Returns the list of channels contained in the specified image.

This procedure returns the list of channels contained in the specified image. This does not include the selection mask, or layer masks. The order is from topmost to bottommost.

image_ID : The image.
num_channels : The number of channels contained in the image.
Returns : The list of channels contained in the image.


gimp_image_unset_active_channel ()

gboolean    gimp_image_unset_active_channel (gint32 image_ID);

Unsets the active channel in the specified image.

If an active channel exists, it is unset. There then exists no active channel, and if desired, one can be set through a call to 'Set Active Channel'. No error is returned in the case of no existing active channel.

image_ID : The image.
Returns : TRUE on success.


gimp_image_pick_correlate_layer ()

image_ID : The image.
Returns : The resulting layer.


gimp_image_add_layer ()

gboolean    gimp_image_add_layer            (gint32 image_ID,
                                             gint32 layer_ID,
                                             gint position);

Add the specified layer to the image.

This procedure adds the specified layer to the gimage at the given position. If the position is specified as -1, then the layer is inserted at the top of the layer stack. If the layer to be added has no alpha channel, it must be added at position 0. The layer type must be compatible with the image base type.

image_ID : The image.
layer_ID : The layer.
position : The layer position.
Returns : TRUE on success.


gimp_image_remove_layer ()

gboolean    gimp_image_remove_layer         (gint32 image_ID,

Remove the specified layer from the image.

This procedure removes the specified layer from the image. If the layer doesn't exist, an error is returned. If there are no layers left in the image, this call will fail. If this layer is the last layer remaining, the image will become empty and have no active layer.

image_ID : The image.
layer_ID : The layer.
Returns : TRUE on success.


gimp_image_add_layer_mask ()

gboolean    gimp_image_add_layer_mask       (gint32 image_ID,
                                             gint32 layer_ID,
                                             gint32 mask_ID);

Add a layer mask to the specified layer.

This procedure adds a layer mask to the specified layer. Layer masks serve as an additional alpha channel for a layer. This procedure will fail if a number of prerequisites aren't met. The layer cannot already have a layer mask. The specified mask must exist and have the same dimensions as the layer. Both the mask and the layer must have been created for use with the specified image.

This procedure adds the specified channel to the image. The position channel is not currently used, so the channel is always inserted at the top of the channel stack.

image_ID : The image.
channel_ID : The channel.
position : The channel position.
Returns : TRUE on success.


gimp_image_remove_channel ()

gboolean    gimp_image_remove_channel       (gint32 image_ID,
                                             gint32 channel_ID);

gint32      gimp_image_active_drawable      (gint32 image_ID);

Get the image's active drawable

This procedure returns the ID of the image's active drawable. This can be either a layer, a channel, or a layer mask. The active drawable is specified by the active image channel. If that is -1, then by the active image layer. If the active image layer has a layer mask and the layer mask is in edit mode, then the layer mask is the active drawable.

image_ID : The image.
Returns : The active drawable.


gimp_image_base_type ()

GimpImageBaseType gimp_image_base_type      (gint32 image_ID);

Get the base type of the image.

This procedure returns the image's base type. Layers in the image must be of this subtype, but can have an optional alpha channel.

image_ID : The image.
Returns : The image's base type.


gimp_image_undo_is_enabled ()

gboolean    gimp_image_undo_is_enabled      (gint32 image_ID);

Check if the image's undo stack is enabled.

This procedure checks if the image's undo stack is currently enabled or disabled. This is useful when several plugins or scripts call each other and want to check if their caller has already used 'gimp_image_undo_disable' or 'gimp_image_undo_freeze'.

image_ID : The image.
Returns : True if undo is enabled for this image.


gimp_image_undo_enable ()

gboolean    gimp_image_undo_enable          (gint32 image_ID);

Enable the image's undo stack.

This procedure enables the image's undo stack, allowing subsequent operations to store their undo steps. This is generally called in conjunction with 'gimp_image_undo_disable' to temporarily disable an image undo stack.

image_ID : The image.
Returns : True if the image undo has been enabled.


gimp_image_undo_disable ()

gboolean    gimp_image_undo_disable         (gint32 image_ID);

Disable the image's undo stack.

This procedure disables the image's undo stack, allowing subsequent operations to ignore their undo steps. This is generally called in conjunction with 'gimp_image_undo_enable' to temporarily disable an image undo stack. This is advantageous because saving undo steps can be time and memory intensive.

image_ID : The image.
Returns : True if the image undo has been disabled.


gimp_image_undo_freeze ()

gboolean    gimp_image_undo_freeze          (gint32 image_ID);

Freeze the image's undo stack.

This procedure freezes the image's undo stack, allowing subsequent operations to ignore their undo steps. This is generally called in conjunction with 'gimp_image_undo_thaw' to temporarily disable an image undo stack. This is advantageous because saving undo steps can be time and memory intensive. 'gimp_image_undo_{freeze,thaw}' and 'gimp_image_undo_{disable,enable}' differ in that the former does not free up all undo steps when undo is thawed, so is more suited to interactive in-situ previews. It is important in this case that the image is back to the same state it was frozen in before thawing, else 'undo' behaviour is undefined.

image_ID : The image.
Returns : True if the image undo has been frozen.


gimp_image_undo_thaw ()

gboolean    gimp_image_undo_thaw            (gint32 image_ID);

Thaw the image's undo stack.

This procedure thaws the image's undo stack, allowing subsequent operations to store their undo steps. This is generally called in conjunction with 'gimp_image_undo_freeze' to temporarily freeze an image undo stack. 'gimp_image_undo_thaw' does NOT free the undo stack as 'gimp_image_undo_enable' does, so is suited for situations where one wishes to leave the undo stack in the same state in which one found it despite non-destructively playing with the image in the meantime. An example would be in-situ plugin previews. Balancing freezes and thaws and ensuring image consistancy is the responsibility of the caller.

image_ID : The image.
Returns : True if the image undo has been thawed.


gimp_image_clean_all ()

gboolean    gimp_image_clean_all            (gint32 image_ID);

Set the image dirty count to 0.

Set the tattoo state associated with the image.

This procedure sets the tattoo state of the image. Use only by save/load plugins that wish to preserve an images tattoo state. Using this function at other times will produce unexpected results. A full check of uniqueness of states in layers, channels and paths will be performed by this procedure and a execution failure will be returned if this fails. A failure will also be returned if the new tattoo state value is less than the maximum tattoo value from all of the tattoos from the paths,layers and channels. After the image data has been loaded and all the tattoos have been set then this is the last procedure that should be called. If effectively does a status check on the tattoo values that have been set to make sure that all is OK.

image_ID : The image.
tattoo : The new tattoo state of the image.
Returns : TRUE on success.
