gimp script-fu or python-fu user interaction

Is it possible to get user interaction in these scripts? They are for batch processing is my belief so perhaps not, but I would like to make a function whereby I can click it, a selection box of an exact size appears, I then place the selection box and press something, a new file is born. Is this possible? Thank you!

I'm not sure about what you're trying to accomplish, but in script-fu you can create a dialog box to accept user input. Items in the dialog box can be specified and customized in the script-fu-register section at the end of the script. Here is a good example with an explanation of the available keywords. Each of these selections will be an argument to the main function. For example:

Code:

(define (script-fu-parrot inString)

; pop-up a message with the string typed by the user

(gimp-message inString)

)



(script-fu-register

"script-fu-parrot"

"<Toolbox>/Filters/Parrot"

"This procedure echoes a user defined string and exit"

"colucix"

"none"

"May 16, 2010"

""

SF-STRING "Type something" ""

)

Here the value entered as SF-STRING in the dialog box is passed to the function as the first (and only) argument "inString". Is this what you mean?
