This example demonstrates a GIMP script that automatically prepares an image for captioning by adding a white, semi-transparent band across the lower third of the canvas. It then places placeholder text reading “lorem ipsum” in black at the bottom of that band. The script uses the GIMP Script-Fu API, including functions like `gimp-image-width`, `gimp-layer-new`, `gimp-drawable-fill`, `gimp-layer-translate`, and `gimp-text-fontname`, to create and position the overlay and text. The rendering approach is purely procedural, operating on the active image and layer without external data.
