Dear developers,

I am trying to make a GIMP plugin that can open a new drawable on the
screen. Just like when you make one from File->New.

Hi!

You can't show a drawable by itself, it needs to be in an image. Also, an image can't show itself, you must create a display for that. You are also using the API in weird ways, for example, objects such as layers and images are represented by integers in the plug-in context.

You are also saying that the plug-in takes the active image and drawable as parameter, but since you are creating a new image, you are not interested in those values (I assume) so there is no point in specifying these as arguments to the hello-world procedure.

I have attached a rewritten version of main.c (called hello-world.c since that is a name that doesn't conflict as much) that should do what you want. You might also want to consider using a scripting language like Scheme or Python for this.
