Flower Script - save as .scm file

;; abstract-flower-petalCount.scm -- a script for GIMP
;; Author: Joel Jorgensen
;;
;; Creates a flower by making copies of the selected layer (the number of copies
;; being the number of petals specified minus one because you already have the
;; original), offsetting them by the radius specified, and rotating them by
;; successively larger portions of a circle. Used to do the flower art for
;; our wedding.

;; Mmmm, pi. It's just everywhere in this wedding! ^_^
(define *pi* (* 4 (atan 1.0) ) )

;; Recursive function that is the heart of this script.
;; Creates a copy of the (offset-by-the-radius) original layer
;; Adds that as a new layer to the image.
;; Rotates the layer by an amount dependent upon which iteration this is
;; (Each new copy gets rotated farther around)
;; Increments the iteration
;; If it's not done, it recursively calls itself and passes all of the existing
;; stuff plus the new iteration value
;; (The image height is used to determine the pivot point, so each petal is
;; rotated about the center of the image, which is then the center of the
;; flower when all is said and done. Yay math!)
(define (add-petal img petal iteration rotationAmount numPetals)

(
(newPetal (car (gimp-layer-new-from-drawable petal img)))

;; The function that starts it all and gets everything set up so that add-petal
;; will have the desired effect.
;; Gets the width of the source petal (the current layer)
;; Calculates the height of the image to be created as being twice
;; the height of the current layer plus the radius offset (twice because
;; we're going around a circle, and so we need to add room for the petals
;; on the other sides)
;; Calculates the petalHeight as half the image height
;; Creates a new image to hold the flower
;; Makes a copy of the source petal
;; Sets the iteration to be the first iteration
;; Calculates the amount to increase the rotation (in radians) each iteration by
;; dividing the number of radians in a rotation by the number of iterations
;; that will be performed (the number of petals)
;; Prevents each step from being undo-able (instead you can undo the whole thing
;; as one bulk operation)
;; Adds the copied petal to the new image
;; Moves it to the center top location
;; Calls add-petal, which kicks off the recursion to create and add the rest
;; of the petals
;; Displayes the new image
;; Re-enables undo for individual steps
