2.5. Plug-ins
- In the GIMP, effects and filters are implemented using plug-ins.
- Plug-ins are separate programs that communicate with the main GIMP program using pipes.
- Most of the plug-ins that are distributed with the GIMP are GPLed, but it is legal and possible to write proprietary plugins.
- Aside from plug-ins written in C, GIMP ships with Scheme and Perl Extensions, that enable writing filters and scripts in these languages.
