Have you considered ImageMagik? I'm not well-qualified at either
scripting Gimp nor anything but simplest tasks in ImageMagik (just lurk
on the IM-list) but the tasks you describe *might* be possible in it
and possibly somewhat quicker?
Basically its working like I want - I can create new images, create a selection based on evolved points using gimp_free_select and fill the selection in the right color and opacity. And in the end I get something that looks like Roger Alsings Mona Lisa. ( http://sanguis-lunae.de/Uni/ml5-10000.bmp is what I get after 10000 generations)
btw: the image link you gave and the upper level of your URL both fail
to load. Are they working?
