[Gegl-developer] Introduction

[Martin Nordholts]

Welcome reasamp!

The first thing you should do is to read up on the type system and object 
oriented framework used in GEGL, GIMP and lots and lots of other 
applications, namely <a 
href="http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gobject/index.html">GObject</a>.

I am myself rather new to this library, and at a first GObject can be a bit 
hard to grasp, because of the rather verbose syntax, but if you already are 
familiar with OO from C++ for intsance, you should be able to pick up on 
this rather quickly. While reading about GObject, refer to the GEGL source 
to see how the library is used "for real".

>Hello everyone,
>I just joined the group, and would like to be able to contribute somewhere.
>A few years back I was working on how various types of data yield

>vector-based shapes could increase the flexibility of an image. With 
>limited
>knowledge in image processing techniques, however, I couldn't continue much

>When I saw the home page of GEGL, it said that someone here might be

>to teach me the basics to help me start here. Well, that would be great if
>someone could refer me to some intro materials. I am mostly interested in
>the core manipulating tools this library makes available, so if some of 
>them
>needs to be completed/refabricated I am up for them, provided someone helps
>me start out.

>How much do I already know? Well, I am a competitor in various programming
>competitions, so I know the basics algorithms of dynamic programming, flow
>(how some of its applications relate to images), basic graph theory and 
>all.
>
>Is there anyone to help me get started? Once I know the basics of the 
>trade,
>I am sure I can find something I want to contribute.
