Resource Development

This is about developing plug-ins or filters.

For example you can write plug-ins to customize your workflow, run non-interactive scripts to process images, and so on.

Plug-ins and filters are one kind of resource. A resource is something that you can install in GIMP. Other kinds of resources are brushes, fonts, gradients, palettes, and patterns.
