Gimp-dog (animation)

A long image long.png in this case 300 px high and 2000 px wide. The script is a moving 'window' 300x500 across that with a spacing set of 15 px. Makes a set of jpegs to load into Gimp.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

count=0
index=0
until [ $count -gt 1500 ]
do
   echo "$count"
   magick  long.png -crop 500x300+$count+0  "%d$index".jpg
   count=$(( $count + 15 ))
   index=$(( $index + 1 ))
done

Interestingly enough, I was just playing around with the  "Offset Layer"  function located in the layers menu, and it appears to offer a GUI "boilerplate" entry screen for  performing very much the same function. And surprisingly the key functionality was activated with fairly simple key combinations.
