Netpbm2Gimp automatically compiles the unmodified source code of a Netpbm graphics program into a GIMP plug-in. The result looks and functions like any other GIMP plug-in although it takes much less effort to produce than a hand-coded GIMP plug-in.

Netpbm2Gimp 1.1 traps standard output and standard error and displays these in dialog boxes when the plug-in finishes running. This is particularly useful when converting Netpbm "analyzer" programs, which write their analyses directly to the standard output device instead of via the Netpbm pm_message() function. Netpbm2Gimp is a tool that makes developing GUI-friendly plug-ins for the GIMP as simple as writing a command-line Netpbm program. With Netpbm2Gimp, programmers writing graphics filters can focus on filter development and leave the complex GUI interactions to Netpbm2Gimp. The Netpbm2Gimp project also provides a gimp-netpbm2gimp-plugins package that contains hundreds of prebuilt GIMP plug-ins created by converting unmodified Netpbm programs to GIMP plug-ins using Netpbm2Gimp. Netpbm2Gimp is available for download from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=252878 or follow the links from the Netpbm2Gimp home page, http://netpbm2gimp.sourceforge.net/. Some other relevant links are the home pages for the Netpbm toolkit (http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/) and the GIMP drawing program (http://www.gimp.org/).
