PyTileLayers

PyTileLayers is a gimp script written in python that tiles the layers of an image and adds a background.

I've written it for character sprite creation in pixel art: I usually work on a layered image as the one shown in the gif, one layer for each frame and I needed something to create the usual image with all of the poses side by side.

Known Bugs

The background fill does not work on indexed or grayscale images, even when using a color that is available in the palette. A workaround is to change the image to RGB, apply the script, and then undo the mode change.
