq 1 1 $4)
do
 convert -size $1x$2 xc: $i.tif
 mogrify  -gravity South -pointsize 40 -annotate +5+5 "$3"  $i.tif
 mogrify  -gravity SouthEast -pointsize 40 -annotate +30+5 "$i"  $i.tif
 done

# make multi-page tif
convert *.tif multi.tif

# Delete the redundant files
for i in $(seq 1 1 $4)
do
rm $i.tif
done

Thanks, MareroQ, that works great.

I ran it for 250 numbers and then batch saved each layer as a separate image.

Thanks again!
