gimp_drawable_get_buffer ()

GeglBuffer *
gimp_drawable_get_buffer (gint32 drawable_ID);

Returns a GeglBuffer of a specified drawable. The buffer can be used like any other GEGL buffer. Its data will we synced back with the core drawable when the buffer gets destroyed, or when gegl_buffer_flush() is called.

Since: 2.10

gimp_drawable_get_shadow_buffer ()

GeglBuffer *
gimp_drawable_get_shadow_buffer (gint32 drawable_ID);

Returns a GeglBuffer of a specified drawable's shadow tiles. The buffer can be used like any other GEGL buffer. Its data will we synced back with the core drawable's shadow tiles when the buffer gets destroyed, or when gegl_buffer_flush() is called.

Since: 2.10

gimp_drawable_get_format ()

const Babl *
gimp_drawable_get_format (gint32 drawable_ID);

Returns the Babl format of the drawable.

Returns the Babl thumbnail format of the drawable.

Since: 2.10.14

gimp_drawable_get ()

GimpDrawable *
gimp_drawable_get (gint32 drawable_ID);

This function creates a GimpDrawable structure for the core drawable identified by drawable_ID . The returned structure contains some basic information about the drawable and can also hold tile data for transfer to and from the core.

Note that the name of this function is somewhat misleading, because it suggests that it simply returns a handle. This is not the case: if the function is called multiple times, it creates separate tile lists each time, which will usually produce undesired results.

When a plug-in has finished working with a drawable, before exiting it should call gimp_drawable_detach() to make sure that all tile data is transferred back to the core.

gimp_drawable_detach ()

void
gimp_drawable_detach (GimpDrawable *drawable);

This function is called when a plug-in is finished working with a drawable. It forces all tile data held in the tile list of the GimpDrawable to be transferred to the core, and then frees all associated memory. You must not access the drawable after having called gimp_drawable_detach().

gimp_drawable_flush ()

void
gimp_drawable_flush (GimpDrawable *drawable);

This function causes all tile data in the tile list of drawable to be transferred to the core. It is usually called in situations where a plug-in acts on a drawable, and then needs to read the results of its actions. Data transferred back from the core will not generally be valid unless gimp_drawable_flush() has been called beforehand.

gimp_drawable_delete ()

gimp_drawable_merge_shadow ()

gboolean
gimp_drawable_merge_shadow (gint32 drawable_ID,
                            gboolean undo);

Merge the shadow buffer with the specified drawable.

This procedure combines the contents of the drawable's shadow buffer (for temporary processing) with the specified drawable. The 'undo' parameter specifies whether to add an undo step for the operation. Requesting no undo is useful for such applications as 'auto-apply'.

gimp_drawable_free_shadow ()

gboolean
gimp_drawable_free_shadow (gint32 drawable_ID);

Free the specified drawable's shadow data (if it exists).

This procedure is intended as a memory saving device. If any shadow memory has been allocated, it will be freed automatically when the drawable is removed from the image, or when the plug-in procedure which allocated it returns.

Since: 2.6

gimp_drawable_fill ()

gboolean
gimp_drawable_fill (gint32 drawable_ID,
                    GimpFillType fill_type);

Fill the drawable with the specified fill mode.

This procedure fills the drawable. If the fill mode is foreground the current foreground color is used. If the fill mode is background, the current background color is used. If the fill type is white, then white is used. Transparent fill only affects layers with an alpha channel, in which case the alpha channel is set to transparent. If the drawable has no alpha channel, it is filled to white. No fill leaves the drawable's contents undefined. This procedure is unlike gimp_edit_fill() or the bucket fill tool because it fills regardless of a selection. Its main purpose is to fill a newly created drawable before adding it to the image. This operation cannot be undone.

gimp_drawable_update ()

gboolean
gimp_drawable_update (gint32 drawable_ID,
                      gint x,

                      gint width,
                      gint height);

Update the specified region of the drawable.

This procedure updates the specified region of the drawable. The (x, y) coordinate pair is relative to the drawable's origin, not to the image origin. Therefore, the entire drawable can be updated using (0, 0, width, height).

gimp_drawable_mask_bounds ()

gboolean
gimp_drawable_mask_bounds (gint32 drawable_ID,
                           gint *x1,
                           gint *y1,
                           gint *x2,
                           gint *y2);

Find the bounding box of the current selection in relation to the specified drawable.

This procedure returns whether there is a selection. If there is one, the upper left and lower right-hand corners of its bounding box are returned. These coordinates are specified relative to the drawable's origin, and bounded by the drawable's extents. Please note that the pixel specified by the lower right-hand coordinate of the bounding box is not part of the selection. The selection ends at the upper left corner of this pixel. This means the width of the selection can be calculated as (x2 - x1), its height as (y2 - y1). Note that the returned boolean does NOT correspond with the returned region being empty or not, it always returns whether the selection is non_empty. See gimp_drawable_mask_intersect() for a boolean return value which is more useful in most cases.

gimp_drawable_mask_intersect ()

gboolean
gimp_drawable_mask_intersect (gint32 drawable_ID,
                              gint *x,
                              gint *y,
                              gint *width,
                              gint *height);

Find the bounding box of the current selection in relation to the specified drawable.

This procedure returns whether there is an intersection between the drawable and the selection. Unlike gimp_drawable_mask_bounds(), the intersection's bounds are returned as x, y, width, height. If there is no selection this function returns TRUE and the returned bounds are the extents of the whole drawable.

gimp_drawable_type_with_alpha ()

GimpImageType
gimp_drawable_type_with_alpha (gint32 drawable_ID);

Returns the drawable's type with alpha.

This procedure returns the drawable's type as if had an alpha channel. If the type is currently Gray, for instance, the returned type would be GrayA. If the drawable already has an alpha channel, the drawable's type is simply returned.

                      gint offset_y);

Offset the drawable by the specified amounts in the X and Y directions

This procedure offsets the specified drawable by the amounts specified by 'offset_x' and 'offset_y'. If 'wrap_around' is set to TRUE, then portions of the drawable which are offset out of bounds are wrapped around. Alternatively, the undefined regions of the drawable can be filled with transparency or the background color, as specified by the 'fill-type' parameter.
