(selection-compute-pixels! image pos2color): MediaScheme GIMP Procedure. Set each pixel in the selected area of the image to the result of applying function to the position of the pixel. function must have the form (lambda (col row) expression-to-compute-color).
(string? val): Standard String Predicate. Determine if val is a string.
(string->number str): Standard String Procedure. Given a string that naturally represents a number (e.g., "23" or "3.14", or even "2.11e-5"), return the corresponding number.
(substring str start end): Standard String Procedure. Create a new string by selecting the characters at positions start to end-1 of str. Note that substring, like string-ref uses 0-based indexing.
(string<? str1 str2): Standard String Procedure. Determine whether str1 lexicographically precedes str2. Both str1 and str2 must be strings.
(string<=? str1 str2): Standard String Procedure. Holds if str1 is either the same as str2 or if str1 lexicographically precedes str2. Both str1 and str2 must be strings.
(string=? str1 str2): Standard String Procedure. Holds if str1 is the same as str2. Both str1 and str2 must be strings.
(string>=? str1 str2): Standard String Procedure. Holds if str1 is either the same as str2 or if str1 lexicographically follows str2. Both str1 and str2 must be strings.
(string>? str1 str2): Standard String Procedure. Determine whether str1 lexicographically follows str2. Both str1 and str2 must be strings.
(string ch_0 ch_1 ... ch_n): Standard String Procedure. Create a new string of length n+1, by concatenating all of ch_0 through ch_n.
(string-append str_0 str_1 ... str_n): Standard String Procedure. Create a new string of by joining together str through str_n in order. (Much like append, but for strings, rather than lists.)
(string-ci<? str1 str2): Standard String Procedure. Determine whether str1 lexicographically precedes str2, ignoring case. Both str1 and str2 must be strings.
(string-ci<=? str1 str2): Standard String Procedure. Holds if str1 is either the same as str2 or if str1 lexicographically precedes str2, ignoring case. Both str1 and str2 must be strings.
(string-ci=? str1 str2): Standard String Procedure. Holds if str1 is the same as str2, ignoring case. Both str1 and str2 must be strings.
(string-ci>=? str1 str2): Standard String Procedure. Holds if str1 is either the same as str2 or if str1 lexicographically follows str2, ignoring case. Both str1 and str2 must be strings.
(string-ci>? str1 str2): Standard String Procedure. Determine whether str1 lexicographically follows str2, ignoring case. Both str1 and str2 must be strings.
(string-length str): Standard String Procedure. Determine the number of characters in str.
(string-ref str pos): Standard String Procedure. Extract the character at a specified position from a string. Like list-ref, string-ref presupposes zero-based indexing; the position is specified by the number of characters that precede it in the string. Hence, the initial character in the string is at position 0, the next at position 1, and so on.)
(string->list str): Standard String Procedure. Convert str to a list of characters. The ith element of the list is the ith character in the string.

T

(truncate num): Standard Scheme Procedure. Remove any fractional part from num. That is, round toward zero.
(turtle-clone turtle): MediaScheme Turtle Constructor. Make a clone of turtle (same position, direction, color, brush, etc.).
(turtle-down! turtle): MediaScheme Turtle Procedure. Put turtle's brush down. When the turtle moves forward, it draws with the brush.
(turtle-face! turtle angle): MediaScheme Turtle Procedure. Make turtle face the diretion specified by angle (clockwise from right).
(turtle-forward! turtle distance): MediaScheme Turtle Procedure. Moves turtle forward by the specified distance.
(turtle-new image): MediaScheme Turtle Constructor. Build a new turtle that draws on image.
(turtle-set-brush! turtle brush): MediaScheme Turtle Procedure. Set the brush that turtle draws with.
(turtle-set-color! turtle color): MediaScheme Turtle Procedure. Set the color in which turtle draws.
(turtle-teleport! turtle col row): MediaScheme Turtle Procedure. Move turtle to (col,row). Do not draw along the way.
(turtle-turn! turtle angle): MediaScheme Turtle Procedure. Rotate turtle clockwise by angle degrees.
(turtle-up! turtle): MediaScheme Turtle Procedure. Lifts turtle's brush. When turtle moves forward, it will not draw.
(turtle-world turtle): MediaScheme Turtle Procedure. Determine the world on which turtle resides.

U

(usleep usec): Optional Scheme Procedure. Pause for usec microseconds.

V

(vector val_0 val_1 ... val_n): Standard Vector Procedure. Create a new vector of size n+1 of the form #(val_0 val_1 ... val_n).
(vector? val): Standard Vector Predicate. Determine if val is a vector.
(vector->list vec): Standard Vector Procedure. Convert vec to a list so that the ith value in the list is the same as the ith value in the vector.
(vector-fill! vec val): Standard Vector Procedure. Fill vec with multiple copies of val.
(vector-length vec): Standard Vector Procedure. Determine the size of vec.
(vector-ref vec n): Standard Vector Procedure. Get the nth element of vec. Note that elements are numbered starting at 0.
(vector-set! vec k val): Standard Vector Procedure. Set the kth element of vec to val. (Note that vectors use 0-based indexing.)

W

(when test exp₁ exp₂ ... exp_n): Optional Scheme Keyword. Evaluate test. If it holds, evaluate each expression in turn. Otherwise, do nothing.
(write value): Standard File Procedure. Print the verbose representation of the specified value to standard output.
(write value output-port): Standard File Procedure. Print the verbose representation of the specified value to the specified port.
(write-char ch): Standard I/O Procedure. Write the the given character to the screen.
(write-char ch output-port): Standard File Procedure. Write the the given character to the specified port.

Z

(zero? num): Standard Scheme Procedure. Determine whether the numeric value num is zero.
