- Background opacity — coefficient of background transparency; values are from 0 (fully transparent) to 100 (no transparency),
- Filename — file name for automatic saving of resulting image (empty filename — no saving),
- Size flag — flag for appending image size to the filename in the form filename-WxH.ext, where W is a width and H is a height.
This is the call of plugin in non-interactive mode:
# gimp -i -b "(python-fu-text-to-image RUN-NONINTERACTIVE \"Sample text\" \"Arial\" 100 '(0 0 0) '(255 255 255) 100 \"filename.png\" 1) (gimp-quit 0)"
