Indeed. So where is the C API documentation for drawing lines? When I search, all that comes up is one C paintbrush function, the Scheme interface, and this email thread. I've spent a bunch of time at http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/libgimp/ to no avail... (That's a lot of how I produced the code snippet in the message which started this thread.) Ah, a grep search through /usr/include/gimp-2.0/libgimp turned up gimpvectors, with a bezier line method. Why didn't I see it earlier? Ah, on developer.gimp.org there's no text next to the object name, no Description, no Details, no indication that this is how one draws lines. So I guess I create a gimpvectors object somehow, then use gimp_vectors_bezier_stroke_new_moveto() and gimp_vectors_bezier_stroke_lineto()? Or should I gimp_vectors_stroke_new_from_points()? How do I "stroke" the resulting path? Sven, just got your replies, thanks. Still scratching my head. I'll bang on it for a bit longer, and go back to Gdk if I can't make it work.
