That's of course a different issue, you basically don't need a text PDB API then. All you need is the vectors API. > You made no comments on the vector layers api, do you think they are > feasible into 2.2? Actually we only planned to add an API to create vectors through the PDB. Basically a replacement of the current API that doesn't support all the new things that vectors can do compared to paths in 1.2. What Simon and me had in mind here is an API similar to what is used in PS and SVG. Such an API already exists internally: http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/app/GimpBezierStroke.html What you will need however is an API to query the vectors objects. That API should probably be similar to the API proposed above and I don't think that adding it would be overly difficult. Saven
