<title>Python console</title>
<p>The image viewer has a plugin system which uses the Python scripting
language. If you activate the <em>Python console</em>, you can gain direct
access to a Python interpreter from inside the image viewer, which you can
then use to write scripts or programmatically manipulate images, for example.</p>
